Administrators Horton Posted September 16, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 16, 2016 I pulled my old Nano 1 off the rack today since I heard Goode was bringing it back. The old ski is exactly the way I remembered it or maybe even better than I remembered. Not super fast but ridiculously forgiving. I ran two 32s, a 35, a 38, and 2 @ 39. That equals my practice and tournament PB. For me 38 is pretty hit and miss. Anytime I run it I'm darn happy. To run it first set on N1 in a few years is an eye opener. I'm not saying the 38 I ran was pretty. It was pretty horrendous but in the end 6 balls is 6 balls.

Baller wskier Posted September 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 17, 2016 That's why I like this web site. I loved the 9100 butt I like the 9200 better nobody that I skied with liked it as much as the 9100. I think the 9100 was a game changer. It's nice to see @Horton goes back and rides past review skis.

Administrators Horton Posted September 17, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted September 17, 2016 Best part is the look of disbelief on my neighbor / boat driver Bob's face when I pull out some random ski and run 38 first try.

Baller_ Wish Posted September 17, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted September 17, 2016 Pull the S2 back out for a swerve. Considering doing just that this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dthate Posted September 17, 2016 Members Share Posted September 17, 2016 Very cool John, are you going to have time to ride the new ONE.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted September 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 17, 2016 @Horton -- that was sort of how I felt skiing the Flextail. Scores weren't pretty, but I could put up scores. Pull my brains out, reach turn, repeat. Never rode the N1. But . . . finding a ski that gives you margin for error can be a recipe for running high scores more consistently.

Administrators Horton Posted September 17, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted September 17, 2016 @dthate the reason why I pulled out my old N1 is that I am getting one of the reissued skis next week from Goode. I am going to do a mini review on the reissued skis and then the plan is to do a Rev6 review in the spring.

Baller skiboyny Posted September 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 17, 2016 Be curious to hear your review of Rev6. I can't imagine what can be done to a ski, to make it better than the Rev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Cent Posted September 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 17, 2016 Also looking forward to Rev 6 review. Own a Nano 1 and a Rev 6 and prefer the Rev 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Zman Posted September 18, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2016 Can a review to compare the new N1 with the new N1XT be included? Would be curious how they compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller A_B Posted September 18, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2016 I don't know, basing anything on practice scores, is sort of you know, not legit.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted September 18, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted September 18, 2016 Break out a 9500 and compare it to the Rev 6 and the N1. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted September 18, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted September 18, 2016 @Zman that is sort of unofficially in the works. @MISkier 9500 was a big deal in it's day but i do not think it is on the MOASS short list like the N1 I am also looking forward to Rev6. Seems like the buzz on that ski started slow and is building.

Baller skiboyny Posted September 18, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2016 I have a 9500 in my basement. I don't believe it's in the same league as the REV. Different animal really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller wawaskr Posted September 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 20, 2016 @Horton will love to hear your comparison of the Nano One and the XT. Will you be getting the new version of both skis to ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted September 20, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted September 20, 2016 @wawaskr I would assume that the new XT will be the last ski I will ride this year Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ The_MS Posted September 20, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted September 20, 2016 @wawaskr The XT is a bit faster then the N1 but is also a bit more squirrely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller liquid d Posted September 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 20, 2016 imo the N1 is more foregiving and a bit less critical on setup. It seems the XT has a bigger flatspot which i believe gives it the increased crosscourt speed, but it gives up a bit of turning ability for that advantage. You need to try both to pick the right stick for your style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
