Looking forward to the report!

Looks like Keith just raised the prices on the pre-built skis he has listed. Saved me from impulsively buying another pair. Those veneers in particular look stunning. Now I'm disappointed I cheaped out and went nylon on my two pairs of Praxis haha after seeing all the amazing veneers in this thread and on the website.

I got to fondle a pair of -1 RX earlier. Now I want a pair. Even stock waist RX. Damn.

(If the dude with these getting his skis mounted at bentgate sees this, those are wicked!)

Been thinking about a pair ever since @neckbeard had his -10s built. Then, I forgot about it ;-)

Anybody holding a used MVP? I'm looking for an easy skiing, playful "Everything but the pow day" Wanker Park ski

Length? I'll be selling some 193s. Another mag has shown some interest so I'll let him have dibs but I'll be listing them in the next month or so.

I like long skis but probably too long unless you can convince me otherwise. I think a 188Q is just right and a 184 freeride is a touch short.

Any of my Praxis nerds got anything to say about the Slugger before I buy the one's in GS?

Also, anyone got any interesting 180s 100-110ish options for sale?

Buddy rode a pair as his hard snow ski last winter - loved em. So much so that he plans to ask Keith to build him a UL version for touring.

Second iteration of the compound camber Quixote arrived today. 188cm, flex 3, enduro core, and maple veneer. Changes from the first version are: longer ski, more rocker up front, more exaggerated camber sections, heavier core, and veneer. Was gonna go stiffer but decided to stay at a flex 3 hoping for a bit better suspension through chop. 2180g/ski. Very stoked on the new art.

Plan to mount them +1cm with pivots/cast

those are beauties!

**N1CK.** · 11-21-2021, 10:08 AM

agreed. those are gorgeous.

@flyingskiguy - would you post a side pic showing the rocker/camber profile?

**eskido** · 11-21-2021, 12:46 PM

Yup, sick AF, I’d love to give those a go! Can you also post mount point??

**kid-kapow** · 11-21-2021, 02:00 PM

man, Praxis veneers with graphics are just something else.

Thanks y’all. Here’s the camber profile - twin pockets are visible when skis are compressed flat.

I followed flying's lead from last year and did something similar, but different.

182 Quixote, -10mm build. Enduro+carbon, flex 4

Same camber pockets as his 2020 build. Excited to see if this build works out as well.

**flyingskiguy** · 11-24-2021, 01:20 PM

wow, those look realllly sweet. Love the art choice too. I think the compound camber could be even more suited to the skinny Q. Excited/terrified that someone else was intrigued enough to try it - if you hate em I'd gladly take em off your hands

**GoSlowGoFar** · 11-24-2021, 01:23 PM

Love that graphic, got it on my UL Protests this year on wood grain and doesn't look quite as good as it does on the nylon.

**JayPowHound** · 11-24-2021, 04:05 PM

^^ I love the wall behind them! Is that paint or some kind of adhesive?

Thanks! It's a mural painted by @inklineridge on Instagram of Crystal Mountain ski area in WA. We wanted a centerpiece in our kitchen remodel and this was cooler than buying some pictures off Etsy or whatever.

Ooooohhhh. That’s a hot tip as we’ve wanted something similar. That wall is amazing. Great taste.
