Hidden in the graphics of this ski is the saying “A Dragon Amongst People” – a phrasecelebrating Faction’s leading freestyle athletes. For one month only, in February 2022, theFaction team (mens and womens) will use this limited-edition ski, including during the Beijing2022 Winter Olympics. Only a very limited amount of these will go on sale to the public, so don\'t hang around. The Prodigy 1.0 is a park-orientated model that makes progression simple. This poplar-cored, freestyle twin, has buckets of pop and flex while maintaining real performance on the downhill. Generous rocker at the nose and tail make handling intuitive whatever the snow and aid butters. The directional shape ensures that you have more control throughout your turn and can blend those carves into butters easily. A bombproof set of sticks that lay the tracks for modern-day, do-it-all park skis. exclusive product, ellis Brigham are the only dealer chosen to stock them in the UK.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Loads of time in the park and searching out natural hits on the mountain and side of the piste. It’ll handle powder days too as well as a few runs down the groomers chasing piste skiers.Skier TypeSkiers looking to spend maximum time in the park on rails and kickers.OverviewShapeThe Prodigy 1.0 is a directional twin, with a wider nose than tail, making it feel super-stable and boosting control. 90mm underfoot is perfect for the park, feeling quick from edge-to-edge yet still wide enough for float in softer snow. The 18m (181cm) radius boosts the stability on landings and in rougher snow, as well as remaining easy to turn. The set-back contact points create long tips and tails, improving the handling in softer snow and making butters smoother.RockerTip and Tail Rocker uses traditional camber underfoot for response and good edge grip, with rocker at the tip and tail to improve manoeuvrability by aiding turn initiation and completion. CoreA poplar core is a great balance of lightness, durability and good pop, perfect features for an all mountain freestyle ski. It makes the Prodigy 1.0 slightly softer than the CT 1.0, adding to the ease of use.ConstructionFull Strength Sidewalls run the length of the ski and optimise the precision and edge hold. On top of this is an Anti-Chip Micro-Cap that rounds off the topsheet where it meets the sidewall, increasing durability and better resisting the little dings and bangs.  Key FeaturesSurf ZonesSurf Zone unites Rocker and Taper design to make sure these two key features work in harmony. Rocker provides float and facilitates pivoting, while a Tapered Tip moves the widest part of the ski closer to the centre and removes unwanted hooking. The right amount of both, in the right place, to promise a floaty, seamless, surfy ride in all conditions.XL 2.5mm edgesThicker edges mean increased durability and impact resistance, crucial for a ski that is built to test the rule book. eB tester’s comments: Mark (Trainer) It\'s a bit of a one quiver ski for someone who really likes a twin tip. They are fun to mess around on, but surprisingly capable on hard pack and fun off to the side in variable conditions.Technical SpecificationsSize (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)16412090112121580171183General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate/Advanced/expertTerrain Type: Freestyle Rocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: ShortBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Mini Cap Full SidewallCore: Wood Demo: NoSizing Description: eye level for the maximum ease of spinning and rail tricks, but you need to go bigger for extra stability or speed and for all mountain versatility, especially important on the wider models that are designed to spend more time away from the park.
