    190 Volkl Explosiv 1, 179 Praxis RX

    I’ll post pics tonight price police feel free to chime in.

    Mint 190 Explosiv 1. One mount bases have one small scratch, edges and tops good. Not sure what a fair price is for these. They have been sitting and it’s more ski than I want.

    179 RX 1 mount for pivots 300mm bsl in descent shape flex 4. Thinking $200 plus shipping.

    If ski companies didn't make new skis every year I wouldn't have to get new skis every year.

    A low-priority request, just for science...

    If you have spare time, I would love a straight tape measurement of the length of your Explosivs. I have a much newer 2005 Explosiv 190cm which measures only 185.9cm with straight tape...and I've always wanted to confirm my theory that the older Explosivs measure 2-3cm longer than that.

    Thanks!

    This 2.1cm difference (between older square-tail "190's" and newer square-tail "190's") supports the theory that the OG square-tails were long, then they changed the Wizards/Zeus(or is it Thor?) by making the tail a rounded semi-twin---and then after that, when they changed back to a square-tail, I guess they just "chopped off" that rounded semi-twin in the molds, which made the newer square-tail "190" Explosivs shorter by 2.1cm.
