What kind of Hart goes into picking Graphix? - Page 4

It looks like the Beat goes on!!!

I skied Bob Barnes Pulses the entire weekend while I was in Colorado and really enjoyed them.  The plan is to mount them with the Vist speedlock system so that the binding will be moveable and adjustable.

Thanks Rod, I like the looks of the Beat, with the clean lines.

I thought about the pulse because I really like how the 4d graphix give you a couple different vantage points.  The Cheetah's never really spoke to me, but they could have inspired the animal in me, eh?

Hart has only produced a limited number of the Beats which means that there won't be many floating around, which makes it kind of an original.

I used the new pic upload feature to post that pic above.

I'll do the same for the pulse and Cheetah so you can see those too.

Thank You. A lot went into the design. When I was still with Hart, I spent some time with the women from TheSkiDiva on these. "Classic" and "timeless" were two words I was basing decisions on. The intent was to have a 3D topskin on them, that would have shown the depths of the colors, I hope that made it to the production models. 

That had a ton to do with my decision on buying this ski.

the 3D top ski didn't make it to the pair that I'm buying, but they still look really sharp.

Thanks Phil, and the SkiDivas for putting so much effort into this particular design.

Ohhhhh, she would rip on a pair of those!!!

Maybe you can influence hart to have a little ripper line!

 Yea, tog, the Harts will be mounted 2 cm forward, for obvious reasons. :)

The day we skied together at Keystone was different, I'll say that.  I guess we should have hit the lounge and left the slopes to the masses on that day, especially since we got there so late.

It was fun while it lasted tho, and definitely fun to spend a few hours with you.

The Beat is much classier in person than the Cheetah and I'm glad I have an opportunity to get on for my day to day skiing.

If we'd left the slopes to the masses, it's just the masses on the slopes. Then we're where? Not on the slopes!!  See, we had fun! Otherwise we'd be talking about uh...the bar at Keystone?

Glad to hear you're going +2!! (not that I know but seems right)

 

I suspect that Hart's mounting points are determined by Italian ex racers who make half a dozen turns in 4000 ft of vertical.  Thus they don't want the ski to turn much.

or...maybe that describes Phil?....

Phil recommended the +2 for that ski as well as a couple of others that Hart puts out.  There are few folks who have as much knowledge in their head about skis(and ski gear) than he does.

If you're nice to me, I may let you try my Hart Beat! ;)
