Much better than on hard snow.

I agree. That kind of bombing down the slopes should not be allowed. Besides, he is testing an all mountain ski on a groomed run. Like taking a SUV on a formula 1 track. That ski not meant to do that, and you can tell that by the way the tips get off track and the difficulties he has pointing them in any one direction. He wants to go one way, the skis go somewhere else. That ski is meant for moderate speeds and through powder, trees, all mountain. I don't even understand why people are skiing groomed runs. Add the speed and they are all set for disaster.

that's cause it's a large

@@banneduser978 there's literally a giant M in the dead middle of the helmet lol

@@Bromag118 that's the magnetic design 😆 🤣

Im looking for helmets that are not gigantic as well. But Im a total noob do you know any other helmets w visors thats kind of on the smaller size? So far I liked the SMITH Core or Maze but you have to get goggles for those.

The Redster X9i is a limited edition version of the X9 & has a slightly different construction. 👍

It's a wider ski & has different characteristics. The 72 is a more performance piste dedicated ski.

Hi There, It's a great ski, for an intermediate it's quite a lot of ski. However, if you want them & are mostly on piste then go shorter. If you want them for all mountain/freeride then go longer. It skis shorter than it looks, but if you're skiing mostly on piste there are better options in the Black Crows range 👍

We know, we have limited time/conditions on each ski we can test. No doubt it's a mega freeride ski, but when you get the harder conditions it's great to know it still bombs around the mountain & makes you smile 😊

170 we believe 👍

Unfortunately Snow conditions during the test are what they are. This at least gives someone looking at these skis a good idea of how they perform when the conditions off-piste aren't great, which in Europe is increasingly so.

..if you add the fact that his skiing level is a total flop then what a cherry review we got here 🤡🤡🤡

For heavier riders this is a powerful ski that will give good stability.

What Graham means here is that for what he's skiing right now, conditions wise, this Ski is one of the best in his opinion. Thanks for watching :)

@@winterinsight If that's what Graham means, then I would suggest that he should say so and be clear what he means. Even then, if it's mainly firm on piste conditions he is skiing (as it appears to be the case in the video), would a narrower race carver (something like 76mm underfoot) be a better option ? 84 mm underfoot is more of a wide all mountain ski, just saying.

He states at the end his personal view, at the beginning he is quoting the brand's claim. If you can only have 1 ski to do it all, they claim it's the best in the world. Graham simply agrees it's a great ski for varied terrain. Best in the world, as you suggest, is subjective. However, Volkl claim it's the best Ski in the world if you have to choose 1 ski to do it all, not Graham. Sure, purely on piste a narrower ski might be better unless you want a ski for varied Snow conditions etc. On this test we can only test the Skis in the conditions we have at the time. 84mm is maybe all mountain for Europe, for North America is considered more Piste focused as an example.

@@winterinsight Thank you, you have now brought up the various nuances in ski testing that a good reviewer should highlight in a review, conditions in which the ski is designed for, what are the compromises inherent in ALL ski designs, what are the strengths and weaknesses in a ski, local preferences in ski width (NA vs Europe as you have pointed out), none of which were covered in the video as far as I can tell. What I saw was 'Volkl says this is the world's best ski (which is an absurd claim to begin with)' and 'hey I really like it, it's a great ski' after skiing it on a couple of groomed runs.

I think this ski is best in the world for me.

If you check out Oakley's website they should have details on when the Helmet will be released :)

Released. Just picked one up off of Oakley SI

It's coming!

No, but i can see your thought process. The Pivot has a turntable heel & is a great system. This binding has 2 separate rear release points & designed specifically to reduce ACL injuries. This has been tested & stacks up against all bindings as the safest for your knees :)

This Helmet is available later this year, in time for the next Winter Season!

Thanks Denis, it is!

Wonderful!
