Sad...Testing the Water: 185 Kingswood Midfat Regular

Never thought I would post this...but to get certain other things in my life moving certain sacrifices may need to be made. 

These are some of the best skis I've ever been on.

185 Kingswood Midfat. Regular Flex. Topsheet is a proto one that is currently unavailable to the public. These have bamboo sidewalls instead of ABS to save weight.

Mounted Twice, but both times are for Naxos so the mounting pattern is extremely wide.  There shouldn't be any problem fitting at least 2 normal alpine binding mounts in.

Flex wise - a tad softer than gotamas, but the bamboo core is super snappy and awesome. these skis are not floppy at all.

Condition- fucking perfect. These were just given a full tune. The bases are immaculate.  Topsheet too.

They are basically brand new. Skied maybe 7 days now.

Price....cheapest these can be had is about $600 including shipping and tariff whatnot.  I dont know what they are worth to people.

At a point they are worth more to me to keep then sell, but offers will be considered.

Shipping will be $30.  PM or email if your are interested and want to make an offer.

Im in the market for some of those Kingswoods but im thinking the extra cos i want somethiung stiffer than Gotamas but i have a few questions. How has the deuability been with the Bamboo sidewalls any issues? I would expect no with a company with such a good aproach as KW. If you dnt mind me asking why are you selling yours and whats going to take their place & are you repping for KW and is the sale to make way for a new KW? If its easier you can PM me.

easier to respond to all the question by looking.

I also have some 183 gotamas. These ski stiff even though hand flexing they are slightly softer. The bamboo is very responsive.  It doesnt flop around, very snappy.  they are much more stable then my 183 gots were.

Bamboo is extremely durable. 20% stronger then maple.  There shouldnt be any durability issues.  These skis were actually Alex's, the head guy at Kingswood, before me.  They also have a proto topsheet too.

I am selling because I am currently in the process of making my own skis, on3p. I had actually planned, and may still, hold on to these skis as I really really love them. But building you own skis is extremely expensive and to get it done I may need to sell these.

They will be replaced by on3ps if I sell them.

I am not repping for Kwood, but skimasterflex is and can help if you have more questions.

Again, the only reason these would get sold is to help complete the ski press I am currently building. 

I may still choose to hold onto them too.

^haha yeah it is so true that All Kwoods look better in person. That is my exact feeling when I look at them, they are beautiful. I think it's a construction thing together with the shinyness of the topsheet :)
