I am considering going for either the Mix Fusion or Ben Wannamaker Pro.

Can anybody tell me what the key differences will be in terms of how they will be to ride? I know the Wannamaker Pro are wider and a little stiffer but what effect will that have?

Thanks,
B.

stiffer = better for landing jumps and for carving hard through crud and powder.

wider = better for landing jumps and for carving hard through crud and powder.

For example. I personally like to pressure my edges a lot when I carve and go really fast while doing it so, i prefer stiffer, wider boards.

I love carving and going in the soft stuff so really I'd be better off with the Wannamanker Pro's i guess...

My setup looks like it will be Wannamaker pro's with the risers then...cool.
Thanks for the info.

Wannamakers and Fusions have the same dimensions.

Tip/Tail: 13.5cm
Waist: 10cm

However...
BWP have a totally different flex pattern. Meaning we are using totally different fiberglass on the inside to hold up to Ben's aggressive riding style on the rails.
Simplified...BWP's are stiffer.

So....what are the advantages of Fusion over WMP's? what are they better suited for? Less aggressive carving on groomers??

The Wannamaker flex pattern is designed to be able to rip groomers at any level but also contain a stiffness for any agressive rail session or urban mission you want to undertake. These boards were designed with well-rounded riders in mind.

When Are the boards gonna be out? The mountains round here are opening in like 2 weeks. Not trying to disrespect, but well its been a while over the suggested release date.

in a few days mix should be sending us enough 110's to fill pre orders that came in up until last week. then within another 1-2 week we should get the rest.

wicked does that mean the people who pre-ordered 110s are getting them before everyone else?

that's what that means. same goes for bomber elites. they are also behind but agreed to send enough for pre orders.

see there are advantages to pre ordering.
