    It's been a while since I was on a Goode, but I am intrigued by the Revolution. Stupid question. Do Goode skis come with inserts these days?

    Is the Syndicate Omni available to buy anywhere? Both sites I know of sya it is on back order.
  3. thrix
    I guess we should start calling the edge "syndicate hardshell"
  4. thrix
    the binding is???? a mix of edge and reflex?
  5. thrix
    is he coaching anywhere specific, laymen can visit? I would be interested.

    Is this the exact same system HO will put on the market by end September?

    Still can't understand the real purpose of this,plastic piece. Doesn't solve any problem that I am aware of.
  8. thrix
    It is not very obvious from the video how the release mechanism works.

    @LakeOneSkier legit questions, but getting clear answers ... unlikely. A marketing warm soup.

    @Wish who knows. We will have to take a close look to figure out the details of the system. The other thing that is not obvious is in what way the R-Style rear is better integrated as they claim.

    I think there is still a bar behind the cup.

    Got hold of one MC 16 and today I tried it. I bought it. After just a couple of sets I think it is the best ski I have ever been on. More sets will prove that right or wrong. I was in total control and stable without feeling like I have a tanker under my feet. Fast stable and agile at the same time. A first for me!

    I like it too, but I have a few ??? in my head. How easy is it for this thin piece of metal to bend? If it bends it bends big/visibly? or is it slightly deforming with every set and then one fine day you find yourself in a beautiful pre-release situation? How fast does that day come? In other words, how robust is the product and how do we know it? How many people and for how long have tested it? I read that the plastic part is 3D printed. Hmm, unless they have a kick ass super expensive printer the polymers used in 3D printing are not super durable. Bottom line, I am sceptical liek I am with all new binding systems.

    I think we are overreacting here. Let's wait and see if the product is good or not. If it is we will for sure buy it, if not then not. Who cares about the marketing campaign? These are small waterski equipment companies focused on their product, it is not as if they had an army of marketeers behind. At least that's the way I see it. Boycotting the site because we don't agree with a marketing campaign? Come on!

    Reflex with thick intuition liners and R-style rear.
  16. thrix
    @lcgordon well, that's not possible even if someone could see something because it is not available to buy yet. Let's wait. I tried the supershell 1.0 and returned it after a couple of hard crashes during the same set.

    I used to jump on every single new binding system that was coming out. I learned my lesson the hard way. I have skied on them all, but bondings is not an area I want to experiment anymore. This system looks promising, but I'll wait and see.

    Does anyone know the difference between the black and the white versions? It seems both are out there.
  19. thrix
    That's strange. I have the same setup and the two plates are almost touching each other. My R-style is one size smaller than the front boot though.
  20. thrix
    White cuff all the way, at least for me. I believe it is safer. Some others don't like it though, but I am not sure why.
  21. thrix
    Try the R-Style from Reflex before going to RTP. Easier transition from double bindings.
  22. thrix
    @Howa1500 not directly related to the topic, but I notice that the distance between your two bindings is kinda big. I used to ski like that as well some years back. In my mind I was more stable on the ski. When I tried to bring them closer two things happened. a) I started skiing better, a lot better b) I started falling less frequently, a lot less.

    @richfoster you have a message.
  24. thrix
    @skidawg thanks. I checked it out but it is a 65. Too short for me.

    I also sent a couple of emails to Boris without reply. I guess the guy is super busy these days. I am trying to figure out how to buy this ski, but it is not obvious. The online shop offers shipment to the US and Korea only. If you live in Europe ???
