Yessir, the 2025 bent 100s in a 186cm

@@DasYetiSports bet i just got mine how where they in softer snow ?

​@@jwommy10 They're a little stiffer than the previous bent 100s, but in the powpow, they were acting a little narrow (as expected for this category.) They had a decent amount of floatation, but only a little. They did well in the 20 cm but were hella sinking when it was over 40cm in some spots, but that's what you get from a 100 underfoot ski. I think I will make a video going into the skis and how I like them a lot more than the previous bents.

This was filmed about a week and a half ago and with the warmer weather and rain this week it’s all melted at the base

Ikr when I saw the vid I was like dam, I gotta post my footage immediately. I still went up before he posted his video tho 🤷

Agreed

Sorry for the late reply-I haven’t been on KZbin much during the off-season. I really enjoyed the QST Blank, but since I’m not very carving-focused, it suited me well. For you, though, I’d probably recommend the Rustler 11, as it aligns better with your carving and race-ski background due to its slightly stiffer build. If you're having issues with nose-diving, you could try adjusting the mounting point by moving it back a bit; this might help keep the skis up. My friends and I used to do this with demo bindings to ski powder on the same skis when we were starting out. It’s a bit unconventional but can definitely enhance the ski’s performance in certain conditions. Since you're skiing in Whistler Blackcomb, I'd definitely recommend checking out the demo shops on the mountain. Last year, it was $20 to demo as many skis and you would like for the day, and you can experiment with the mounting point on demo bindings before committing to a purchase. Let me know what you end up choosing and how the skis feel!

@DasYetiSports great feedback. Thanks man. Kind of the same read I had on the two skis. That and I prefer a longer radius ski for most applications. My guess is next season salomon updates the blank with a 19 to 21m radius to be more like the X. May move the mount back 1.5cm on my R11 and see before spending the $$$ Didn't realize demos were soo cheap!

First of all I’m humbled, definitely conflicted when I first read this but after reading a couple times and watching the videos more, you were right. I appreciate your honest feedback and encouragement. Comments like this give me the motivation to be a better skiier. Thanks

Meh just play in around with it rn

@@DasYetiSports alr

Glad I could help!

I would probably recommend the 94 but, it also depends on what resorts your skiing. If you were skiing on the west coast I would probably go for the 94 but if you were on the east coast I might go for the 88. Another thing to consider would be what you are doing in the park, whether it be primarily rails or jumps. Or maybe you’re doing mostly in the regular resort skiing where I would go for the wider option. If could get some more information about this kind of stuff I would love to help dial in the right ski for you!

@@DasYetiSports I am Chinese, so I have no ideas of the difference between west and east coast sorry😂(maybe more powder in west and more stiff ice in east? I guess, want to hear your introductions) . Resorts here are more like groomers with shallow powder, some resorts have trees but not that powder. I have a pair of Fischer rc4 sc and I can ski nicely on piste, want to try off-piste skiing and start learning jumps and rails next season. I like 94s more but the only thing I am considering is does the width make it less flexible and quick? Thanks!🥳

Sorry I’m in Canada and we usually refer to the different regions out here as East Coast and West Coast, and I didn’t realize that these videos would go so far. Ya, I mean these are going to be very different from the Fishers and with the added width you lose a decent amount of stiffness. Neither of these skis are really going to be anywhere as stiff as the fishers but for the off-piste and trees they’ll be a lot better. I think I might recommend the 88’s so they don’t totally throw you off with the added width and less stiffness. If you’ve already demoed a pair of skis around that waist width and liked it, I would go for the 94’s. The 88’s in my opinion do better in the park overall (might be a bit easier to learn on compared to the 94’s) but the 94’s will do better in the trees and off-piste!

@@DasYetiSports Thank you a lot! Your reply really helps me a lot! 😆🥳

@@dongchan2373 Your so welcome, I always love to help!🥳

Sorry for any confusion, I was trying to say for a 112 or a powder orientated ski it carves well. This is 100% not a carving ski nor was I trying to give the impression it was (sorry if it came off that way.) Though you would be pretty surprised at how well it did though on the hard pack. As well, my definition of hard pack might be different than yours, I’m skiing on the west coast and what I consider hard pack might not be what you do. Again sorry for any confusion.

Nuh uh 🤫🧏‍♂️

Sorry if I forgot to mention it, I was actually on the 186cm

Could we have your height and weight as a reference?@@DasYetiSports

I’m 183cm and 75kg. I generally like my skis a lot longer than the average Skiier. For this ski, I might suggest going around your height if your using it for a dedicated pow ski or little shorter if your using for a big mountain ski or a wide all mountain ski.

@@DasYetiSportsThanks Man this reference helps me alot im 171cm and was not sure if i should go with the 174cm....

Glad you like them!
