Rossignol Black Ops Holyshred
The artist formerly known as the Black Ops 98 returns with a new graphic and whole new identity this winter – coming back as the truly epic-sounding Holyshred.
Other changes this year come in the shape of cold hard stats as Rossi abandon their previous mysterious approach to the Rossignol Black Ops series that saw very little information made available regarding dimensions, sidecut and weight etc. We may now officially know what we already think we kind of knew but nothing’s really actually changed.
The Holyshred is still all the fun it ever was, skiing like a park ski gone to the dark side – playful and poppy underfoot yet still solid and stable at high-speed.
The moderate rocker ensures a tip flap-free ride, and it carves hard with real security when laid over.
Drifting fast piste turns, pushing the nose through crud and generally fooling around in a non-linear fashion becomes highly addictive once you work out when to transfer weight twixt tip and tail to get playing.
A compelling mission indeed.
