That article would be considered blasphemy over on Epic.

Carving is and putting a ski on edge is blasphemy over on Epic! Let me qualify that, they put a ski on a lot of edge when it's across the falline at the end of the turn, but never get an angle above the falline.

He has an interesting series on youtube right now about what you can learn about a ski just from looking at it. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfvKzY ... R7uqMcOsEg

h.harb wrote:The Rev 85 is a ski that you already need to know how to tip and engage with before you can really maximize your experience with it. The Rev 80, is more versatile, especially in bumps and short turns. We carry the Rev 80 for that reason. Both are good skis, but the 85 behaves more like a wide ski whereas the 80 has more bit on the front side of the mountain. The 80 is still a great powder ski and fun in crud, but you can also ski it in bumps without being spit out. The 80 also tips up on edge much easier for a short brushed and even carved turn.

Wouldn't you know ... just the info I was looking for. I wanted something to complement the TT800 ... If I can't find one around here I might just be ordering from you. What are you asking for it?

After reading all of Jackson's blog entries and watching his RealSkiers TV youtube videos I have to say that I'm really impressed. I had not heard of him before, but he seems to be quite knowledgeable and really grounded as compared to the hype crazy ski zealots that are out there. His writing style/ability is off the charts and his delivery in the videos is quite polished. He's definitely the best thing to happen to the RealSkiers site in many, many years.

"Front side of the mountain??" What is that? Groomed slopes, no bumps??
