Thread: 2011/12 gear rumor mill.... yup

Dalbello Scorpion: Fucking get them. They rock. Got about 35 days on the 130's this year, they fit/ski like a lange. Highly recommended/awesome.

Salomon Rocker 2: good skis if you are a regular poster in NS. Reminded me to much of the JJ's I skied on last year to be awesome. Even with the (more) traditional mount I rode them on from a team athlete, they were just too soft and jibby. the megawatts I have been skiing this year have been awesome.

What is that binding on the Seth's? Isn't that like the 10-DIN marker, or something like that?

Edit: Does the binder on the Hellbent look different than a current Jester/Griffen as well? Maybe they're being updated?

That's a Marker Squire..

The binder on the Seth looks like a squire from this year. Same toe and heel as the F12. Looks like Jesters on the Hellbents.

the hell bents are a bit more flourescent than the picture makes them look. Saw Pep riding them at Alta yesterday. Still my favorite hellbent graphics yet

The Super 7 will be available in a 188 size as well.

did they change the tip rocker on the 'seths for next year? looks a little shorter.

Holy fucking shit those bents look sick. I hate this my pair from this year so bad (only as far as graphics are concerned, they ski fantastically). Super stoked. Any actual ski or dimension changes?

Rumor has it there will be a Jester PRO binding, and the color schemes are similar to the squires from this year. Could be what you are seeing on those Seth's.

8-18 DIN or something?

Those salomons from the first page are for sale in the Whistler Salomon shop, they are a blue pastel topsheet.

regardless heel piece on both of those looks new

Something new from Salomon.

Perhaps the Rocker 2? Or do you mean the stoner skier named Abma next to them?

I have not been following the Rocker 2 thread, perhaps that is what the ski is. Saw the pic and figured it would go in the gear rumour thread.

"mr pollards opus", EP's new ski project sounds pretty interesting.

No it's not a new version Rocker 2 nor a replacement of the Rocker 2. It's an entirely different ski that was tested in Whistler last weekend by the team. No plans for production as of yet, just testing shapes and such.

Cool. Blame the Biglines guys for the leak if someone needs to heckled for the source of the pic.

edit: What mounting pattern is that? The new AT binding? Almost looks like the Diamir pattern.

Shirk that looks like a Quadrax toe (non-driver) with a equipe style heel maybe a sth 12 or 14.

wrong.

looks like 2 marker comp 1400 toes.

Looks like the Salomon version of the Hellbent.

Guess I am just used to my 977 mount pattern, not familiar with the other style patterns. It was the 3 in the heel seemed odd to me.

it looks like none of that.

the q-toe has the single center hole infront of the other 2 holes, and the heel holes would be the same as anything else from salomon.
