Hey NSers,

We're excited to announce our expanded ski lineup for the upcoming season. This now includes a traditional cambered park ski and a hard charging all-mountain ski coming in at 109mm underfoot. Be sure to check out https://revisionskis.com/ to see the skis and more.



We wanted to introduce to you our new gear for the 15/16 season as well as give you a convenient platform to ask us any questions or share your experiences with our skis for the benefit of the rest of the community. So if you have anything you'd like to ask, comment, or discuss let's hear it!

RevisionSkisThere were 50 pairs of The Bunch x Talisman produced. There are only 5 pairs remaining and they will not be restocked whenever they become sold out. Thanks for your interest!


*Sorry that wasn't totally clear - there are only 5 pairs remaining in the presale (at presale pricing). If we end up with any extras after The Bunch guys grab their skis in the fall, we would release those. Slim odds and it and would be just a couple pairs if it were to happen.

Titsandwich11are the bodrums full, regular camber? or is there some early rise or anything involved? also, do you know the weight on them?


The Bodrum has a mellow tip rocker (similar to Talisman) and the weight is ~9 lbs 4 oz at 189cm.

https://revisionskis.com/product/dime-full-camber-park-skis/

Full camber, symmetrical, 91 underfoot, stiffer than Talismans. They are new to our lineup this year so only a few people have ridden them. What are you wondering about?
Culture.CoHow long is the pre sale ?


Pre sale runs until the end of the month.

We do not have any gender specific models for our skis. If you are on the smaller side we offer the 166 size for the Substractions and the Talismans. The Dime is available in 171.

Unfortunately,we do not have any reviews coming soon but we do have reviewers lined up for this season.

We would like to do more limited edition top sheets in the future, but don't have any specific plans at this time.

The Bodrum is a stiff, stable all-mountain ski that excels in variable conditions. They do great at resorts, whether your skiing hard pack, pow, or a quick park lap. I rode them last year during a late season storm cycle. Had a blast in the fresh snow, but even more fun busting through the chop on the Bodrum as things got tracked out.

great. theyre not that wide.. same width as al dentes and lots of other park skis. ive never wished for them to be skinnier, that's for sure

can't help much here, not having ridden kartels, but i do know theyre definitely stiffer than talismans. talismans are pretty damn soft

this, although i live in a more big mountain specific area, the presale price really has me considering them for a spring/park/jibbing on the side ski. anyone have any experience who can chime in on things like durability, flex, and edging?

182, no question. that's the right length for your height anyway, and youre 195lbs, and the talismans are soft

and idk but im pretty sure last time i checked, the dimensions they list are referring to the 182 length

Just got my talismans today and they look fucking sick. One thing though is when i run my finger down the side there are random bumps in the tips and tails on the sidewalls. Is this a problem. They aren't very big just noticeable to the touch.

I'm on the dimes now for review, look for an article within the coming weeks. They are fun, swing weight is low and so far they are holding up well (3 days, 2 edge cracks but nothing else). Definitely on the stiffer side, not a ski for buttering. Lots of camber.

Thanks. Since you're answering questions -- you said they're too stiff for buttering, but did they get flexier at all in the few days you rode them? Also, how durable do they seem?

Haven't loss any camber or stiffness in the 3 days on them so far. Durability is on par right now. Bases are pretty hard, few scratches but I expected more from all the rocks I've hit and tranny'd on. Topsheets have no chips, sidewalls are fine, tips and tails are fine.

I wouldn't go by the topsheet, mine were both off center. There should be some hash marks on the sidewall.

Has anyone tried out the Bodrum yet? Haven't heard seen anything really on this model yet. Looks similar to a Kartel 107, and it makes me wonder how they rip inside the park

I mounted a pair and no less than two weeks later, they were back in the shop with a ripped out heelpiece. Also the ski had 6"-8" of delam in the tail.

Put in helicoils, and a week later they were back in the shop with even more delam (the core probably was soaked by this time), and the edge was ripping out.

I dunno if it was just a flawed ski, but I was not impressed.

the shop probably fucked up the first mount and water got in causing the delam and binding pull out

I mounted the ski. I didn't fuck it up. and the delam was initially right by the tail. no way it was from an improper binding mount.
