I think the Ninthward First Blood is also close to this. However, I'd say it's a bit softer than the Explosive and it is a twin..... WIth the Monstros comming, I'll sell you mine cheap

A Euro boutique company now makes them as I understand. I can't quite remember where I got this from, I think Hemas mentioned them a while ago. Originally Posted by Mgof

Hart Fuelie Boss? Not sure if that would be stiff enough for you, but might be worth a shot.
Stockli Stormrider DP Pro in a 184? I bet that would be sweet. 125-94-111 with a 29.4m radius.

Does it have to be 95mm in the waist? If not, maybe 189 squad.

I agree on Xpl and Titan/Crea Pro or older LP 186. No need to look further. Maybe the Kneissl Tanker could be an alternative, but it is and feels softer than the others.

189 squads (104 waist, 36ish meter turn radius, pretty easy to find cheap)
186/194 LP (97mm waist, 30ish m. turn radius, also easy to find cheapish if you go to the older orange ones....though they will probably be used)
Stockli DP 184 (125-94-111 with a 29.4 m radius, pretty expensive)
explosvies, 190 (125-95-112, 30ish radius, good deals used)

Igneous ODC -- 120-92-106
or FFL -- 125-98-109
Both have square tails, as stiff as you want and come in 190. Both are a shade over 30m though.

Our world is full of surrender at the first sign of adversity, do not give up when the challenge meets you, meet the challenge. Through perseverance comes the rewards, the rewards that make life so enjoyable.
Seize the day, trusting little in the future.
if you want something, go after it. if you want to screw someone over, look DEEP in your heart and realize Karma is a bitch

yeah i know i would love the 195 80% of the time, but i do ski bumps and trees on occasion, and i am worried about their versatility, i guess that is why i need to demo them before the end of season

The blues has always been about taking your problems and turning them into something you can dance to, drink to and fuck to.
We're certainly not a blues band in any kind of purest sense, but to me Rock and Roll has always had it's roots in that tradition.
