WTF even is this thing? A split tail monoski?!

[Full Trucker]

I have questions.

[skuff]

The artwork at the tip of that vehicle seems to suggest something

[AdolfCopar]

I have questions.

Quite weird. How can one ski with this?
Don't shake your head with this awkard thing, instead spend time solving your math questions even when you came here to ski. While solving math equations, it tough to put math symbols on your mobile. don't know about other symbols but typing pi on mobile has been made easy.

[skaredshtles]

That could quite possibly be the dumbest thing Ive ever seen.

And Ive seen some shit, man.

[Vt-Freeheel]

Is that cable on the tails supposed to hook on a rock or stump to pitch you over the front Superman style?

[XXX-er]

what is it so I can buy one cuz it might be good apparently the tele board used to carve like a mofo especialy the 191

[AirheadD8]

You never know when you might run into a Siamese twin vampire that you might have to dispatch.

[N1CK.]

I dunno, looks safe to me !

[N1CK.]

in all seriousness, its a new Heritage Labs proto. you werent supposed to get photos

[Perlhammered]

There's a guy in SoCal that makes those split tail monos, under the name Coda I think. Him and his wife ski them at Big Bear all the time, with trucker-style headsets so they can chit chat while they're riding.

[XXX-er]

when I bought a teleboard I said to whichever one of the Fey brothers I dealt with it will be good to try something different and he said oh you will be different all right, you'll be the anti-christ

Huh. Mystery solved.

Looks crazy, and I don’t understand how it works, but that guy on the website is ripping, so somehow that goofy thing is actually skiable.

[Conundrum]

Until the closing of the 2006/2007 North American ski season, our Ridgecrest, California lab operated under the name of the "Yama Board and Ski Company" which was founded in the 1980s by Michael Lish. Coda president Chad Houck began his association with Yama in 1991 as a monoski customer and began participating in fabrication a few years later. In 2005, Lish worked with Chad to take on Yama production operations with the establishment of a Ridgecrest facility and the launch of internet sales. Increased sales soon pushed production capacity limits, and, in May 2007 plans to improve the Ridgecrest lab coincided with the rebranding of the company and spinning off from Lish with his support:

Yes, pedigree.

[TBS]

^^^yup. Tells you most of what you need to know.

Most recent video of Chad Houck (CEO) riding one on a wide open green groomer is not that impressive. He washes out on a lot of turns and he’s not going that fast

[Dantheman]

So cringe. The biomechanics of mono are just fundamentally wrong. These people are mentally ill.

[Dantheman]

Who's going to step up and try their skis?

[robbo mcs]

There is a guy on my local hill who skis one, absolutely rips. I asked him about it. He has had multiple ACL reconstructions on both knees, with the grafts failing and needing redoing on multiple occasions. That is why he primarily rides the monoski, as his knees are locked together and virtually impossible to get a pivot shift injury. He told me the split tail is supposed to help the tail release in a more controlled way in choppy conditions.

HAHA, huge maggot presence (potentially) in that video. Just inside those trees on skiers right is my favorite smokeshack at Big Sky. And on the exact same day that this video was filmed I was in that shack with skifishbum, BobMc, and happytimefunbox. I’ve been studying this video to see if we show up, sneaking into the woods.

Those monopallooza d00ds had a party at the condo complex next door to mine, so our plan for apres was bong hits at my place then walk over and crash the Monopallooza party. But we got too high and maggots ended up crashing on my sofa and floor.

[XXX-er]

Is the name Lish something to do with skis made in a trailer out of sawdust ? buddy in the vid looks like he is about to fall inwards on everyturn

[TBS]

^^^Yup, after spending 20 years developing monos at Yama/Coda, Lish achieved the pinnacle of ski design and performance with 333Skis.

[plugboots]

More proof that “extreme” is overused clickbait.

[pfluffenmeister]

Oh God!
My eyes!
The attachments are working and I finally saw the actual product.

So much worse than I envisioned.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Just say no, kids.
