Thanks for the responses guys. Does anyone know how they compare in terms of lateral support when compared to the radars and ho's?

@Horton I know you unboxed these a while ago. Have you gotten a chance to try them out?

Does anyone have any experience with these bindings? I'm interested as to how they compare to other similar boots on the market like the vapors and v-max. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Has anyone tried the prodigy bindings? I'm looking for some new bindings and I can get some on SIA for really cheap. I'd like to know how they compare to the vapor boot which would be my choice if I weren't a broke college student.

Nevermind. I found them.

Does anyone know where I can find the stock fin and binding numbers for a 68 v-type?

There's also a V type that would be another option. Thanks

Frank

Hey Ballers,

I am a collegiate skier looking to get on a new ski and I am going back and forth between a D3 Helix H2 and a Quest 45 that I found on SIA. Currently I can run the course at 30 and 32 mph -15 and I am hoping to put in some work and improve this summer. I am currently skiing on my dad's old HO system 8. If any of you have ridden either or both of these skis and could give me some pros/cons it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Frank

Awesome Video. Some great camera angles and that site looks sweet.

Hi guys,

I've been tricking a lot lately and the reverse back wrap is really giving me problems. I can do a standard back wrap and reverse back turning my whole body around with no problem, but I can seem to get around on the reverse backwrap. I feel like learning one would make by back to backs and reverse wake backs faster and/or easier. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Frank

I think the CX is a traditional narrower ski while the TX is more of a wide ride ski probably designed for slower speeds. I would guess that the TX evolved from the HO triumph which was a pretty popular intermediate ski.

Does anyone know anything about that revo rebel z from my last comment? I know a releasable hardshell is my best option, but I'm not really able to spend that much money right now (I'm a college student).

Also if anyone has an old hardshell set up (even just the release mechanism) they are wanting to sell, I might be interested.

How about something like this?

I'm pretty sure it releases similar to a radar boot with the liner coming out but I'm not sure if the lack of buckles significantly reduces the support of the binding.

Thanks. Is it safe to trick with the non-releasable hardshell?

I finally bought the trick ski I have been wanting for years and now I am deciding on bindings. The reflex is a bit pricey for me so for a while I had pretty much decided on a Wiley trick wrap until I looked at the fluid motion website. They have a few options that would be in my price range because they don't have external release systems. The REVO rebel Z is only $169 but it is completely lace up without any buckles. The REVO direct to plate system is a little more expensive but has buckles (a few options for the number of buckles) and their website says that it is made for trick skiing. The EVO front boot system would also be in my price range. Are any of these good options or should I just stick with a Wiley?

@Wish I'm coming off of a 67" ho system 8. I have been told that it is the same mold as the monza but with less expensive materials.

@Horton how would this ski work for a 15 offer who is looking to progress deeper into the course?

As a youngster I would have to say that the stuff is sick brooooo!!!!!!

But seriously I really like the shirts and hats and will be ordering shortly.

Hey Guys,

The season just ended for me up here in Wisconsin so it is time to start thinking about next year. This is the year that I have really decided to get dedicated to my training and improve in the offseason so I can improve next summer. I was surfing the web and came across this. I was just wondering what you guys thought about it. Any input is appreciated.

My uncle is a former world champion and the owner of a pretty well known company in the barefoot world... It's in my blood.

 

Now this is taking it to another level!

I want to see a flip in a toe pass... Just kidding.

I agree that those videos of cory are ridiculous and awesome but when you look at it from a non skiers perspective I think the flips are more attractive. Just think why wake boarding has become so popular.

I too have been thinking about buying a trick ski for a while now and I recently saw this post on Instagram http://instagram.com/p/eQlJsUIOFK#

Apparently Jimmy Siemers was involved in the design of the ski so it must be pretty good.

Just trying to keep the options open.

It would be awesome if you could tape it and either post it here or maybe have a webpage that you could pay to see it. I wouldn't be able to travel to Minnesota to attend but I would be very interested in a video type deal if you taped it

Dang that really sucks. I was actually planning on buying one. They looked awesome and I especially liked the design of the carbon fiber ones. I think it is pretty obvious that you didn't copy him because you posted your whole design process on this thread.
