This is my favorite Youtube binge right now. Thanks guys for putting this together. I learn so much on every video, well I should say every ski lol

[superboost]

Ah guys I could listen to these comparisons for hours.
I think a fun one would be a wall of the most outrageous skis out there today, line pescado*, full rocker skis, edgeless skis ect... that would be fun to watch

[Rysander]

Glad I happened on this channel. I moved to Alaska a year ago, and I'm ready to pull the trigger on a set of skis after a year of demos. These videos have been a big help. My top three right now are the Camox, the Justis, and the Enforcer 100.

Watching these videos really drives home how much the ski industry has changed in the past 20-25 years. I remember at one point in the late 90s going so far as to buy snowboard gear because I was so dissatisfied with what the industry was offering us any wider than standard 65-70mm waist width. Funny, all I needed to do was wait for a couple years for the explosion to begin!

[eCommCEO]

Again brilliant work lads! Can’t wait to be able to leave Australia and drop into your part of the world for a ski.

[Freddyskins]

Awesome work again. You guys provide so much more useful detail than other reviewers.

[susieasado]

Yay! I’ve been waiting for this one... you guys are the BEST. Thank you.

[karamazov]

The Line Blade definitely needs to be tried, a mind blowing ski!

[pewpewpew]

Ohhh fancy timeline stamps, this is becoming highend!
Just picked up the menace 98 2021.. with forza 2.0 18s... ohh yes :)

[brendanmontano]

Picked up the menace 98 2021 with pivot 12 bindings. You guys helped a lot. Thank you!!!

[davidborof]

You guys are winning the Internet with your ski reviews, as far as I'm concerned. Again, I especially appreciate the commentary on which of these skis are best in the bumps. A mid 90 makes more sense to me for all mountain, as I have a DPS Cassiar 79 for low-tide (thanks to one of your older reviews! ) . I am lightweight: 135lbs and 5'8.5". Head Kore 93 or Fischer Ranger 94 for the bumps for me?

[davidgarage]

Amazing video!! Love the arv 96, can you do a detailed review on it? Best ski review on YouTube! Thanks a lot

[michaelaldrich]

Hi gentlemen. I’m going from my QST 99 and Elan 84 to a single ski. Ripstick 96 Black sounds interesting. 210 lbs. Intermediate. Mostly on-piste with some goofing around in bowls and a little bit of dipping into trees. 50/50 east and west. Want something fun, but can still grab the ice on the days when Nosedive is scraped off.

[jeffspicoli]

Great reviews. I was hesitating to mount my Stance 96 but after this review, it might be wise to mount em' up for hard groomer days.

[michaelbarry]

13:45. Glad you got a nice ski patrol on your mountain 😂.

[vincentmuggenburg]

Thank you guys. This was the Video i was waiting for. Love your Videos keep giong

[joepalmer]

These reviews are awesome! I’m debating between the Fischer 94FR or the Volkl Blaze 94. Thoughts?

[ItsMinarmy]

Black Crows make a great ski but I always wanted to try the ripstick 👀

[upthegut]

I love your videos guys! One time the question was posed - which would you take? I really think you should ask each other that at the end of every video - it makes for great fun when you as the viewer has 1 or 2 in mind you'd love to have.

[eliwhite]

Can you guys make a rossi black ops line comparison video, outlining the similarities and differences between the whole men’s line? So I can decide which ski to buy in the line.
