I love the idea of having reviews like this, and I think it should definitly be done. This way, people could read through reviews and have a good idea of what they want to buy for gear. THe one thing is, there needs to be a way to monitor any fraudulent postings, as to keep these reviews as good and accurate as possible.
reviews would be nice.. but its hard to have a non-bias review of a product.. especially in this website. i think all reviews and comments should be monitored and then posted with approval.
A review will always be biased, as it is the personal opinion of the product, but if you get multiple viewpoints it should work and be accurate. Categories would be awesome, with a specific page for each product, would work really well.
thats sick....thats exactly what i was tlkaing baout...easier to use... instead of stars thought you hsould have steezed out skiers...with different graphics as they get more steeezzy.....but umm, that would be difficult to do...and make look good. possible each skier as a silhouette in a circle??...maybe i'll do soem mockups...
