1 ski company youd never buy?

I won't say that I would never buy from one company, or another...but...

I don't like foam cores - so most Salomon skis I'm not a fan of.

At this time, I choose not to support 9thward, not because of the gangster image they have or anything like that, I just know of problems with the character and integrity of the company which makes me not want to give them my money.

I've never had a problem with any Line skis that I've owned, and they about as progressive as it comes...I'll continue to ride Line skis until I feel otherwise.

The Liberty skis I have (bought used for very cheap, not ever sure what model, they are a few years old) are actually not a bad ski, I used them all last year for teaching + park and they are fine, a little tip delam on one ski, but nothing a rivet and some epoxy can't fix. Keep in mind these were already pretty heavily used when I got my hands on them.

Volkl makes amazing skis, they are worth every penny you spend on them because they last.

Atomic makes nice skis too, and they are getting more into the freeskiing side of things too, I'd buy a pair, the new Thug and Pimp are both very nice.
 
Those idiots saying Rossi sucks or Rossi doens't innovate... the Scratch FS WRS is the most innovative ski this season and they are so popular they are back ordered till the end of January. They are probably the highest quality ski you can get too, and in Europe they are the cheapest on the market. Quiksilver knows what it's doing.

I have yet to hear 1 single person who owns a pair of 9wards and doesn't think they are sick skis. Fuck you narrowminded pricks just because they are different from u. You put so much importance into image why don't you just spend your weekends at a shopping mall. 9ward is a fist against all the dumb shit that's going on in skiing right now.
 
well the old armadas were pretty shitty (edges ripping out and an easily destroyed topsheet) and really expensive. now they are sick
 
well if their skis are the best they dont realy need to change that much

I prolly wouldnt buy from 9thward cause i heard they screwed NS
 
exactly, even though the invader thing happened line is rilly good with their warranty and will send you a new pair a.s.ap

 
Liberty and Force

(force because they havent got their construction down properly yet, but when they do the skis will be sick..)
 
Whats wrong with Liberty and 4Frnt? They both seem like solid companies. Elan probably has nice skis too, but not twins.

Ninthward, however, I would not buy.
 
Volkl, salomon, rossignol, atomic etc. Especially volkl and rossy, great skis.

As far as the 4frnt warranty issues. When you slam ptex with metal edges against a rail, it will eventually break.

If you can't deal with that, then stop skiing.
 
why they have really good skis, eventhough the graphics suck. but why would bushfield go to nordica if they sucked
 
god i hate marker bindings... broke mine in 2 days of skiing. but they were the cheap kind so i deserved it.

i would say liberty just from what ive heard and my friend had a pair, havent ridden them yet though
 
any fake company like liberty, surface, nintheward, theres gotta be more fake companies out there
 
dude, ninthward is not fucking fake.

They have some ill skiers on their team

Phil Belanger,

The Peters brothers,

Rory Silva

Mikael

These guys would not ride for a company that produces shit skis, so stfu.
 
no shit, since Larose is supporting Liberty, that makes me think they are pretty decent company, because that guy is sick as fuck and is one of the forefathers of freestyle jibbing. He is so smooth on rails, watch any old ski movie.
 
Unless I could get some crazy discount on them I wouldnt buy Salomon, I've had too many bad experiences with loss of stiffness and core shrinkage.

Also the way 9thward puts its self about really puts me off. But I'd still buy em.

Oh Blizzard and Elan. Very poor.
 
...why the fuck WOULDNT you buy the best skis on the market? Or i guess they were best last year. No ski compares to the Gotama.
