Nice!

Great thanks. The changes from the Pure 99 make sense to me. I never really got the design intent of the Pure 99. If I have 99 under foot its a soft snow ski or a day after snow ski and I want some...

I am curious as this ski appears to be identical to the Blossom Pure 99. Same shape, dimensions, build etc. Would be very surprised if it were not the same mold. What is different? Flex, thickness of...

FWIW I think you need a new boot fitter.

I would say they boot fitter owes you another pair of liners and a do over. The Mimic pro liner is a combination of moldable material and injectable material. So the liner needs to be heated like a...

I actual think the Peak view where initial they didn't even provide radius because it wasn't "relevant" to their design is true. With my 98s I have no problem making any turn shape I want. Tip over...

Friend of mine and I decide to go 50/50 on the BOGO. $445 for new a ski. Why not. I got the 98/184 put some Pivots I had on them and gave them a try. I have skied it on hard groomers, about 12"...

I have a pair of 184 RXs that Keith made for me last year that I never got around to mounting. I have a pair of Attack 14 mn's looking for a home. I need to get some brakes. I assume the 110 brakes...

The is a "toe cap" of a synthetic material around the toes. the heating elements, top and bottom, are on top of that wrapping around the big toe, not over the side of the little toe. I noticed no...

I bought a pair for 4th season Elk hunting this year. They work great in hunting boots but are way to thick for ski boots.

184 Fischer Ranger 102FR

This is unfortunately true. As a general rule the front rangers screw up every hill in Summit County every weekend, have no idea how to drive in the snow or the mountains. But they spend money, so...

Not sure what vintage RX you had. The current version of the RX 130 is slightly softer than the Hawx 130.

Using the Fischer measurement app (sitting) my feet are 100mm and 99mm at the balls. I have both the Hawx Prime 130s and the Lange RX 130 LV. I have used both the stock liners and the new Mimic...

They are actually great skis particularly after I changed the edge bevel to 1/2. Good on groomers and very good in soft snow of up to 12" (better than my Minderbender 108s in fact). They swing easy...

Praxis 9D8, 185cm, #4 Heavy Hitter core, mounted with Pivot 12s 305BSL. Edge bevelled to 1/2. 25ish days on them.

$500.00, pick up Summit County

Try the Fischer RS One 86GTs. They have a little bit of tip and tail rocker to add some versatility that the Fischer Curve lacks. The 86GTs just rip. They are constructed with a top and bottom layer...

The JSkis were part of a bigger quiver. Currently from narrow to wide Fischer RC One 86 GT (175), Praxis #4 9D8 (185), K2 Mindbender 108TI (179), Praxis #4 RX (184), ON3P asym Billy Goat (184).

I...

I had a pair of the last edition of the Masterblaster. I liked them and skied them for a couple of years. They are a tad on the soft side and ski short. So go up not down if you are between sizes on...

I have put pen to paper and have calculated where the Praxis recommended mount spot is in relation to the center point of the effective running surface (camber contact in Praxis speak) for several of...

Very interesting observations. How would you describe your skiing style? Balanced? Tip driver? Older school directional? As an example I am definitely a directional skier who prefers to ski through...

I am going through a similar thought process. I have my 9D8s at -1 and really like them there. My Billy Goats are OTL, but that is -9 I believe, had a pair of last years Woodsman 116s mounted OTL and...

I admit this is getting into the weeds a bit. The RX specs say -8 mount point which translates to -7.6 on a straight tape pull. Which makes sense given my 184s are 182.2 on a straight tape pull. When...

I have been to the shop. Quality operation, quality product. Mike the owner is a good guy. I think when talking with them to design your ski they tend to skew soft, keep that in mind. Had a pair of...

Asym BGs for cat skiing or breakdown and acquire new C&D or Protests?

those are beauties!

RX porn

Looking forward to the report!

I am trying to decide if I'd like the MVPs. I had a pair of last years ON3P Woodsman's which are -6. They were ok for me but nothing more. I suspect the mount point had a lot to do with it. By...

What is the current thinking on MVP mount point? "Recommended is -6".

Beauties!

Black Diamond Mission pants.

For years I was Eberlestock and switched to a Kuiu. Really like the flexibility of the framed packs. Plus they are considerably lighter. The design of the pack when hauling meat puts it right against...

Og, those are beauties! What wood veneer is that, oak?

RX 184 #4 flex Enduro core.

Orbi. works great.

All I can say is wow! 184s, straight tape pull 182.2. With wrappers on 2091/2085.

Beautiful! Great job Thom, great job Keith and team!!

Can't wait to receive mine, Keith tells me the have been pressed and are awaiting final tune.

Interesting points and observations. I am somewhat surprised the Fischer app does build a skier level variable into the sizing recommendation. The would be very simple. As for me in my current boot...

The Fischer app is perplexing. I measure 263/100 and 259/98. I have a pair of 26.5 Fischer Rangers and a pair of 26.5 Atomic Hawx. The app tells me my size is 28.5.....

We hope they'll be great. I have my pair on order as my liners are packed out. I may be wrong but I would assume you would get the larger boots and the "under sized" liner would fill the space with...

He should try a Atomic boot with the new "Professional Series". They are built around a new injection system with a PU based injectable. It is not the traditional rock hard foam injection. It sounds...

Hopefully that means that my custom order will be built before the end of August! 😊

Today is the last day to get your orders in for this years summer build sale. If you've been on the fence today is the day.

Ahhh but the ON3P bases allow you to pull a Sgt Schultz "I see nothing!"

The standard Praxis RX is 116 under foot, given your parameters not sure why you would consider that ski anyway. In the Praxis world given what you described as your target ski you should consider...

The following is build information that Keith provided to me that I found very helpful and educational, you may find helpful with your order.

"I think you are good to go without the carbon on the...

Absolutely agree with comments. Of course skis will have to be different relative flexes depending on the skis' design and purpose. Perhaps i am taking keith's comments too literally. Maybe it is...

What years were they? Flex them side by side? If both newish and you flexed side by side so that you are not working from memory then one of the manufacturers have a consistency problem or a #4 flex...

Keep in mind that the ski stiffness levels are relative within the Praxis line. Kieth says the ratings are consistent from model to model so a #4 9D8 is the same stiffness as a #4 MVP, #4 RX etc. I...
