I LOVE the black & copper. It is old school and looks diabolical. I will start a review in a few days. Can hardly wait.

I love my white and silver. I demoed the black and copper at the Ball of Spray in Austin and visually looked like a skinny tip. Probably would have a different perspective now that I have been on one since May 10th. Its really just a personal choice. if your inbetween lengths go with next longer. very stable, fast and can turn on a dime! Have run 35' 10 times in practice and setting Pb's almost every tournament since.

Love my white and silver. It was one of the first 67's. I was so psyched to get a BLP Asher design from the HO team that I'd have taken any color. The black copper, and yellow black look good too.

I'm 54, 190-195 so between 67" and 68". Although I was going to order a 67 now I'm thinking to go 68" which would be better at 32-34. A 67" may be more versitile as my son is 160.

@motoxchp I haven't ridden the ski yet but I don't expect it to feel big for its length. In other words I would think that sizing up would be more wise than sizing down. This is educated speculation / I'm moderately confident it is correct.

Isnt the rubber symbol on the tip different density rubber causing more or less tip chatter?

@motoxchp, I'd go 68" if you're going to be using it at 32-34mph. You could also look at a 67" Superlite CX. It's a very capable 32-34mph ski in the course.

I took from the photo shoot last week of Will running 34mph -41 on it.

@Horton @motoxchp when I ordered mine I talked to HO and they told me if you are in between it is best to size down for this ski

I'm not much of a skier, but I've ridden both sizes at 32 and 34 mph.. 68" was less physical work for me at those speeds and I am 6'0 200ish.. Someone pretty smart told me it is easier to make a big ski feel smaller than it is a small ski to ski bigger.. Or something like that. @aupatking did you ride my 68 yet?

[mmosley899]

I vote for the white one. 67" works for me @ 190#

 

[ALPJr]

@mmosley899 is that binding system available?

[motoxchp]

Mmosley899, at #190 what speed with your 67"? Have you skied it at 30-32? What binding are you using?

[mmosley899]

@ALPJr the MOB binding system is available in two weeks. MOB system release on front, with your choice of boot(HO, Radar, Reflex, or Powershell), and Radar HRT on back. That one is on a single plate, but also works with separate plates.

 

@motoxchp I ski shortline at 34mph, I would think a 68" would be better at slower speeds.

[ALPJr]

@mmosley899 HO VMax ? Are both front and rear releasable ?

[mmosley899]

@ALPJr the photo shows the HRT in rear, that does not release from the ski. You can also use the HO chop top or R style in rear.

 

HO Vmax, I added the cuff buckle...

 

[mmosley899]

@motoxchp order your VtypeR with Vmax front and Chop Top rear, upgrade to fully releasable MOB system later and use the same boot...

[motoxchp]

My plan is to order both a 68" V type R and a 67" SL CX with Vmax and Chop Top rear then I was considering the Reflex.
