Cheers

sorry, still in the myth category. completely unfounded and unsubstanciated. unless someone can shed some light on who said, what, when,

[driley]

There is a trade show or exhibition in Germany at the end of next week. The US distributor said information will be available then. That was his response this morning and he said no information will be available before the show. Sounds like he is going to the show.

[qman]

look forward to it. I also found one photo with a german caption on the prasch site that appear to be newer design, look to be similar geometry but new engineering.

[Stunub]

Looks like we will find out next week then.

is this the picture your talking about Qman?


photo is from www.praschberger.com/de/unternehmen/news

Google Translate interprets the caption as...

"New prototype wins Bronze in Korea at World Cup 2009"

I wish they could have released it a bit eirler in the year. The season has ended here in Aus and I've got set on getting a Nissin before I head to Vail next year. But it would have been great to see all the latest options.

thats the photo i was talking about,
but i am sure you will be great with the nissin, i am actually a bit jealous. they are really highly adjustable and look great. I may even switch to one next year, if i can afford it.

there are sort of two concepts that overlap a little , the bent leg low feet like the prasch and tessier. and the striaghter higher feet like the KB, RPC, etc. the nissin is sort of part way between.

like i said, from what i could deduce from the photo (which isnt much) the change isnt dramatic in terms of geometry. I feel it will be very similar but an improvement in term of the engineering.
In fact i predict the pivot points will be the same.

A friend has been talking about making a rig based on the prasch pivot points but out of lighter materials etc. a project for the summer.

[driley]

Yeah, tough decisions on these things, being so expensive. I'm happy with my used Prash but it needs some work and I would still like something else. The HOC looks good. The Nissin looks good. The Scarver looks good.

The Nissin, HOC and Scarver all seem to sit pretty high off the snow. My main concern is getting up from a fall. I want to be as independant as possible and I worry about this with the tall rigs.

[qman]

i think the Scarver and nissin would be fine but the HOC looks high.

Yeah, muscles for picking myself off the snow. Working on it all the time. Skiing has been great motivation for geting in better shape.

any news yet, it is the end of next week already

[Stunub]

Was it the end of this week or the end of last week?

The end of next week is now the end of this week. Last week I said the end of next week. It is now next week. But it is not the end of next week.

The end of this week. Qman is going through ski season end withdrawals.

[qman]

lol, nice one, it is sickening looking out the window at the mountains that still have plenty of snow but the ski fields are shut

and yes i can see the ski fields from my desk.

[Stunub]

Qman, your desk location is both a blessing and a disaster for obvious reasons.

[Stunub]

It's nearly the end of the week....

[driley]

I was just thinking the same thing.

Got an email from the US distributor who said he saw the new ski yesterday and that it looks good. No photos or other details in the email. More info "soon" is what he said.

[qman]

seems to me to be the end of the next week now and still nothing useful.

;-)

[qman]

while we are waiting we can speculate over this one.

The new prasch with a Pininfarina twist?

[driley]

Just posted some info on the new Praschberger at AdaptiveSportsForums.com. I'm on a work break and don't have time to post it all here right now. Feel free to repost the info here if you would like.

My quick review is that it looks nice. An improvement on the current model but not a redesign. Expensive.
