[socalgal]

I spotted these out in the wild last month and thought of this thread.

Nice setup! A VIST plate? I thought Vist was dead. Not sure about a pivot on that but I'll take it.

The skis came with the plate. There was a Pivot originally mounted on it; I just needed to redrill for my larger boot size. I don’t think I could’ve used any other binding...I think the Pivot has the shortest footprint, and the plate was adjusted at the shortest length. I didn’t want to remount the plate.

Do you have a photo of the plate without the binding?
Years ago I had a 160cm Elan fis sl, the last year they were made before the 165cm mandate. I put a Vist plate on it that as I remember just attached at the toe. Loved that ski.
Your photo reminds me of the middle of the plate.

Very nice! That's a different one.
Ahh Edgewise...no one is over that loss. The proliferation of $250k+ tuning machines hasn't done much to fill the void. Just highlighted the mess.

Saw a pair "in the wild" for the first time yesterday at Sunday River... didn't manage a pic... that certainly stand out.

Where can I get a pair of these Forza's mounted around Boston? These would look sweet on the Rustler 9's I just picked up!

You should be able to get them mounted at any Look/Dynastar/Rossi/Lange dealer.

These Lines look nice with the Forzas.

Note for 19/20 that the Pivot 18 will have a Gripwalk compatible AFD.

Forza’s on my Liberty’s and Brahma 82’s. You can

see the graphics from far away. Very easy to watch your skis in the rack when you go in for lunch!

Bindings cost as much as the ski, but just wouldn't look right with black socks. Next year Slicer's graphics, now called "Menace", are not as nice.

Can I mount the 95 on both Brahma 88 and Bonafide 98, with a bit of a stretch? ... wouldn't 115 be too wide for 98 underfoot? I know the Pivot 15 will be available for next season, but I really like (the look of) these Forzas. And my DIN is 8.0 so no problem there.

I run a 95mm Pivot up to 100mm. I cannot fault you for liking the yellow to orange Forza.

I was actually favoring the Gold, if I waited and went with the 15
