FS: 191 Billygoats

[tuco]

LVS BillyGoat hookup rules:

-If you're a Jong, don't bother trying to scoop an established mag.
-if you wish to fast track un-Jonging yourself, visit your local BBI franchise or make sure to spend the bulk of your posting ski stoke, trip reports and pleas to ullr. If you have a thousand posts in gearswap but have never posted ski stoke, you're still a Jong.
-sellers may give BillyGoats to whomever is most worthy, not whoever says "dibs".
-prospective buyers should post in here desired length, layup and model year. Additionally buyers should provide BSL.
-speaking of bsl, don't be that dipshit who drills a ski 4x, rendering it useless. If a set of BillyGoats won't work with your bsl with redrilling a third or fourth time, maybe wait until a pair that does comes along. Have some respect for the goats.

Speaking of which, BillyGoats should only be mounted with Look Pivot/FKS or Salomon Driver bindings. If you plan on mounting them with marker royal family or tyrolia peak bindings, a severe and swift punishment, to be determined by the larger community will be dealt upon you. (And, I know those are the best demo bindings, so ON3P gets a pass.)

I'm mounting adrenalin 16's on my SG's.
Are we gonna have problems?

So if a Jong sells a BG to a mag does that contribute towards un-jonging? This is all very confusing.

I could see this happening. You holding?

No, un-jonging is not as important as BGing, least to me, but might be useful to other jongs looking for the fast track to magness.

I mean...props for integrity. Not sure of integrity contributes to your un-jonging, but your priorities are in order at least.

Did you ski those 191 wrens yet? Those things are fast AF. Missiles really, that still have enough tip rocker for a slight ease of turn initiation. If you like those a ton, you might like the stiff Supergoats. The deeper the snow, SG’s will get a lot more surfy and slashy. They just need a similar speed to Wrens, and then they come alive like no other. Most skis this burly and more traditional sidecut skis cannot surf like Supergoats can in deep pow. Supergoats can surf and are “snappy” in their ability to change direction, like a full rocker ski, or like a softer ski (K2 Obsethed). Except Supergoats are significantly faster everywhere besides deep moguls (moguls deep enough to be un-straight-line-able).

Those wrens I sold you still work well in steep and deep though, they just carve a bit more, instead of surf. Just hit the gas pedal. They like slightly more speed than SG’s in deep, but then they float very well. Right up their with 191 Katanas, which I actually rate very good float.

That being said, the newer Wren 108s are amazing too. I dont know how a ski could get any more predicable. Predictability equals fun IME. It allows me to try new airs on the hill. W108s seem to do everything well. So far, they seem to be as good as Praxis Rx, and K2 Shreditor 112s (ends of flex spectrum) in terms of versatility, in skis I have tried. One ski quiver type skis that almost excel across the board.

Next year, anyone who picks up a set of wrens (pick your poison, 96/108/114), and a set of BG/SG/C&D’s, should have an amazingly versatile, directional inbounds charging 2 ski quiver.

Haven’t been able to get them on snow yet, can’t wait though. They’ll get a lot more work next season for sure. Planning a couple Heli trips so that will be fun.

I’ve seen this so many times I’m legit thinking of getting a pair

Anyone want to see if Elon Musk will put a pair in space? Given the demand? Plus Big Sky Brewing would already have a beer to commemorate!

Changing boots. BG’s mounted once with Pivots with little room for adjustment..

Do I sell BG’s or remount?

Test new boots first. It’s 50/50 they’ll work with the existing mount IME.

Going from 315mm BSL to 326mm. In pivots. Idk if they’ll fit

Pivots are 5 mm at best any more starts to effect release
also width for heel dropping in if moving down.

Therefore since I’m 310 you have to consider me first

Also would move the midsole position back 1.1cm correct?

Even if bindings fit, I don’t wanna be 1cm back on RES. I have heard it’s not the best idea.

My bsl is 316, send them to me for a direct comparo to the SG.

It’s one that has to be on the line

incorrect.

1.1/2= 0.55cm back if the toe stays put. 0.5cm = YER DOOMED.
