Baller Ed_Obermeier Posted May 6, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 6, 2015 @skosney sounds like the green Vapor's will be going at fire sale prices now. Pick one up cheap - you won't be dissapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller thager Posted May 7, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 7, 2015 And @skidawg has softened it up some so it should be identical to the new blue one. Blah.. Blah.. Blah!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller aupatking Posted May 8, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 8, 2015 Still Green. Still hate you. Haters gonna hate You know what, F that. Between sky club Jack Daniels, and me REALLY liking my green goblin, I'm gonna go stomp -35 this summer. Gotta get the doc to pull a screw out, but I'm gonna do it. My green will eat your blue for lunch. Well, maybe brunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skinut Posted May 11, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 11, 2015 Went from the green to the blue. Definitely a better turning ski. I felt like the ski was more predictable at the finish of the turn and I could count on it being in the right position so I could start my pull across the wakes.

Baller skidawg Posted May 13, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2015 I can count on one hand the number of skis that i really like over the last 10 years, not sure that I really loved more than 1 or 2. After a few more sets on the new blue, I freaking LOVE this ski. It does so many thing right. This season just got exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skidawg Posted May 13, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2015 Easy thager, no it's not, there is definite improvements in the flex in this ski I really like over the green one. Don't be such a hater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skidawg Posted May 24, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 24, 2015 How much do you weigh? What line lengths, boat speed? Have you tried the fin back? I run mine a little longer and shallower but my dft is way back, I tried the fin forward and didn't like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jimski Posted May 24, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 24, 2015 180 # 22-32 off 34.2 I will try moving it back today I get good speed across the wakes but when I start to pre turn it gets real planky slows down and wont turn. funny thing is I have used these setting in the green one and its a rocket thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jimski Posted May 25, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 25, 2015 @skidawg looking good. 29.7/8 same as I had on the green one I did try a few sets at 29.3/4. I moved The dft to .740 for a set tonight and not really any better ,on the green one I could really jump up on the front of the ski into the ball and it would turn nicely this one doesn't seem to. I think I am going to jump back on the green one until I can get some help with this one or just go back to the stock settings on the radar site and start again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markchilcutt Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 I would stay at 29.75 and go back to Rossi's fin settings. Without video it's tuff to help. @chrisrossi any ideas what might help @jimski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gginco Posted May 25, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 25, 2015 @jimski I suspect you got a lemon! No way should it be that finicky especially after being good to go with the green one. Shoulda just stayed green and not drank the blue kool aid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aupatking Posted May 25, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 25, 2015 I gave the "insightful " to you @gginco mostly because I wish this thread would die. I finally got to put in some sets on my green before follow up surgery to remove pins. I loved it but I'm reading nothing but magic about the blue. @jimski I hope you hate it. But tell us all about it, so I don't order one of these blue ones before my stitches come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jimski Posted May 29, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 29, 2015 I have put more than 15 sets on the blue vapor and no luck. I struggle to get enough angle and can barley run a pass at -15,34.2. So today I jump back on the green ski after being off it for almost two weeks 15,22,28,and 2@32 which is two off my P.B needless to say the blue one is on the shelf (for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markchilcutt Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 @jimski that is crazy! Sounds like something is wrong with that blue ski. Have you tried getting in touch with Radar to talk it or the shop you bought it from? Did you mention a ski clinic at Radar lake coming up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted May 29, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 29, 2015 @jimski something is definitely wrong. If you are capable of running into 32 off you shouldn't be struggling to run your opener on the blue vapor or frankly pretty much any high end ski. I would reach out to someone and see if you can get some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londonskier Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 My understanding is these skis are exactly the same, except for the color. My Mrs bought me the limited edition Vapor for Xmas, red and blue. I see they are still selling them at Performance. Granted, they did not say how many it was limited to! FYI the green skiis better to me or is that in my head?
