    Tad, if you want a bag/sleeve just for the ski I would go with Eagle. Get the one with the built in fin protector. I have also heard of people using a padded snowboard bag for their slalom ski, boots, liners, gloves, rope, etc. I am thinking of getting a 175 cm Dakine snowboard bag for my equipment. Been looking at them on the internet but stock is low right now because it is not snowboard season. New stock should be coming out soon.

    If money were no object, I would start my own ski company and hire Andy Mapple, Dave Goode, Denny Kidder, and the LaPoint brothers as my ski designers. They would make me a hollow cored, resin transfer molded, dual rockered, dual locked, stepped bottom asymmetric unbreakable ultralight mid-mid-ride secret prototype R&D test ski built with nano carbon technology and real 3K twill weave carbon fiber graphics!

    I wonder if it will have the same black/white smoke graphics so that when I get one my wife won't know I bought a new ski.

    @MS. I didn't see you sniffing the inside of the box. What did it smell like?

    Instead of reintroducing the 9100, shouldn't Goode be working on and testing their latest prototype, the Mid Mid which is dimensionally between the Mid Ride and the Traditional?

    I remember paying $690 (not $990) for my original 9100. $890 for my 9500 and $990 for my 9700.

    Have they figured out a way to put inserts into this hollow ski? Doesn't matter to me as I use 3M Dual Lock.......just curious. The other hollow ski on the market (Warp) does not have inserts.

    Be nice to have a portable Ski-Doc model where the two ends fold up. Easier to store and take with you to tournaments. Otherwise looks like a very nice, well-thought product.

    I need to get one of those. Can you post the web site where you got it? The T-Shirt, that is!

    Goode skis

    KM replied to Skihack's topic in Skis Fins Bindings

    My favorite Goodes were the 9500, 9900SL (Traditional), and the Nano Twist Mid. Not coincidentally they all have very similar flexes (within a few pounds) as measured by my own flex tester.

    That was a funny video. I always have to do the unboxing ceremony in my basement after my wife goes to sleep so I don't get yelled at for buying a new ski. It used to be easy with all the Goodes being black and orange, so she never knew I got a new ski. It was hard explaining the white/smoke graphic on my latest ski though.

    There is a slalom course on the Allegheny River behind Nine Mile Island. The name of the ski club is called Golden Triangle Water Ski Club. There are also a number of private tournament ski lakes in PA and OH within about a 2 hour drive.

    I use 2 strips of 400 (clear) and 2 strips of 250 (clear) on the plate, and 4 strips of 250 (clear) on the ski. No pre-release issues whatsoever. I weigh 180 pounds. I personally like clear because it is much easier to remove and clean the residue from the ski.

    What are those fin settings on that Warp?
  21. KM
    I should add that I mount my first generation Riedell/Fogman shells to the G-10 plate then attach to the ski using 3M (Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing) Dual Lock in a similar fashion as the Goode Powershells.

    They are called Attwood Spring Lifts. Got mine at www.jamestowndistributors.com They install very easily. Just snap right in.

    I have a sheet of black G-10 in 0.092" thickness. Is that too thin to make a G-10 binding plate out of? I was thinking it would flex better and also be slightly lighter. All my previous G-10 plates were made from 0.125" thick G-10. Thanks.

    I bought an Eagle Neoprene Ski Sock with built in fin guard. Problem with it was the fin protector had no drainage and the neoprene is not breathable, so if you put your ski away a little damp the water stays in contact with the ski. Sort of makes a humid environment for the ski tail. Faded the graphics and the black paint peeled away at the tail of my Goode Nano Twist.
