Why is there no word about this company? I thought they are quite big name in the game, and their skis look really nice.
 
Amplid was so dope in the golden era days when they had Tom Wallisch, Mike Hornbeck, and Steve Stepp. That was like 10 yeas ago though. They were somewhat relevant recently when they had Noah Albaladejo and Luka Meloni, but I'm not sure where either of those guys are currently at...

I believe that Amplid as a whole is bigger in snowboarding and bigger in Europe... can anyone confirm this?

Yeah I got some amplids a couple years back because they were cheap. Their website has all kinds of different languages and they're definitely focused on europe

I got the provokes in 2014 for 300 including bindings. I've used them as my beaters ever since and haven't had any problems.
 
Got a pair of townships one year. Lost edge so fast. Once it started loosing underfoot it just kept going the length of the ski. I hope they have changed their edge construction since.
 
I got some amplids from a buddy and I had no edges underfoot because they didn't have any teeth, I'm surprised they stayed in as long as they did.

Yea, when I asked them about not having teeth they said it was stronger. Maybe stronger against getting edge cracks but not stronger at staying in the ski. My one ski the edge started pulling out while it was all in one piece.
 
I have been with amplid for the last three years. Their whole line up is on point. The antidote is one of the snappiest funniest park skis I have ever ridden. They pulled out of the north american market because we are broke and don't spend money on skis like the europeans do.

Yep, when they started to pull out they would be at least 8 inch pieces
 
i know 3 guys that were sponsored by them. only one of them rides for them now. the others really didn't like the quality of the skis. the Rockwell and Antidote looks like some fun skis though
 
They basically have the biggest fucking idiot for a team manager ever. That's why you don't hear about them. The skis are incredible though and yeah, Levelninsports.com is the only authorized seller of Amplid within the U.S. as of last season. I say go for it.
 
Hi all.

I just want to share with you all here my experience with Amplid. I got a pair of amplid ego trip evolution from the season 14/15. 1.85cm.

I was happy with them quite soft, but they worked fine.

My surprise was when couple of months ago loading them on the car, I saw that the top and the bottom layer were separated from the central part of the ski. I was surprised because the skis did not have any hit or core damage in the sole. Water went in, probably because of not well glued materials. So it damaged the ski.

I knew that the skis were off guarantee, but I contacted the brand, just to let them know.

They asked me to send photos, which I sent, but surprisingly they say photos needed to be lighter than 1 mega otherwise their system did not accept them. (¿?)

I did so, and here comes their reply:

¨Hi Joan,

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately the ski appears to have broken due to an impact. Since your photos look like Pop-Art and you aren't able to send images with a smaller file size that don't, I'm going on what I can see.

But anyway, the damage is irrelevant as you haven't provided a receipt and the skis are outside of the warranty period. Therefore I'm not able to warranty your skis.

Regards,¨

So basically those ¨cracks¨ with their amazing system do not get high resolution photos (what about an attached file in a mail??¨ too much technology for them maybe.

Well anyway they cannot manage (or do not want) to accept photos with high resolution and then they complain, and they say ¨Unfortunately the ski appears to have broken due to an impact¨.

They criticize the quality of the photos but they do not let you provide better ones, and then they make statements of what happened, even if the photos are so poor with resolution. The skis have no impact. That´s it.

My conclusion is, bearing in mind what do they charge for the skis, and that they collapse in 3 years, you better go for something reliable such as Rossignol or K2, Black Diamond, Salomon or someone else who, If at least charge you, they respond, and have reliable customer service procedures.

I understand they can have failure in their production, but dealing with their customers if we were idiots, does not help at all.

Big deception with amplid.

Hey Joan, you sound like a fucking idiot. Did you miss the part where they said the damage is irrelevant because you couldn't provide proof of purchase within their warranty period? People like you are a fucking cancer on the sport. Seriously, fuck people like you. You are a piece of shit.

"I want them to go outside their company policies because I expect them to act professionally."

You are beyond idiotic and entitled.

There's the real problem Joan. With sticks that small no wonder the construction was shit.
 
Amplid does well in Europe. Based in Fischbachau, Germany, founded by snowboard legend Peter Bauer. Small brand dedicated to making quality gear. If you don’t hear about them, it’s because they’re focused on making good skis and snowboards, not on blowing up the interwebz.

I bought the Facelifts for touring and fucking love em, my girl got the splitboard with the same carbon tech.
