Moment PB&Death. Group buy feeler.
Moment has offered to make some PB&Deaths available at standard retail price if 10 pre-orders happen.
What is a PB&Death you ask?
It's a PB&J shape (101 waist), pressed with the Deathwish triple camber profile, and the Deathwish flex.
Why would you want one?
1. Custom skis make you significantly cooler.
2. You think the Deathwish is a fantastic ski, but you want something a bit narrower on groomers / bumps / trees etc.
3. You believe in the gospel of triple camber. (Disclaimer: I don't actually know if it makes a lick of difference. I just know the Deathwish rules.)
4. You dig the PB&J, but want something one notch softer that still grips like a Deathwish.
5. You want some vintage Moment topsheet at retail cost. You don't care about the ski. Looking cool is 95% of the battle.
Here's what Melee says about them

Lastly, we have made some PB&Deaths and people love them. I personally haven't been on one yet but its one of the skis we are playing with more this Fall for the 19/20 Collection.
Quote:
All the past PB&Deaths we have made had the Deathwish flex and they were hyped on the outcome.
Logistics
Moment is a big operation. That doesn't mean they can make us skis at cut rate prices or customize every ski. It does mean that once they have 10 invoices, they will get shit done and will ship us beautiful skis.
Price is full retail. Given this is a PB&J shape I assume that means PB&J price of $729. Free shipping per their usual.
We have to agree on:
- 2 sizes. This should be simple: 182 and 188. If there are five ladies or small dudes, make your argument for a smaller size.
- Flex. I want a Deathwish flex or I'm out. (Note: I assume this will be the slightly beefed up Deathwish flex of the 2018/19 ski.) The PB&J flex is also possible. But we'd likely need 10 buyers for each.
- A topsheet. Any topsheet in the Moment collection, as long as we all get the same one. Make your pitch.
Respond here if you're interested or have questions.
Add your name once you're pretty firm you want in on this.
Once we get close to 10 firm parties, I'll email Luke @ Moment with our plan.
@Melee -- let me know if there is anything I left out. And thanks for making rad skis that we want more of.
P.S. I still think this ski should be named Le Petit Mort should it ever go into production. "The Little Death" -- or the sensation after orgasm.
