Back to more on topic... So we've seen a couple skis that will LOOK great with the Pivot orange/yellow fade.
Any other contenders for consideration??? :huh: :popcorn:

@Philpug So with the show now behind us, what were your takeaways and observed reactions over the course of the show/slope testing from the industry folks as a whole regarding the Forza fade Pivots??? :popcorn:

Of course we were looking at this through Forza colored glasses but IMHO and seeing that other publications were giving the binding awards, I am confident that the responses were overwhelming positive. Look had the display front and center so it was obviously somethiing that they were very proud of. At the on snow, it was also brought up to us how good it looked. As far as the 15, that was also brought up and that we need to keep fanning that flame...so we will.

Not specific to these bindings, but I really dislike the Look/Rossi bindings of this style. At high DINs (i.e. 10), these are a pita to just open. I have bent one pole and broke another, so far... am I missing some special technique here?

Luckily I only have them on only one pair of skis!

Before we go any further, you are pushing back towards the tail instead of down, yes?

No, I spotted these on ebay. Did you notice they are dated 10-26-17. Not sure where the seller got them as I have not seen any other Forza's for sale anywhere yet.

That is kind of odd.

The date falls just barely within the recall dates. Could be stolen goods.
