Thread: Explosiv Vintages

Hey rock chalk you best check out that pair in calgary cause im thinkin a guy like you would be much better off with a softer version of these skis.

Realing though thanks for the offer but i got them figured.

Meh, go fuck yourself. Im not even mad about the skis (especially with the news of tail delam), you just seem like a douche.

Ski off?

So heres the extent of the damage to the ebay explosiv i got last week. Still very easy to farmer fix at this stage. They have alot of vertical left in them.

that's nothing.

Just thought I'd report back on what I ended up with.

After skiing these a bit I decided I'd be happier with them mounted further back. The recommended line on these were 735 mm. I ended up mounting Barons on them at +1 or 745 mm from the tail.

I skied them today and was very happy with the new position. It was a bit weird looking at all that shovel compared to my other skis, but the skis really came to life with the reward mount. My guess is I could have gone up 1 more cm and been okay, but I am happy where they are...much better than +5...at least for me.

My question is about mounting point. They are mounted with Naxos and the previous owner had them set about +4 of the line with about a 307 bsl. My bsl is 295 and now I am about +5 of the line.

The line is roughly at 74 cm from the tail. My boot center mark is roughly 79 cm from the tail.

It's just the plain line, so I am guessing it is boot center and not boot toe. But is it the moved up boot center like the buddhas or the further back boot center like on previous years?
