Baller_ lpskier Posted November 24, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted November 24, 2019 @ALPJr I said the 12th. I didn’t specify a month. That’s a KLP joke. Seriously, I’m not sure when the ski will be released and I have not skied on one yet. Kris recently moved his mfg. facility to LaPoint Ski Park. He’s a bit hampered by an inability to test his own product due to a torn quad tendon, the second one in three years. There have been a handful of people that have skied on the prototype ski shown in the above photo this month and so far the feedback is very positive.

Baller aupatking Posted November 24, 2019 Baller Share Posted November 24, 2019 @lpskier tell KLP the test center at Tynes’ place is 100% up and running. We'll be happy to put it through a few rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted November 26, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted November 26, 2019 Update: just returned home to FL. The ski is finalized and four finished 67” Skis have been produced. The word is that the ski is “really good.” Can’t wait to try one. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller A_B Posted March 16, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 16, 2020 I rode The Pulse for a while, which was a Lapoint design and my friend had the other Lapoint ski back in the day, I just forget what it was called. Kris actually modified a KD ski for me by splitting the ski from the tail to about under the front plate and added some width from tail to middle of the ski. It helped the tip to stay down more in the turns. I still have that ski stuffed away somewhere. Kris and Bob both knew their stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ lpskier Posted April 27, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted April 27, 2020 @ALPJr Haven’t skied in a month. I got stem cells injected in my ankle, so I’m trying to give my ankle a break.

Baller Orlando76 Posted May 7, 2020 Baller Share Posted May 7, 2020 @ALPJr I might be wrong but it looks like 67’s we’re produced and 66’s are getting ready. 68’s still to come or so I’m pretty certain that’s the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ lpskier Posted June 8, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted June 8, 2020 @Andre Cole is 25 ish. I think he graduated from Florida Southern three years ago. We were talking about the strength of his old college ski team. He remarked that the number 5 men’s skier (that is, the last guy to make the A team) could run 39. It makes the point that if your child is going off to ski in college, pick a school where your child’s ability level meshes with the needs of the team. If you can run 28 on a good day, Florida Southern and the other powerhouse schools might not be the best fit. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Dirt Posted June 13, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 13, 2020 I had one in my hands yesterday but sadly it was a 66. The pro skier that it belonged to had nothing but good things to say about the ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller chris55 Posted June 14, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 14, 2020 @lpskier actually I was asking if "you lpskier" had the opportunity to try the ski yet but I understand that you are waiting for a 68 ski. I was asking because I am 64 and 6'2" and I ski on a T2 and I am very curious to hear about your comment. But hey living outside of the USA, I am not buying a ski this year anyway, so whenever... I am awlways curious about new ski in the line of the Mapple skis, KLP engineering too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted June 14, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted June 14, 2020 @chris55 Gotcha. I’ll keep you posted when I try one but I’ll probably wait until after Nationals at this point. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller coach3 Posted June 15, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 15, 2020 @lpskier Well, I've jacked up my ankle. Had a scope 11 years ago, and now it just is getting swollen skiing reminiscent from the past. Stem cells has my interest. Anything specific I need to know?
