My new skis

[Savemeasammy]

that's what I want to do.
Most of my skis preform well on the hard pack. Especially MR-87 but by no means I consider them as a hard pack dedicated skis.

so far my thoughts: Smaller rocker in the tip, flat tail, camber. Definitely tighter turn radius compare to 87's

I like this, Mishka. I think a cambered ski would be much more lively in the bumps, and I'm a fan of the flat tail. Having a small amount of rocker in the tip might help turn initiation for some. Maybe you should consider using proportions that are more like the F17 classic rather than the World Cup. I find that my skis are pretty responsive on hardpack, and carve a decent turn when you set them on edge.

I'd love to try it when you make it!

I think this will be a good starting point 125-84-115 177cm

Pretty much the exact dimensions of my Fischer Motives.

126-84-114

I wish I could have tried the two skis I demo'd on hard pack and groomers to drive them a little more. There was a lot of corn that day we were at Killington and they did great then. I skied Superstar with them and I though they handled the bumps pretty well.

This new design looks to have a nice sidecut combined with some rocker which should make it turn nicely.

I been thinking ... because it's hard pack dedicated overall wight not that important. Also to stay within close proximity of MR87 dimensions 120-80-110 will be much better. Compare to 87's 119-87-107

MR100 you tried optimized for better soft snow performance. MR87 handle hard pack equally well

progress on new build MR-80.
Somewhat more traditional looks and shape.
compared to other builds New tip shape and new smaller size rocker lowrise as before, a lot more sidecut

even this picture of the template two-dimensional it much better view of how the ski going to looks compare to picture of the drawing or even full-size printout

especially with new core construction they will go through anything and not being pushed around

Very nice looking sticks mishka, are they RCR? Or more traditional?

 

[mishka]

thx

Yes it's rocker camber rocker but my tips low rise with continuous curvature compared to "traditional" rocker. I think it should be picture somewhere in previous pages, or you can look on Facebook

tin wanted camber so I made it. Last year skis had zero camber

Got new bindings and a protune done up on my 110s. These skis were making for some good times last winter, my daily driver. Had a binding rip out but I think it was the mount from the shop maybe. Heli coils and epoxy and im all good. I'll continue to try to break these skis, last year at kirkwood was fucking bony and I imagine this year there may perhaps be more snow.

 

[mishka]

Glad to hear you're back on track with them. I also need binding installed new skis and to do tune on most of the skis

Thanks for a great afternoon Mishka. Learned a ton about your production and your passion is contagious. Can't wait to take those 110s out for a spin.
Anyone looking for straight custom planks need to check out the MR Customs!
Tin I'm jealous !!!
