Found a sneak peak of your old babies on google photos :biggrin:

I persuaded a friend of mine to buy them up when I saw the your finn-add some years ago. I really do regret not buying them myself...

Got an Orbea Wild this summer. It's been great, but not for much longer: Ski season is getting real close!

Perfect!
Thanks a lot! 🙂

Kid-kapow, you have both the 2017- and last years version of the BG, right(?)

Could you please post some rocker comparison photos of the two? 😇

Were some of the changes from the BG108 to BG110 similar to those for 116 to 118: slightly more camber and lower tail splay?
What else changed in the 110 (except the lengths) ?

BG108t from a few...

Like mentioned on the previous page; my experience is the opposite. Love the flat alpinists (reason i bought them), hated my old radicals (which I shimmed)

What I ended up doing with my radicals...

As mentioned, the flat stance of the Alpinist may be a huge deal for some. (good or bad)
I specifically bough mine because of this fact (and the price + light weight) I've used large toe-shims on...

Just noticed Dennis Risvoll's original FWT SGs on finn.no ("Norwegian craigslist") a few days ago:

They've seen some action ;)...

Going forward would put you more over of the RES-section which does not sound good at all to me. If you really have to deviate on a BG, I'd imagine going back would be better for most people.

I know right? But it gets even worse than that super rearward mount:



I showed the guy the line on the sidewall when I gave him the skis. I wanted to be 100% sure. (lol)
If he went with the...

I really do love the Izzo, but I gotta admit I still have second thoughts every now and then about not buying your Jeffsy instead ;)
My everyday riding is on super mellow trails though, so I KNOW...

This season must be the worst in my 40+ years. Local resorts still have not opened cause there is not enough snow. Closest one a few hours away have opened the shittiest slopes with man-made snow,...

sf - about your old 191 bearclaw tours:

After his first day on them, the guy who bought them from you told me and another friend on 191 / 184 BGs: "NOW I get it... you guys have been cheating this...

^ Hehe. Yeah, so many awesome graphics. That blue/white BG (I assume 15/16) is one of my absolute favorites as well :)




Yeah. I was playing around with the idea of getting a 50-50 layup for...

Top level QC indeed. 2 grams! :)

I guess I was just lucky this time with the topsheets. Sent them an eMail and got back:

Very happy with how they turned out.
I asked for some 13/14 BG and CD...

hehe, I've been close a few times. ;)

More BGT108 pics (with 16/17 BG for scale)
Weight is probably not correct, but at least shows how close they are.

^ Yup.
I'm sure they would sell a few more skis simply by adding some hi-res photos on their site.

Know the feeling. I keep refreshing Instagram-stories in hopes I will spot my pair in the background. Went with some old-school graphics, so if they get insta'd I know they are mine :D
That duck...

Waiting for mine to arrive. Fingers crossed I'll have them before holidays.
What bindings did you go with? I'm having a hard time deciding. Prefer something flat-ish (have shimmed my previous tech...

Thanks kootenayskier.
From Dynafit's official site:
"In downhill mode, the Hoji Free locks out at a forward lean of 11 or 15 degrees thanks to a spoiler at the cuff that can be taken on and off "...

Blister says forward lean is 17 deg

"The Hoji Free comes stock with a stated forward lean of 17°. The other Hoji boots have a...

On my old dynafit radical bindings I used various 3d printed shims under the toe pieces. (I used quiver killer inserts so I was able to play around and swap to shims with different thickness) I...

For those sensitive to toe/heel height differences; the marker alpinist is almost completely flat:

MORE CATS!

Anyone know the stated forward lean on these?

Yup; those exact stilettos were what caused me to start shimming in the first place ;)

Yeah, saw those.
This is just an alternative. Even flatter (slightly) and with fwd/aft adjustability.
Heavier though.

Since I am obviously not the only one concerned about ramp angle:

After I ordered new touring skis yesterday, I have been browsing for new bindings pretty much non-stop :) I am a bit sensitive to...

^ Yeah, couldn't resist anymore. Put in an order last night. BG 108 Tour with 2012 Caylor topsheets.
Now I just have to decide how flimsy to go on the binding side...(?)

Blister's guide has mount point listed for all their tested skis:

https://blisterreview.com/winter-buyers-guide

(184 BG: -9)

Can anyone school me on the various Bibby / Wildcat 118 versions?
I believe the 13/14 and 14/15 editions were slightly wider, more tapered and had a more forward mount(?)

Are all other versions...

12/13, 13/14, 14/15
Not first BG, but the breakthrough design.

15/16
Same as above, but -2cm tail rocker (191cm to 189 etc…)

16/17
Same as above, but with an added straight section...

^ hah, cmon; I'm not going through enough skis to be called out like that :D

Ended last season with BGs (16-17 pre asym) and Liberty Origin 96 as my only in-bounds skis. That will most likely...

rudy, if you are that uncertain, just get some demo bindings.
Lets say you go for a rec mount... even if you like it. No. Even if you love it that way, it sounds like you still would still be...

Perfect! Thank you kid-kapow.

"There's only 1.5cm difference in ee"

That sums it up nicely, thanks!
(won't get mad at any pictures though ;) )

Awesome looking skis!
Is the tip rocker similar, or perhaps a bit bigger on the BG?
Next time you're bored, could you please post a BG/K116 rocker comparison picture? ;)

I bought the SG and W108 for this season.
Your "wren tail issues" are pretty much what I felt as well. I was much happier on the SGs. I ended up selling the wrens, and was planning to get something...

This should be added to the SGs official description IMO.

6/205/stock flex SGs.

I’ve only skied them in decent to awesome snow. They work great in almost all conditions IMO. The only place I struggle is in shallow snow + very narrow + steep; they are...

(in Norwegian though)

Everyone is happy! :)

My immediate reaction is that they feel less substantial than I feared they would. I had a hard time making up my mind between the SG vs the BG. Now that I am finally...

More. MORE!

Did you go for green sidewalls Viva?
I chose the 116 steeple myself for my SG. Decided against the green sidewalls, but now I'm not so sure anymore :P
