Would anyone recommend the 168 Striped Lib Tech NAS's? Also, is Lib Tech coming out with more skis next year and some ski bindings?

i hear good things and bad things. yeah the magin traction is great cause you can file down the edges n grind but still have a perfect edge, but i also hear bad things such as they flex in the wrong spots, im gonna wait till i hear more things about them and see more out on the mountain. and i wanna say yes to the bindings but im not sure if theres some coming out.

i was told that if you buy the Stripes graphic, you get 2 identical skis of the plain striped ski, and if you buy the Striped Man graphic, you get 2 identical skis of the striped ski with the guy on it. do you think thats true, becuase the 2 graphics are pictured mixed together as a pair?

i have a friend with 2 magnetraction snowboards and loves them. he knows a guy who has the 188 parillo graphic NAS's and says that the guy loves them. i haven't directly spoken to the guy, but this is what i heard.

i'm not 100% sure but i think that the magnetraction allows you to detune the edges to be better in the park for rails and boxes yet still be as "carvable" as regular, tuned skis. if someone could verify this, i would appreciate it, cause i'm not sure if i'm right.

bump for that... particularly the 188s cuz I'm lookin for a pow ski the 176s definately wouldn't cut it for me since they are so much skinnier too.

everything. ive ridden them on ice/the super firm stuff in the morning when its like 15 degrees/pow/chunder/slush and they hold their own no doubt. (no park was had while riding these skis)

kind of weird to get used to cuz they feel super responsive, like they want to turn a lot, but after an hour you get used to it and really put the magnetraction to the test. after saying that it sounds like they dont like to straightline, eh? well wrong. you can straightline these skis just as well as any other. carving switch is unbelievable on these, soo easy and smooth. (this pair were demos at Mt Baker)

with that said, i would recommend them. and now looking back on that day of sickness, i want to buy a pair of my own... god damnit.

stripes is just the striped ski without a guy on it. striped man is the striped ski with a man on the top right ski only.

how do they look in real life? i'm planning on getting the 168 striped man and some salomon 914 b85 bindings for them. i put up a photoshopped image of the bindings mounted on my profile cause i dont know how to post an image on a thread. how do you think the salomon 914 bindings would work with the 168's, because they look sick.
