Baller GregHind Posted July 28, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2020 I have a 67” prophecy sitting on the shelf, haven’t tried to sell it. Not worth much. Is it worth buying bindings to give my son aged 14 to ski mini course at 46kph. He currently has a 20 year old Obrien junior and progresses fairly quickly.

Baller skimtb Posted July 28, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2020 What does he weigh? What size is the ski he is on now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GregHind Posted July 28, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted July 28, 2020 About 120 pounds and growing fast. I don’t have the junior ski with me right now. What would an oversized prophecy be like at slow speeds? Terrible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted July 28, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted July 28, 2020 Most junior skis like the Obrien are 59 or 60", which is too small for a 50 lb kid, let alone a 120 lb 14yo. A 67" ski would about the right size, but from what I remember about the Prophecy it was unpredictable unless pushed really hard. Give it a try - if he does ok stick with it, if not search ski-it-again for a 66-67" D3 or Radar. I would also strongly recommend ditching the mini-course and slow down to where he can make the full course at long line - maybe 22-24mph to start. If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MDB1056 Posted July 28, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 28, 2020 Agree with @Bruce_Butterfield . Connelly's like to ski fast and hard.... Also +1 for the full course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
