man those are nice skis at a crazy good price. How come your selling? Didn't see many reviews of these, come to think of it I don't think i saw any reviews of these? On paper (and in photos) they sound really fun.

Skis are for sale without bindings, just to get that straight.
Keith gives solid pre-season deals, so the price, I think, is in line.

BPS didn't jive with my skiing. Think I'll try another ski before putting more holes in this one.

Even at 183 cm, it's a lot of ski. I haven't tried other fun-shapes, FWIW.

Hard to believe these aren't gone yet. One snowflake and poof though.

Yeah, great price. I haven't skied these, and haven't heard anything one way or another on them, but enjoyed my Concepts last season (as much as one can with the crappy year we had). Keith builds a durable ski, that's for sure. These are basically a fatter version of the Concepts, IIRC. Tempting at that price, even though I don't need them at all.

rising to the top with the BPS's
you can too
buy these skis.

Dukes have been pulled from skis and re-used
mounted at dimple punch (10 cm behind ski center)
Keith has changed recommendation to 9 cm bending ski center

Help a brother out - I have too many fat skis

Get these versatile powder skis ready in time for the next big dump near you!

Price reduced to move.

$210 + Shipping (skied two half days in pow)

Bump for an insanely good deal.

How well do these things pivot/turn on a dime in trees or other tight spaces?

Yes.....

These skis have a significant amount of contact length, and ski in a burly fashion.
These are far from Praxis protest-style looseness.

I found that the skis like to make big radius turns.
Also, mount point was -10 cm (keith has revised to 9 cm from ski center)

Not a loose ski from my limited time on them.

They came with a 1/1 bevel.
I didn't do much in the way of detuning.
I'd likely go to a 2/2 if I were to keep them.

Also I'd remount at -8 cm...

see photos in next post for comparo to 188 S7, which is more of a pivot/turn on a dime ski in my experience

Keith liked them at 9 cm back of ski center (hence the revised mount recommendation, 1 cm forward from 10 to 9).

anyone ski in a larger, open ski area and wants to haul ass with some mega float?

These are the sticks

These will serve someone up to 6' and 200 lbs, no problem.

Lots of camber contact length

Tempted, they seem a lot like my 2006 Sumos but with longer tips & tails. Probably stiffer than brown Sumos though, if you say they like to make big turns.

A friend who skied sumos and handflexed my bps's says praxis might be 10% stiffer than the sumos.
bps's have a slightly larger turn radius as well.
It was awesome hauling down the bowl at Jackson with these for sure.

Still for sale?

yes, they are

Bump for a great deal...

hoarhey's good peeps, buy his stuff

Going to sweeten the pot.
