Nautibynature Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 This ski came with a boat I recently purchased. It is so much heavier than the newer ones. Anybody here that had one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller auskier Posted June 27, 2017 Baller Share Posted June 27, 2017 2002 HO ASX. Basically a little wider than the CDX - a legendary ski from HO for a number of years. It looks in fantastic condition for 15 years old. A modern comparison would be the ASX as a senate to a vapor graphite, just a little wider than the top end ski. It will feel like a slow heavy pig to a modern ski, but for its era, it was decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted June 27, 2017 Baller Share Posted June 27, 2017 It certainly is skiable for someone who is skiing open water or is a beginner in the course. It is definitely much heavier and will be slower than the newer skis. With a RTP instead of a rear boot it would be a great guest ski for folks that aren't serious skiers as that Venom will work with LFF or RFF.

Baller_ The_MS Posted June 27, 2017 Baller_ Share Posted June 27, 2017 It will make a great back rest for a bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller UWSkier Posted June 27, 2017 Baller Share Posted June 27, 2017 Yeppers. Vengeance ASX (renamed just Vengeance before it was retired). As @auskier said, it was like the Senate of its time. Very versatile, forgiving ski that was easy to push hard. Aluminum top, like the CDX. Always liked the looks of that ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nautibynature Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 @MS before I do that I'm going to try and run 41 off on it...first set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted June 27, 2017 Baller Share Posted June 27, 2017 Seems to me that Sully got into -41 on that ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bigskieridaho Posted June 27, 2017 Baller Share Posted June 27, 2017 That thing is sweet! I want it for a decoration too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller xrated Posted June 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2017 That was my first real ski back at age 18 or so. Always loved the looks and spent lots of time on it. Now it sits in the closet of my old room. Keep thinking about pulling it out for something just not sure what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bill22 Posted June 28, 2017 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2017 @Nautibynature you should of had Ray demo that ski and not your CX. Even though it's old it would have been better than his 90's model HO! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MDB1056 Posted June 29, 2017 Baller Share Posted June 29, 2017 I still have a 2000 CDX-1 of that vintage that I still think is an awesome ski . Narrower than that ASX and it really cranks when you push it. Like those old Venom bindings too. Good workhose bindings for us non high end skiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bill22 Posted June 29, 2017 Baller Share Posted June 29, 2017 @MDB1056 Yep, I still have my Venom on my guest ski and it's in good shape too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nautibynature Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Sounds like I might try and pickup a RTP and take this thing for a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
