Reginas ski?

[mbabiash]

Did anyone see reginas ski up close?

The bottom looked like a nano one and the top looked like a n1ft

I'm curious if it was just a graphic in her old ski.

Podium pics and post victory pics were with a blank ski.

 

[The_MS]

XT?

[mbabiash]

On the interview she thanked Dave for the flextail but........,

[Ed_Johnson]

At Nationals I asked Greg Badal about the N1FT, and he said that at that time Regina was the only one skiing on it, and that he had not tried it yet. His was on the FT and he did really well on it.

[mbabiash]

Looked like Martin bartalsky was on a n1ft.

[Razorskier1]

What I thought was interesting was just how big that ski looked next to Regina. Seemed both tall and wide (forebody). I found myself contemplating ski sizing after that, since my FT is 66.5 inches, about 6 inches shorter than me, and Regina's ski looked taller than her. Maybe I need a 76 inch ski to run 39 off ;-).

 

Of course, I realize ski sizing isn't as simple as height, weight, etc. Just found it interesting.

[The_MS]

That was a photo op ski, I would think she is still with the 65.25 that set a few records.

Check out the fin box.

[mbabiash]

Yep. There is not a cutout of the front of the fin clamp. And the top ribs for strength are either XT or regular nano one.

Looks like a new graphic on her old ski.

[Booze]

I saw her waiting on 2 ball @ 41 on one, confirmed slots present, ;)

I think it's a matter of 100% trust when $ is on the line. Give it a little time.

If I had couple/few WR's on a particular ski, I might be hesitant to part with it too.

 

[mbabiash]

I absolutely don't blame her. I just thought it was interesting.

Marketing is a must to sell skis.

I will say, I am skiing more buoys more consistently on the n1xt than any ski I've been on.

Mid. XTM and regular flextail included.

Whether the flextail it a gimmick or not, I'm loving it.

 

[ForrestGump]

Ive said it before and Ill say it again.... there is no guarantee that the top skiers a company has on staff are skiing on the current product.

[wskier]

Sure look like there were more flex tails than any other ski

[aupatking]

she skis 2 @ -41. Consistently. Doesn't matter if the damn thing has gills. It's got to be better than what she's on to change, and that is hard to do

[wskier]

I'm not saying Regina I'm saying there were more flex tails than any other brand I saw on Sunday. Nate Smith can ski on a paddle and still run 39

[aupatking]

Wasn't saying that to you, specifically, @wskier. I actually was avoiding a specific answer. The flex tail is allowing a lot of people to hit their high numbers more consistently. That's great. Does it give them extra buoys?

I want to be like @FWinter when I grow up. Thats all I know for sure. He and Nate are on skis without flexible tails and they are on fire. I'd take eeither of those skis.

Back on topic. I'm sure Dave is trying his hardest to make skis specifically for Regina, and I'm sure she's riding them every chance she gets. If I'm getting used to a ski thats been out for 2 months, I go get my bills paid on the horse I know. Not that skiing pays her bills.

Joel looked to be on an old favourite Prophecy, all other tourneys lately have been a GT. Thought that was interesting.

[liquid d]

who knocked Regina's front teeth out?

I saw at least 5 skis last weekend that were prototypes or preproduction or had the wrong graphics. I want to strongly discouraged you guys from trying to read meaning into that. Skiers at this level are often the R&D team to the factory they ski for. They are working on the newest or next stuff. They are looking for the next great thing for us.

[dthate]

That's funny.

[matthewbrown]

@liquid d better get her some of your duct tape and get those piano keys back in place.

[ForrestGump]

You guys realize that when they are pressing skis for test and prototype purposes, that they grab whatever top or bottom sheet might be available at the time. Sometimes it might be the current ski. Sometimes it might be a different one. Heck, I've had Radar press me a Senate C with a top and bottom from a different ski before because I didn't like the SC graphic that year.

[mbabiash]

@ Horton I'm not reading anything into it.

I was just curious if anyone saw if there were flextail slots on her ski.

 

 

[GOODESkier]

I think people think they know more about what happens in the factory and who is actually testing the skis then they really do.............. Those that know aren't posting that info on here.

I bought a Warrior Hockey stick, a dynasty model once ... it was a pro-stock meaning built for pro's in the NHL. It was built for Brian Gionta who at the time was the Montreal Canadiens Captain. Well the stick was definitely NOT a Warrior Dynasty when I compared the two side by side. Just goes to show this happens in all sports at all levels. It was a far better stick than a warrior dynasty.

[Glydon]

@ShaneH kind of like this ? http://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Slalom&postid=34008 Great deal I thought if you liked the vice graphic.

@liquid d

Congrats, too bad it wasn't a triple.

[gt2003]

@liquid d , I do have to admit that I had to do a double take before I was able to discern that it was just a shadow. That ProAm must have been a rought tourney for Regina :)
