Phil Casabon's pro model ski, the Bdog, caters perfectly to his press and pop mastery. The Circle Flex uses super flexible tips and tails in conjunction with straight sections in the sidecut, located right where the pressing happens for maximum surface area and minimal hang-ups. The core is a mix of poplar and ash woods. The poplar is lightweight, and the full-length ash stringers are high density and tough, together they create an impossibly lively ski. 2.5 Impact Edges are oversized and specially heat-treated to resist damage; the S7 base is slick, tough and fast for maximum speed as well as durability. The combination of AR75 Sidewall and AR Freestyle Rocker adds versatility and improved handling. The sidewall runs the length of the ski edge working with the camber underfoot to produce grip on firm transitions and pop on kickers; rocker at the tips and tails ensure smooth handling with no hooking. Thanks to the soft flex it never becomes unruly in the park, in fact this ski pretty much redefines playful. Lock into that tranny in any park or urban setting, stomp and repeat. Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type It's designed for park but it's also surprisngly good all mountain. The shape with the long nose and tail and the Circle Flex, makes it super smooth for buttering; this design also shines when skiing fresh snow, letting the ski initaite and release super-easily. Skier Type Park skiers who want something playful to press and butter as well as hit jumps and rails but also get on to the rest of the mountain as well. Overview Shape 94mm in the waist feels quick edge to edge and the 15m radius makes it turn nicely on hard pack when taking quick runs down groomers. The long nose and tail feature straight sections to help with pressing. Rocker AR Freestyle Rocker uses rockered tips and tails combined with positive camber under foot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so. Turn the whole mountain into your playground. Core Armada's Poplar Ash Core uses lightweight poplar combined with higher density full-length ash stringers to create an impossibly lively ski that has all the power needed for boosting to new elevations. Construction The AR75 Sidewall uses semi-cap sidewall along the majority of the ski with a full cap at the tip and tails. This combination helps absorb high speed chatter and impacts from jibs. Key Features Circle Flex Phil Casabon's signature Circle Flex uses super flexible tips and tails, with straight' sections in the sidecut where the pressing happens for maximum surface area and minimal hang-ups. 2.5 Impact Edge Oversized and specially heat treated, this edge is built to resist impact damage in the most demanding situations. S7 Base The perfect blend of durability and speed. EB tester's comments: Mark (Trainer) Don't think they're just built for the park. They're great for playing around the whole hill too. It's easy to see why park skiers love them as they're mega forgiving and stable for stomping landings or buttery take offs.

Ellis Brigham was born in 1933, the brainchild of Frederick Ellis Brigham, who set up business making cycling shoes and walking boots in a tiny 'two up, two down' building on the outskirts of Manchester.
After the war, as mountain walking and climbing became more and more popular, the shop began to sell ex-WD climbing equipment and Brigham's boots with their special nailing patterns became very sought after.
Fast forward almost 80 years and Ellis Brigham now has 24 shops across the UK and a leading website, making it the UK's premier retailer for ski hardware, mountaineering equipment and outdoor clothing.
