I have the BC-90s. I enjoy them a lot. They kick and glide well, and I can do some good turns with them on the downhills.
I've done some very big days with them and my Alaska-75s. Also, I'm planning using them when doing Crater Lake in a day in Feb. or March. Part of my celebration for completing of 60 heliocentric orbits in 2021.

This isn't me, but someone enjoying their BC-90s:

This is what we called a short-cut...This isn't by any mean a proof that those skis are good. Check more of his youtube vids; he skis bare foot, with rubber boots, with universel binding, with stiff carving skis, with Fischer Silent Spider (very skinny) at the resort, etc, etc. The only proof here is: HyokoD is a really, really good skier.

Skiing with good skis doesn't make you a good skier. Skiing with bad skis doesn't make you a bad skier...

Another thing: someone that buys a ski isn't alway the best critique. The guy just dropped 400, 500, 600 bucks; he wants them to be good. That's just human psychology...

BTW, you forgot to put the author's name of the joke in your signature «I love sports-bars. Because they collect all the people I don't want to hang out with and put them in one room.» DEMETRI MARTIN.

No "proof" was intended. I simply said " I enjoy them a lot. They kick and glide well, and I can do some good turns with them on the downhills." It is simply my personal opinion. And I submitted the video to show the kind of good skiing that can be done on them. I frequently ski them with similar competency on similar terrain.

I do like your opinion of HyokoD (skier in video). He is quite good. In the video he skinned up the first time. The second run he just used the scales on his bc90s. He also has some video lessons on tele - worth a look for those interested.

No I didn't forget. I didn't know. But a big "thanks" to the literary citation police ;)

Poor you: being harassed by the citation police. Funny how many Americans are standing their ground, determined to defend property... When it's about intellectual property, that sounds quite different...

Again they are an "OK" ski....My problem is that they are an ok ski that's slow....lso they go into a dip and the tips dig in....just like the old outtabounds.....e99's and 109's rise up and by doing this they are full of energy....A beautiful thing....So in my OPINION they are ok but fishers are better...TM
