Now entering their third year the Metron’‘s are now accepted industry standards for the all-terrain carver but they still leave me a little cool. The thought of having a pair duck-billed platypus clipped to my boots helps little, the shape is unusual but reasonably effective and they achieve what they say on the packaging, namely to carve in any terrain. The weight is still an issue but this probably has a lot to do with the amount of technology crammed into one pair of skis. They are impressive and you can ski quickly on them but I don’‘t find them the one ski quiver to leave all the others behind. Growing on me, slowly, they may on you if you’‘re an advanced to expert skier but given a choice I’‘‘‘d either wish to err for a ski that best suited my favourite atyle of skiing,,, be it on or off piste, than for a ski that attempts to try and achieve it all.

Too heavy, too.., too!!!! People that can’‘t say anything about the skis themselves just say that skis feel like kinda heavy! Oh really, look the structure! Finally we have a SKI that does not compromise with structure and YES these are not the skis for an average skier YET you feel confident when you loan your own pair to an beginner carver.. Skied B5’‘s since those entered the market and just love them! Previous skied with SL9 until knee problems and after that with SX11’‘s. SX11’‘s are marvelous skis but required too much of continuous whipping (too unforgiven) to my liking and to my knee probs. Then I rented B5’‘s and will memorize that day for good. Immediate trust and that edge hold on grud, hard packed, iced, what ever you throwed on it, just a wider smile. And knees? Absolutely no problems. Give the skies just a hint that you want to go to "that" direction and boy you go! Put some force and you better to be prepared with the kick. Sleet, bumps, powder, anything goes! And I’‘m riding with 162’‘s and I’‘m 100kg, so I should be sking 10 csm longer ones! B5’‘s are the best skies I have ever owned and currently just can’‘t imagine what skies will ever replace these. Give them a try, please don’‘t mind the "weight" (thats important if you just carry skies). If you ski, let it go and: Come on baby let’‘s do the twist Come on baby let’‘s do the twist Take me by my little hand and go like this Ee-oh twist baby baby twist Oooh-yeah just like this Come on little miss and do the twist Free your errr.. "butt" and let your feet twist and let the sun shine. And please mind your grin, behave!
