  1. You are the best when you are from Indiana and you are named Nate!
  2. @Than_Bogan I agree but it just seems like companies such as Denali, Radar, D3 and KD let you in on the improvements in a more detailed way.
  3. This is also more expensive than prior goode skis at $2090 US
  4. @Than_Bogan couldn't agree more, I find all of this hype and these increasingly vague and buzz word filled descriptions wildly entertaining!
  5. Seems that goode just released the "best ski ever" again
  6. The enhancements drastically improve the consistency and overall performance of a shape whose winning lineage includes a Big Dawg Championship and multiple U.S. National titles, including Open Mens slalom victory. "This shape is a proven winner, but through a two-year R&D process we've been able to both increase top-end scores as well as user friendliness and predictability," said Dave Goode, founder and president of GOODE Skis. A new advanced internal construction process features an internal backbone running from the tail of the ski to the top of the tunnel. This feature leads to a more progressive “wind up and wind down” out of the turn and into the first wake. “The way the ski flexes into and rebounds out of the turn is one of the most important performance aspects in slalom ski design,” said Dave Goode, president and founder of GOODE Skis. “If the ski takes too long to rebound back to shape, you lose cross-course speed. But if it rebounds too quickly and in a jerky-jerky motion, the ski can be very inconsistent. The RéVolution’s flex and rebound is quicker than any other ski we’ve ever made, but it does so in a very smooth way that leads to great performance that you can count on.” Through a new carbon fiber resin system the engineers at GOODE were able to increase the durability of the ski while reducing weight, thereby increasing cross-course efficiency and decreasing drag - and the extra work associated with it. Additional features of the RéVolution include a water proof core and a refined and more forgiving flex/torsion ratio. What top skiers are saying about the RéVolution: “Stable, predictable and fast across course. This ski is effortless.” - Chad Scott “It gets you wide like a big ski and takes angle like a small ski. This is the best ski GOODE has ever built.” - Chet Raley “The RéVolution requires 20 percent less effort cross course than any of my previous skis, getting me to the buoy earlier and easier.” - Dave Miller “This ski has amazingly fast, yet controllable speed. The backside turns are unbelievable and the cross-course direction is outstanding.” - Greg Badal Available sizes and recommended sizing: 65.75" - 110 lbs. to 150 lbs. 66.5" - 140 lbs. to 180 lbs. 67.25" - 170 lbs. to 200 lbs. 68" - 190 lbs. and up.
  7. A difficult offside is a signature trait of the HO Monza! And the Triumph is crazy out of date. Definitely get yourself a new ski, you will feel like your talent doubled overnight!
  8. How does the CG fin make a ski feel in rougher than optimal water? Better, worse, the same?
  9. What line length does "short line" start at?
  10. Perfect technique, I haven't seen anyone do it better!
  11. I feel like Nater just wins at a torrid pace, hard to be better.
  12. Let's talk slalom, all time. I'm interested in some of the dudes from a long time ago that were mentioned.
  13. The above post was meant to be posted on another thread
  14. @horton sorry for making assumptions, what did this ski designer say that they see as a benefit of using a short wide ski for extremely short line?
  15. @MS that's an awesome response, I wonder what Lord Voldemort\Elon Musk of slalom\Dave had to say?
  16. I wouldn't ever buy a ski with a deep scratch like that
  17. @Agobran it easily could, plus it could break down at any moment.
  18. @Agobran I would stay away from that particular one because of the deep looking scratch on the bottom
  19. @Agobran I would get a 66" ski
  20. @Agobran it's an aggressive enough ski to progress to a high level but at the same time, it is known as quite a forgiving ski.
  21. @Agobran And I would say get a slightly used Radar Senate from ski it again. You could definitely find one for about $500.
