Self Serving DownSkis Spamation:196 cm Countdown 114 Request

[Buster Highmen]

Price for backers/voters is the same as presale pricing.

You're helping us finance a new length, so of course you'll be rewarded for it.

Thanks for your help in spreading the word and increasing our lineup!

I like the profile you're making with the Countdown - just a little rocker and more or less flat camber. I think a number of other brands have gone overboard with rocker that impacts versatility. Plus, the width is tuned for versatility as well - wide enough for deep days but narrow enough to use as the 'go to' plank.

So......thank you for listening, thinking and, most of all, acting.

Now, can you do anything about the availability of awd diesel station wagons with a stick in N. America?

[Buster Highmen]

Get the blue ones?

I know this to be disingenuous. You're all about the red ones. Fess up.

Start importing second hand from Norway. New taxes on diesel and emissions are sending prices into the ground. Probably still 3x the US price...

[Buster Highmen]

Not allowed; the Safety Nazis in the Bureau of Automtive Pinchbuttery require crash testing for any model brought in.
Alas.

Blue is the new red in this case.

Izzat a suitcase, a legal case or a lawsuit?

And in case you missed it, SiSt posted in the other thread that the special order prices will be the preseason sale prices for the first 25 pairs of skis coming off the ski request hotline.

Hey Geo and SiSt

Good luck with your 196s, Buster, and my apologies for the thread drift.

The 187cm version will be about 2,4/2,45kg per ski. Dimensions same as the 202, "radius" goes down to about 40m.

Black is the new black. I think 17/18 will be black with highlight colors on the CD series.

[oftpiste]

I like the blue. Please.

[Buster Highmen]

Black with minimal yellow highlights. Like the old VR17.

Good to see some momentum for some longer planks.

All time favorite ski list and the 1st gen 27 is my favorite in the 207. We will get to work on the double torsion box and cracked edges too

I have a pair of these vr27 sl in the garage, circa 1986.


The earlier graphics were more discreet.





Then the post Lange influence

^^^bump^^^
Up to 36%. Give this some thought. For roughly $550US a light, well built carbon pow ski.

Full price is 514E.

Request price is 389E=430$ for the first 25 backers (100% financing).

[Buster Highmen]

Thanks for the correction; $430 US is a ridiculously good price.

[Buster Highmen]

^^^^ bump.
We've got 10 folks signed up; need 15 more.

Ask around of those of longer shank if they want a custom carbon pow ski for $430US.

[Buster Highmen]

Monday bump. Up to 11 people now. Need a few more people who like a ski over 190cm.
