Starting to see more skis under 80 in the market where the real skiers thrive 😂.

Like the '76' under foot' . . . Keep up the good work . . . . THANKS

So you are reviewing the Q7.8, not the Q7...got it

I'm not a Rossignol guy but I appreciate this great review!

Too bad they don't sell their addikt line in North America, those really seems to stand out

Honestly not a fan of the pivots. Hard to get on in powder and often develop play in the binding. Spx always gives a firm snap and always feels rock steady!

I wish Marshall did all the talking. Let the expert from Head talk instead of cutting in with useless comments.

Would you put that S/10 in a similar category as a Kastle MX 75? Soudmnd similar on paper. Mid 70s, not really race inspired. Little bit of versatility.... Put them in the cage!

Very much enjoy your review videos and the variety of skis you profile… Could you look at your audio as the volume has to be ramped up to hear the presenters, but with that comes the background music loop which dilutes the audio… There is such a distinct difference in audio volume when you shift to the guest outros and their audio is always louder. Looking forward to more videos for sure 👍

It is one of my all time favorite skis! I bought my own pair so I wouldn’t have to rassle Tricia for them!

Good point...i assumed this was a tweener ski for intermediates. Would like to see a cage match against the Stance 84. (Also great in the bumps)

Great review! Food for thought for my son and daughter's next ski. Thanks and I like that Tan jacket with hood Tricia.

Thansk a lot for review! Does the radius (Magnum 177 - 14,3) really feels the same? How is it possible with the different tip/tail and the same width under foot..?

if the width of my ski is 106, the bindings of 115 would be good for me?

I do know where my 10mm socket is right now.

Best topsheet in the industry. It looks like this ski could be good in the bumps. Is it?

Price?

I absolutely love my Deacon 84's (182cm), here in New England mid 80's under-foot is a great daily driver width. I think it actually has a wider operating range on-trail versus the Kendo 88 because the Deacon 84 is superior on firmer conditions while also being good in softer conditions. K88 obviously has the edge off-trail and in bumps. I see far too many skiers on wide (95-105mm) skis and they never really go off-trail, I think they'd have more fun on a narrower ski.

This channel deserves more views and followers.! We appreciate that you do it for the love of the sport, not the clicks

I’ve had 2 pairs of Titans. Enjoyed skiing them but they delaminated.

I been on the Supershape train since 2008...Head SS...there is no substitute

I love Head skis. My wife and daughter love the Joy's. I have the Magnum and my son has the Shape 10. I am very interested in this improved line. Could go e-Original or Titan. Will have to think on this. Thanks for the great review.

My e-Rally’s are very versatile! Love them!

Quite a bit of tail rocker for a 78. I cant think of any other 78s with that much tail rocker. Very interesting. Any direct comparisons you can think of? Also tail is pretty tapered, but then goes flat at the end. Seems pretty unique

Would you say day the 80 is the better choice forba smaller advanced skier? 5'5 160 lbs...I've had mixed results with carving skis. Love Mx 75, but didn't get along as well with the k2 disruption series and the older Vantage

Love Deb Armstrong.

Great video great info… The constant music going in the background gets a little tough to listen to

My daughter needs some new skis. I will keep these in mind. They are right in her fun zone.

Can't decide between these or the Shaggy Brockway 80 or Ahmeek 85. 70 yrs old, midwest hardpack/ice , fall line and of course, spring sking

Interesting ski. I like the graphics. It's starting to get to the width I'm looking for. I like that it's a good option for bumps. Great review. Thanks

I like that you mentioned that the tip and tail are S-Werks inspired. Looks like a fun groomer ski.

Audio is on the quiet side but other than that good video.

Thanks Phil! We're excited how they turned out!

Can you provide the Last for all models, especially the MV in 27.5? Thank U****

I just bought some Montero AX's with Strive 13D's but haven't mounted yet. Is there a way to eliminate the "demo" portion of the binding before mounting?

Looking to get a Look binding and want the pivot binding and ski on a low DIN around 8 as a advance skier ⛷️ thinking about the 15 any thoughts

Great info. Thanks

Nice job..

I hate to sound so focused on color/graphics, but that turquoise blue Ranger 84 is really nice.

Can you elaborate on the differences in handling, feel, or skill (not the physics of waist width)? You said they handle quite differently relative to their similar specs on paper? If you already owned either the Kenja 88 or Secret 96 (and love it) are these skis different enough to warrant owning both? Or is it just not worth it to buy two of the "same ski", given that the breadth of options in the 88 mm and 96-98 mm space?

In the 1980's I had some Dynamic VR27 SL skis with Look 99 RS bindings with the back facing brake on the toe. I credit those skis and binding combo in really progressing my skiing. They were a fantastic ski/binding setup in those days and I'm amazed to see the pivot style binding is still around these days. I'm skiing Salomon Shift's these days for a bit of back/side country touring or System Markers. So I think you could do a backcountry/alpine version of the Look pivot like Salomon Shift or Marker Duke.

This is amazing, it should have more views! Or only so many people thinking about skiing in the summer.

I've heard from one of my local ski shop that I had to put some kind of plate on the ski in order to mount the spx bindings. Is that true? Or can I just mount the SPX straight on the ski without any plate?

Great conversation! I loved the comment about shaped skis allowing the older gen to ski at a much higher level. Last year the snow was virtually unskiable on a very steep pitch. The skis would not slide. I must have done 30 jump turns to get down. I don't miss that even a little bit. Keep up the great content.

On the old pivot 1.0 when lengthening the arms to fit a longer boot, what is an unsafe length?? How much of the 3rd hatch mark should show? Cheers

After watching this video I bought a pair of pivot.

The downside of demo bindings being tall in stand height almost seems like it could be a benefit for performance carver skis under 80mm, where having additional leverage is a benefit. Hard to tell what exactly the difference is between flat skis mounted with modern demo bindings and my Blizzard Thunderbird R13 with Marker TPX track system bindings, which seems like a hybrid of a race plate and a demo binding. For something a little less stiff and performance oriented than the Thunderbird, something like the high stand height Tyrolia bindings sound potentially more ideal than the retail binding in the same lineup. This video may be focused on demo bindings, but this is also just a great comparison of the four big binding manufacturers. I have a 2011 K2 Rictor with one of those early Marker Griffon demo bindings, and it definitely seems like demo bindings have come a long way. The older Griffons were noticeably heavier, taller, and had a noticeable rattle that wasn't as confidence-inspiring as the newer Look, Marker, and Salomon/Armada demo bindings I tried in demos the past season. The Tyrolias also sound like they'd be great. That said, I really like what Look is doing with its regular retail SPX binding. That sounds like the best compromise, where I get a standard retail binding experience, but if I really want to lend a ski to a friend for a day, being able to adjust the heel would be just fine. I feel like the approach to adjustability with the Look SPX will suit most people interested in demo bindings for their own personal skis.

Would the e Race Pro be appropriate for the Downhill event? I am mature years now, and I started at boy age 8, taken to Arosa from America for a private teacher. Then, wood ski's were heavy, and stiff. And, even with boots, I tight wrapped "long thongs" at the ankles. Then, I got Head's. The were not that stiff, but they were light. Actually, I do not Vedelin - slalom. I started at Stem Kristi and stayed at it. The only thing I want is the long cruise, "Tuck", on the Bankings. Of course, your edges are your only Bankings sometimes. I don't do jumps. They don't do jumps at Daytona, for example. So, I would sculpt a new mountain: Long Line 2 - 3 miles; Bankings; opens; "Deer Runs"; not super sheer. Insurance required.

I got to test the trail before it was done

Good video. The background music is distracting.
