Baller eddie_roberts_jr Posted July 24, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hey Ballers, just a little note to let everyone know that we will be introducing and an all new Rossi designed Vapor at the Nationals. The ski has been getting rave reviews from team riders and anyone who has had a chance to ride one. Whitney just won the Pan Ams on hers and brother JMac tied Nate for the runoff for 1st place and ended up second by the smallest of margins. This is an all new ski cut right here at Radar Lake and we're using some exciting new high tech materials in this all new shape. I've had more than one person claim they couldn't get their bindings off my ski so they said they might as well just take this one home. Kind of a Dirt and Horton thing.

Administrators Horton Posted July 24, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 24, 2015 @Chef23 the cycle never ends.

Baller pgmoore Posted July 24, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 24, 2015 Also, the fact that the 2016 Vapor is going to be different certainly does not mean that the 2015 Vapor is suddenly a bad ski! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller JC McCavit Posted July 25, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 25, 2015 @eddie_roberts_jr - Will there be production Vapors at Nationals, if so what length? Can we expect to seen any changes to the Vapor bindings for 2016? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller schafer Posted July 25, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 25, 2015 I'm more excited for this ski than I have been since well....The green vapor. Thanks for the sneak peak a month ago @eddie_roberts_jr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eddie_roberts_jr Posted July 25, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted July 25, 2015 We'll have 2016 Vapors in 65, 66, 67 and 68" at the Nationals. We're hoping to have the new Vapor Boa boots there as well. John, the new ski is pretty cool looking but then again you are very discerning.

Baller Ed_Obermeier Posted July 25, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 25, 2015 The green ones are gonna be getting real cheap now. Make a killer deal on a low mileage and still exceptional ski especially for us under-38-off skiers (not that it won't do 41 off - it will) come this winter, after the blue goes away and this one comes out. More ski than the majority of us will ever be skier, and still tons easier to ski than anything I've tried to date. Admittedly I haven't been on the blue one yet. Yeah it'll be a 2 year old ski, blah blah... Like buying a 4-5 year old low mileage Corvette. Still kicks serious ass but at a seriously discounted price. I'm good with green.

Administrators Horton Posted July 25, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 25, 2015 @Ed_Obermeier when you SEE the 2016 Vapor (aka Vapor 3) you may change your mind.

Baller rq0013 Posted July 26, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 26, 2015 It started off as the same shape as the vapor but now it's molded into a new ski. New: shape, concaves, rocker, bevels I think and larger flat spot. New materials too- lighter. I saw the progression of a few versions.

Baller tfriess Posted July 27, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2015 I'm no expert, but I do know that the 2016 Graviton Trick ski is red. Usually the Vapor follows suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller eddie_roberts_jr Posted July 28, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted July 28, 2015 Nope, the Lithium is black, orange and carbon with a bunch of blue on the bottom. The skis we bring to the Nationals may or may not have a hole or badge in the tip. Yup, Boa closure for the bottom laces on the Vapor boot.
