Goode Nano 1 XT Review - first rides

Horton

Ride one - three 32s and three 35s
Ride two- three 32s and three 35s
Ride Three - in a tournament - 28,32,35,38 and 3 at 39 a new all time PB (Tournament and Practice).

I had never legitimately turned 2 at 39 before ever

Yea I guess the ski is pretty good : )

Holy crap!! Congrats to YOU (and the ski).

dvskier

Congratulations @Horton! You have proven that you have the ability to ski well on several different skis. Even more impressive is that you are doing it all on a totally different binding system.

Gloersen

@Horton - guessing Dave ought get some pre-preg out of the freezer after posting that result.

Stock settings?

Horton

@Gloersen that's one reason why it's so impressive. Bone stock.

@dvskier I have not changed bindings in over a year.

@Horton, my mistake. I thought you went on Reflex from Radar this ski season after your bicep injury.

There is life after 2 ball, congratulations @Horton, that is awesome!!!

@horton so is the review over as well as your ski testing days?

Horton

@skibug i am not that smart

Congrats @horton! I knew you were due. As I told you, you run 38 much better than a lot of guys with deep 39 averages and therefore you should be getting to 3 ball. Enjoy the moment and then be like all other skiers and want more

Horton

@bishop8950 there is more? Screw that.

Nice skiing running into 39 with a Vapor, an ARC and now a Nano this review season and icing on the cake to get a new PB not easy to come by at this stage. Congrats has to feel awesome.

DW

@Horton : congrats on the PB!

You must have plenty of time to ski since your #88 hero is on the couch...

Horton

@dw now that I have a baby I only have time for Formula 1. Kimi keeps breaking my heart.

DW

@Horton : not only Kimi, but Ferrari... they seem lost at sea right now. Alonso's Honda getting better. With the baby, the away races shown at obscene hours of the day may just be perfect, LOL.

@Horton Is the Nano 1 XT an asymmetrical ski? What were your settings when you ran a tournament pb? thx

Horton

@gmut from the GOODE web site

Nano 1 and Nano 1XT: What’s the Difference?

Both skis employ the same shape, construction material, exacting manufacturing process, and new sidewall design, but there is one key difference between them: the rocker profile.

The Nano 1 has a traditional rocker, meaning the ski’s rise from flat part of the ski to the tip begins at the same spot on both the on- and off-sides of the ski. The Nano 1 has a higher rocker quotient than the Nano 1XT, which many skiers find turns slightly better.

The Nano 1XT features the groundbreaking AsymRocker™, an asymmetrical rocker that begins at different points of the ski; earlier on the off-side, later on the on-side. Many skiers like the earlier rocker rise on their off-side because it allows the ski to finish the turn a bit better before engaging the fore body of the ski. The AsymRocker also allows the Nano 1XT to be slightly flatter than the Nano 1, which increases side-to-side speed, without sacrificing turning capabilities.

Stop the review now and find another ski to use.

@Horton - come back to Austin end of October for USGP. Maybe Maranello will have it figured out by then.....
