What year where these?




16/17? Pretty sure it was the last year it was called the Underworld instead of the Deathwish Tour nomenclature.

thatsGWhat are best flex comps for a wildcat 101?


Hmm they're definitely stiff for that class of freestyle ski, the rocker and low swing weight keeps em playful though and you can get a ton of pop/energy out of them. They feel kinda like a damper Prodigy 2.0 but didn't lose their flex nearly as quickly (and way more durable), similar dampness to the CT2.0 but not as easy to flex to get on tip/tail. Haven't used the Jeffrey, but from what I've heard I think the WC101 is slightly stiffer but not as damp for charging through crud.

The Elan Playmaker feels like Josh Bibby just asked Elan to remake the Bibby (but with a longer effective edge), which is now the wildcat

But agreed that it flexes similarly to the Prodigy 2.0. Kinda flexes similarly to the Black Crows Camox too, but very different shape.

moment has always seemed to lack a little bit on the park rider representation to me. especially riding my franks in the midwest, kids are always asking me about them and not many recognize the brand. trying to do my part to show were not all just big mtn resort riders out west lol

You can see it in the swing weight of the ski, that ARV94 is a feather and has better camber for how Cody ski's. Lot less work for him to do what he does.

I had no idea on the bad reputation of the frankenski lol am I out of touch? I think it is an excellent park ski (probably the best ive ridden) and the rare times I see others riding it theyre usually good skiers.

There just isn't much market for a 2000g symmetrical 98waist ski in the comp scene. imo it was holding Cody back. It's a good park ski but not for elite level comp skiing... and that is ok, Cody better off on a tight radius lightweight arv94

Well considering they’re almost always sold out the market would say you are wrong.

The original Frank was redesigned a few years back after Cody tried out the ARV 94. The current version, among some other input is what came from that.

In the current state of park skiing (besides pipe) I don't think there's an elite ski, as everyone has a personal preference and wants something to match their style. I snapped my buddy's V's in one lap and thought they were un-ridable. Didn't work for me personally based on my preferences, meanwhile they're the most sought after ski from the swervers.

I also believe Cody can ride any park ski out there and still be untouchable.




I hope both teams have fun!

So he tried the arv94 a few years ago when it didn't exist, then said, make it fatter, heavier, and sym... only to leave to the 94 a few years later?

Would agree that there's no "elite" ski, but you have to be realistic and see no one else on the comp circuit is skiing a frank or anything else similar. Cody is elite and makes any ski look good too.

Cody only skied the Frank for occasional park laps, I built him custom Vice 178's for his comp skis.

If I do the black I have to buy a second brake since they only come in 75. So costing more. Raw matched nice, gold looks really cool but after seeing them with senders there is nothing that matches better.
