Birth of the Solomon 1080

Yeah its cool watching some of the way early freestyles, the CAF in this case

I have heard that out at Hood, there were already skiers doing freestyle. I am pretty sure it was before the CAF.. That would be Josh Frazier and Griffin Cummings and probably others I haven't heard of. They were making their own twin tips and I think I heard something about them sending a letter to one of the big ski companies about twin tips though I am not sure how that all ended. Obviously these guys, (Cusson, Auclair, etc.. get the credit)
 
It still gets me a bit teary eyed watching the old freeze... parkasourus...

I remember buying the 1080's and learning my three's and using the Palavaccinni Cornice at my quarter pipe. And poaching Keystone's OLD (Snowboarders only) Jackwhacker terrain park, under the gondola, with the see saw rail.

 
ha i remember i saw a guy do a sketchy pencil 180 with like 6 inches of air off a tiny little bump when i was like 5, and i thought it was the most amazing thing i had ever seen, and he had the original 1080's, it kept me from switching to snowboarding.
its crazy that was only 1997, it seems so old! its like comparing skateboarding in the early 70's to skateboarding now, only the same amount of change happened to skiing in only 10 years or less.
 
I always wanted myself a pair of those skis... My sisters boyfriend had a pair and I thought he was the shit. I ended up getting Concepts in the end. I still need a pair to ride before I die.

N E one have a pair for sale???
