The theoretical narrow protest/arg/dps 138 gangrush praxis thread

**kidwoo** · 01-30-2012, 09:39 AM

Keith got the only good ski shot from the day I think. I should have borrowed his camera while running him up on the sled. My 7D shit the bed the day before and I'm not so good at the point and shoot operations.

This was the first few hundred feet before I gave up on the crust

Here's the crappy shot I got of Keith ruling the shit conditions.

But anyway.....they got skied. Everyone outside of tahoe is going to have to figure out how they work on even halfway decent snow. Neither one of us have anything negative to say about them so far.

Come on, you could write a sweet review on their traversing capabilities.

**kidwoo** · 01-30-2012, 10:47 AM

Their sidestepping abilities are amazing.

Seriously the cleanest sidestepping I've ever done.

(Man, I haven't even had a chance yet to announce that we're taking the Hoji. 14 pairs of skis total, definitely some cool stuff.)

I hope they shipped yesterday. I had a dream about the damn things last night.

Let me guess, it was the exclamation point that gave it away?

How many skis have YOU personally been involved with the development of in the last year?

I'm mad with power right now bru!

You can't trust me with shit for at least another month!

**bouguer** · 02-02-2012, 12:02 PM

How 'bout them skis? Is today the day?

**kidwoo** · 02-02-2012, 12:14 PM

You still waiting on a shipping notice?

What size?

**bouguer** · 02-02-2012, 12:26 PM

187. They only have to get to Reno.

Should we have our shipping notices by now? I'm not being impatient just wondering, cuz I don't have one either.

**bennettc14** · 02-02-2012, 12:49 PM

Still waiting on my shipping notice as well. Where the 187s and 196s finished at the same time?

hmmm

I asked because the 187s were a much bigger order and that's what he was working on first. I would have thought those would be going out now.....at least some of them.

I have nothing to do with the ordering process but I'll see if I can find out what's up.

**bouguer** · 02-02-2012, 01:18 PM

no rush here until the snow comes. though there was a fresh 3 inches of snow at alpine yesterday...

Same here, not busting anyone's balls. No rush, just excited.

**Ted Striker** · 02-02-2012, 02:34 PM

Patience preacher, we'll get you to the church on time.

FWIW I haven't seen a shipping notice either, but then again, I don't have a functioning left knee right now after my accidental 20 foot huck to flat... backwards, so I'm not in much of a hurry.

**bouguer** · 02-02-2012, 05:54 PM

To aid in the excitement, check out the flickr feed here with all kinds of wootest pics.

**Ted Striker** · 02-02-2012, 06:35 PM

WOOOOOHOO!

Are they all going to have the Yoohoo yellow bases?

Complete with hippy hook.

**kidwoo** · 02-02-2012, 06:40 PM

Where did you get that photo?

Wait till you see the edgework involved in that skin clip notch. It's friggin gorgeous craftsmanship.

Keith just put up on facebook that the 187s should start shipping tomorrow. He must have had a few stragglers.
