Head Black Jack 80

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:10:45 -0500

The Head Black Jack 80 is a pair of skis designed for park & pipe use. They are great for intermediate skiers who just want to go to a fun park and do freestyle and tricks. The snake skin top sheet is combined with a UHM base, and a heavy duty twintip construction to allow the consumer to pull those tight turns and rough landings. They are not the fastest skis available since they are built for tricks instead of speed. The Head Black Jack 80 comes in four different lengths: 154, 163, 172, and 181. It has a radius of 19.1 at the 172 length and a sidecut of 112/79/106 at the 172 length. The pair of skis only comes in white and uses a HEAD Mojo 11 binding that comes in matt black and silver. The Head Black Jack 80 is not the most expensive pair of skis available, partially because they are not designed with experts in mind.

Atomic D2 VF 72 Sport

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 22:42:11 -0500

The D2 VF 72 Sport are skis from Atomic’s 2009/2010 piste lineup. The “D2” is an abbreviation for double deck, where “VF” is an abbreviation for vario flex. Vario flex refers to the ski’s densolite core, which has been constructed to allow the ski to automatically adjust to the speed and style of the skier. The “72” refers to the waist width, which is naturally thinner than similar 82 models in Atomic’s double deck product line. Between the individual decks lies an elastomer layer which reacts to pressure. When the skis are stressed the elastomer stiffens, therefore increasing stability while giving the rider better overall control on the slopes. This technology allows for increased maneuverability at low speeds, and can assist with acceleration out of turns. As the Sport model, these skis have added flair in the form of a styled black and red design.

The “82” refers to the waist width, which is naturally wider than the similar D2 VC 72 Black model. The more pressure applied to the ski, the wider the front and rear section will become. The D2 VC’s radius has the ability to become smaller by up to 6 meters in shorter turns – the normal difference between a slalom and a giant slalom ski. Atomic claims the D2 VC is the first ski which allows novice skiers to achieve perfect carves regardless of the ski’s radius. This pair of skis is available in one color; black with red accents.

Atomic D2 VF 70 White

Sun, 20 Dec 2009 23:01:27 -0500

The D2 VF 70 White are skis from Atomic’s 2009/2010 piste lineup. The “D2” is an abbreviation for double deck, where “VF” is an abbreviation for vario flex. Vario flex refers to the ski’s densolite core, which has been constructed to allow the ski to automatically adjust to the speed and style of the skier. The “70” refers to the waist width, which allows quicker edge changes when compared to thicker models. Between the individual decks lies an elastomer layer which reacts to pressure. When the skis are stressed the elastomer stiffens, therefore increasing stability while giving the rider better overall control on the slopes. This technology allows for a more flexible response through long turns and increased agility through short turns.
