RB Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Ok I'm this close to drinking some orange/black or probably the white/black kool aid. After reading this and other threads. Currently on a 2011 68" Strada. Into 38 at 34. Any Goode ski suggestions welcome. How do you do this? " Still ended up on my 9900 Mid after 3 weeks on the Nano and ended up at 29.375 after riding it at 29.50 and 29.25. My next try will be a 65" Mid Nano with NO twist to see if it is faster then my current setup." Are you purchasing all these skis, or do you get to try before you buy? Is there such a thing as an end of year sale at Goode that I should wait for? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted September 22, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 22, 2011 I believe the Nano without the twist is their best ski. I loved the Nano, but the twist put me in the Lake to many times when the lower tip engaged off the apex. Ended up switching to the Sans Rival SR-2 before they offered the Nano without the twist.

KM Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I don't see the "untwisted" version of the Nano on the Goode web site yet. Is this a custom order that you must request? A friend of mine has a Nano without the twist, but his still says "twist" and "Dual Rocker Technology" on the rear of the ski. I ride the twisted version. Best ski I have ever owned. More consistant and my tournament buoy count has increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted September 23, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted September 23, 2011 Joe, I made it out of four last night. I'm figuring out how to turn at 35 now. Skiing with Chad and Charles really helped this week. Not saying I won't fall on my opener at your place, though! LOL Chad set it up for me while we were there. 6.820 jaws(Goode/Dipol flat jaws), 2.500, .720 with slot caliper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted October 7, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted October 7, 2011 Ran 35 for the first time last night and got 1 1/2 at 38. I've been averaging 2 at 35 in practice. Tonight, Charles grabbed my ski and put the wing at 10 degrees and said "trust it". Went down on my opener at 22 because I was all of a sudden able to move on the ski, so I found myself testing the limits and found them at 5 ball. LOL. Then ran straight up through 35 and into 38. Gave up the handle to early in the headwind and plastered myself on the buoy at 2. LOL So that's an increase in my practice pb of 6 buoys since getting on the Fire 6 weeks ago.

Baller Boody Posted October 7, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 7, 2011 Great skiing! What a feeling huh? My wife is on the Fire and her skiing has taken a significant step in the right direction. May have to put her wing at 10 and see what it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ The_MS Posted October 7, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted October 7, 2011 Shane gets to be coached by Muller weekly and could be running 35 on a CR7 by now. It is the skier not the ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ The_MS Posted October 7, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted October 7, 2011 There are exceptions in your case. Not all skis are the same. 3 Mids side by side may all not work but 1 of them will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ForrestGump Posted October 10, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted October 10, 2011 Ended up at 29 inch to back of front binding and 17 inch to back binding. Puts me at a 12 inch spacing. At the recommended 29.25, the tip just bit too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jipster43 Posted October 11, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hey Jim! Wasn't your first time on the Fusion at The Last Blast? I'm glad to hear it's getting high marks compared to the Nano and the Strada. I've always been partial to Kidders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jlittle Posted October 11, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 11, 2011 JP - those were rides 4 - 6 on the Fusion. Rides 5 - 7 behind ZO this year (sorry, couldn't resist). Ride 1 was a test ride. Rides 2 & 3 were actual sets two days before the tourney. So far liking what I feel but it will have to continue next year. Strada was a good ski and I skied it for 2 full seasons. I did have some consistant off side issues but it is the first Herb design (I guess Rossi & camp) I could ski on decent. That ski actully has made a big difference performance wise for many people I know. Anyway, looking forward to seeing, & possibly skiing, with you next year. Take care.

Baller jipster43 Posted October 11, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 11, 2011 Jim - I was pretty stoked to be at a tournament and watching folks such as yourself running into and beyond 38 off. It was even cooler to find that the best skiers were also the nicest folks. Next year I hope to make it to every tournament within a 700 mile radius that my wife agrees to!

Baller ForrestGump Posted October 11, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted October 11, 2011 Jim Thompson, that made me laugh. Charles strapped on some 20 yo Obrien wally combo skis and took a poke at the ramp one day. Bring two fires and we'll film you going over. :) Don't worry, I've got a football helmet you can use.
