Confirmed.

And Kaj and I are working on a new beast. It will kill your children.

Right, that makes sense that it's James Heim's ski.

I shouldn't really comment on how the Jimis flex, because I might be wrong about their application and not hand flex skis. Wait a second... hand flexing skis, seems to put a lot less stress on skis than actually skiing them, no?! Maybe folks are right, ski them first instead of comment. Nonetheless, I think they look pretty versatile compared to a Movement Flyswatter.

Yes, but can the Jimi swat flies?

Does anyone know if armada is gona come out with more of the 08/09 jj or a new one all together?

They told me that it will be the same with new graphics. Do not recall if source was Norcal rep or company itself.

Professor, new Stockli DP a few pages back.

Hey Super Gaper, new Scot Schmidt? Aww, you don't care, you got Bro's.

So a big "Fuck You" to K2 (Volkl, Line) and Black Diamond for doing a huge favor for themselves and no one else.
PS. That Atomic looks sick. Can anyone comment on the flex?

Thank you!

What are the dims on the Shogun?

Edit: I found a French video in a Google search. Apparently it will be 100 underfoot with rocker.

The FU to companies taking production overseas is worn out. It's not a matter of what is made in China/Mexico anymore it's what isn't.

It's because nobody likes you.

And you might be retarded.

Oh cool - please do tell! Can't wait to hear about it!

So is there a DP as well, or is the rotor the only big ski in the lineup?

I didn't see a regular DP (94mm) in the pdf but I did see the DP+ (101 underfoot) looks unchanged from this year.

uh!!! so it's RIP, regular DP????????????????????
DP+ is really another ski...

From what I have seen the new topsheet is blue/white, but that could have been a different ski..

More to come on the 27th when we are at SIA.

nice moments-------------------------

I might, in fact, be retarded. I also never pay anything near full retail for my ski clothing. Most of it was bought on proform (who wants to touch me) or on sale. Oh, I forgot to mention Liberty. If they're so "Fearless and independent", they should slap a big "Made in China" sticker on them. DPS can fucking suck it, too. $900 dollars? are you fucking for real? OOH! It's got carbon fiber in it! No one's done that before!
Again, not against the globalization, just the price.

PS: Nice Moments, like the aminals.

what are your thoughts on the new "hull" technology on the fisher watea? its a cool concept although i dont think you will notice the difference that much. just makes the tips a chunk heavier.

Don't worry, I'm retarded too.

Chinese skis at MSRP = bad. Chinese skis at proform = good.

I'd have a pair of 196 Lhasas were I made of money.

Dynastar did this about 5 years ago with the Legend 8000 and 8800. They claimed it floated better, wonder what Fischer's story is going to be.

Nothing, I think most of their stuff looks great. The konflicts, the BB Pro, etc, all look good.

Some of the new ones even look ok (konflict).

The red one and the Morrison, though, are just awful.

Thanks PJS. For those of you that are not paying attention, the Boomerang dimensions are exactly +15mm on a Nordica FF/W105. Depending on flex, this might just be the magic ski. Here's to hoping no rocker or rise!

I'm pretty sure it has the new reverse sidewall technology.

Really! Are they made of some new antimatter composite?

I prefer my boots to have just the right amount of overkill. Some boots don't have enough, but others like the ones you mentioned definitely have too much.

Fugly is the new steeze, obviously.

I overdid my overkill once. The result was two complete kills, so I sold one in gear swap. It was awesome!
