BLACK MARKET SKIS - anyone heard of these??

[samty]

So I just picked up a pair of "Black Market" skis for my girlfriend. They're the 'Flight' 167cm, 2007/2008 model, and have some rad silver dragons pasted all over them. They look pretty sick, 120 / 90 / 110 ish, twin, and stiff flex. I've never heard of them but apparently they have something to do with the Lamar snowboard factory..?? If anyone's heard of these I'd be keen to hear any more / feedback etc... Chur, Sam

[BroBomb]

sounds interesting enough. where'd u get em?

 

[debrickshaw]

they have a sweet graphic, id be interested to hear how they ski, where'd you get em?

 

[murs]

ahhah beat me too it
good joke

 

[Calb3rt]

blackcrow skis perhaps?

 

[iFail]

doubt it. I talked to a guy who was on them w/ a strong European acsent(idc about spelling) who was telling me he was thinking of selling Black Crows in the US(at a better price than theexchange rate we would pay) this season though, just a heads up for anybody who was curious.

 

[Calb3rt]

excellent! because i was hoping they would jump the pond soon.

anyways, to the OP, i have been looking for a solid 20 minutes and cant find anything on the ski but i know i have seen them before....

 

[Calb3rt]

this is starting to piss me off! i swear i have seen them in the 2009 freeskiers buyers guide poster, i had it up in the out house and i memorized just about every ski on it and i can totally picture them on there for some reason....

all skis come with a bag of turkish black tar heroin.

Ha, the shop I bought them from has some killa deals here in North Vancouver, including these which were a steal, so maybe that's all there is to the name...

Definitely nothing to do with Black Crows - I was in France for last season and tested a few pairs, crazy soft for big skis, too soft I thought but sick looking.

Will let ya'll know what my lady thinks of them soon as...

 

[samty]

So the verdict after first few days is they rock! Still don't know who the company is though...

 

[Sean_Kiely1838]

closest ive heard to that is Black Crow skis. tell us how they ski.

 

[kepler.]

Stop stressing. The skis aren't in the Buyer's Guide or on the poster. I just looked.

There are a pair of Black Crows in the Buyer's Guide called the Navis though.

 

[cultrara]

why would skis be sold on the black market?

 

[Abc567def]

weird, i havn't even heard of these before...

 

[YooperSteeze]

Any relation to Black Market bikes?
