So are the new lives lifes different from the last ones at all?

On surface's site it says that they only changed the rocker a bit, but the dimensions are different from what i've read in people's reviews, seems like last year was 112 underfoot and this year is 120.

Has anyone ridden the new ones?

surface completely redesigned the ski for this year, the tip rocker is more gradual instead of the 8degree kink the LL2/One Life features, and they are fatter and the tips/tails are shaped just a little differently from last year...

Any word on how they ski? The kink sounded like a good idea, so are they better now or the way they were before?

message surface because i know Adam Clark has been shredding on them for some time now. The kink is good for certain skiers, but others want more running surface still with rocker. Being more gradual means more is touching the snow, so the 191 will ski more like a 175 or 180 instead of 189 LL2s that ski like 140-150's..

The LL1s from last year didn't have the 8 degree rocker. It is half, so like 4 degrees. Nice and mellow on both tip and tail, but also camber under the foot instead of flat.  So i'd imagine this years rocker profile follows that a little more.

i believe the one lifes are basically like the ll2's from last year and the live lifes are a little less extreme with the degree of rocker

The One Life is the exact same ski as the Live Life 2 from this season, just a new name and graphic
