Exclusive: 2019 Look Pivot Forza

[Bill Talbot]

What's going on with these at that 'other place' @Philpug ? Have they gotten wind of the release (pun intended)?

 

[Atomicman]

Anybody have or know where I can get some riser plates for a Pivot 18?

 

[Bill Talbot]

So with the big Denver SIA show happening later this week it should be fun to see some reaction in the LOOK booth to the Forza inspired pivots!
@Philpug be sure and send us lots of pix from ground zero

How big a team have you gathered for both the show and the on slope testing this year? Details please!!!

Can we start a bring back the MRR campaign now? I always thought those were cooler.

Which version of the MRR are you thinking so fondly of? There have been many over the years!
I still ski on a few versions of the MR/MRR but do not put them in the same category as the LOOK/FKS Pivots.

To what market? Thought we were all going gripwalk now.

Gripwalk race boots?

Boy I sure hope not. Glad I have plenty of proper Alpine soled boots around...

 

[Bill Talbot]

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???

Gripwalk race boots?

Do you think there is a Marker retro racer market?
Big enough to have side-by-side XCell and MRR (along with any Piston Plate re-do's that would be called for)?

If we restrict the possible market for MRRs to race boot purchasers who aren't using XCell/PP it's going to be rather tiny. Like maybe a dozen here and maybe another 10 on TGR.

I think we will see flat soled race boots as being the exception in the industry in a few years and fall under the specialty category. The good thing is that the GripWalk bindings will accommodate traditional alpine soles.

Let's just have a MRR heel to replace the Royal ones that nobody seems to be able to step into. Pair it with the XCell toe. And we'll offer it in 15 DIN.

Not really, those things were a pain in the rear and I wouldn't buy a non track binding anyways.

IMO the current E100 would make for sharp contrast - green is complementary to orange and blue is complementary to yellow. The Soul 7 is the wrong yellow on the highlights aned everything else is just meh.

But you know what would really rock the Forza colours? The current Wild Joy. Yes, I know they are supposed to be bundled with Tyrolia.

Hmmmm. I might have to do that. Give me a K2 TurboCharger with 710 graphic..and I am on it.

So a later 'step-in' variant, not one of the early pull up models...

Like this 98-99 heel?

Ya think?

Ladies, would you if you could?

 

[cantunamunch]

Ya think?

It's as close as you're going to get to the old 4S palette in the current crop.

 

[Bill Talbot]

These are awfully Purdy....

 

[Ziggy]

Have these passed the @Ziggy sniff testing yet???

I sniffed them and I approve.
