Dynastar Legend Pro Rider Skis 2008/09

Dynastar Legend Pro Rider Skis 2008/09

Revised and revitalised for 2009, the Legend Pro Rider ski is built for the dedicated freeride expert, or even Pro rider. Firmer, smoother and more invigorating than the previous somewhat soporific model. The float is increased with the addition of an extra 3 mm underfoot, the lengths - there are 3 models available - are a touch shorter and whilst it may seem more manageable I think the overall effect is producing a large freeride ski that remains dynamic.

Certainly a ski for the most proficient of skiers, the radius is 21 m +, so if you love a GS ski then you'll enjoy the Pro Rider in the deep and tough, advanced skiers need not apply. Solid wood-core and sidewall construction keeps 'em beefy and easy to repair so durability shouldn't be an issue. A firm ride and understated image, which you may like and I can take or leave - but as a ski they are feisty beasts.

The manufacturer says this about the Dynastar Legend Pro Rider Skis 2008/09:

A range dedicated to freedom lovers. Whether it is the pro
rider who spends all day in the powder or the skier who occasionally
ventures off-piste, everyone will find a ski adapted to their style.
This year, the Pro Rider structure has been redone and it now has
wider sidecuts and 3D technology, without losing the power and
performance that gave it its reputation! The Pro XXL is also now
available in size 187.
