I was watching tv, and I saw an ad for a movie about some girl whos like thirty and yadayada, and as it turns out, in this ad, she goes skiing and rides 1080s, even tho she falls of the chairlift, and drops them and shit. but did salomon actually pay them to advertise for there ski thinking this would get them more sales by people watching this chick flip? oh yeah, and the movies called reasons edge I think.

what did that post make you think of me?

 
Yeah, its Bridget Jones, Edge of Reason.

Can't remember the resort it was filmed at, Switzerland somewhere?

no the people at salamon can't be that stupid. The movie people prob. just found the 'coolest' skis out there.

 
1080 actually ride really well for beginners, theyre forgiving, turn easily... fairly flexible not to mention light. a lot of shops rent em to 'novice' skiers.

 
^ So that must be it. If I was the ski company I would start suing asses left and right and reinvest that money back into the company for better products for the riders.

I'm willing to bet, based on what I know about licensing laws, that salomon was in on it. Like it or not, skiing is going back to the mainstream. The 'subculture' that everyone seems to be enjoying will die, just as it did with skate boarding, and people will get over it. Sports like basketball, baseball, foot ball, soccer.... will allways exist, and because of the financial requirements involved with skiing, skiing will never reach the lime light. What does that BS mean? It means that promoters, event organizers and marketers will have an easier time involving skiing in their promotions and the sport (professionals) will begin to see increased profit potential.

None of that will happen if Law suits against resorts continue to be filed due to simple risk management issues. Regardless of your role at your hill, whether your a customer, employee or just visiting, if you see something that isnt right, let some people know. Theres a lot of work to be done around the ski areas still, and believe it or not, amidst that million dollar campuses, theres no money spared to take on more staff to fix things or make things safer. Please help where you can, and educate the 'joeys' so they dont get 'murdered' in our parks. And the worse part is, lawyers feel it is in line with murder if they can prove that the resorts are at fault. ... lame

 
^^ yeah snowboarding is supposed to be 'cool' but that really only applies to teenagers. very few middle aged people are out there trying snowboarding for the first time

i agree with fluf statement, there are way to many people going around on skis and snowboards taking jumps that shouldnt be, 2 years ago a kid killed himself at keystone, trying to go huge on a jump, and it didnt work out he over shot it and died of internal injuries, moral of the story is, it realy doesnt matter what skis a girl in a chick flick has, no one is proaly even gonna notice, because most of the people that are going to go see it are girls who dont care anyways.

 
^ Is that the same kid that tried the 360?

yeah, i think he was i saw the whole thing happen from the lift, and he got like 270 around and hit the flats and started twitching, thats some real scary shit, but i dont think that im that stupid.

 
^^ yea salomon is pretty stupid for that shit... they'll probably lose money doing that cause us freestylers are going to be like whoa a chick in a chick flick rides those, they must be gay

i'm glad you guys decide what skis you will ride based on whether or not they appeal to the mainstream public. maybe if you would actuallu give the 1080s a shot, you'd realize they ski a lot better than armadas, 4frnts, or basically any other twin tip on the market right now except for maybe the kharmas.

 
there is no way the 1080s ride better than any of those skis you listed. 4frnts will eat 1080s all over the mountain, and while 1080s will be completly destoryed after one season, they will stll be mint. the 1080s blow.

in science class i sat down to fast and you know how you can sit on your balls. well i did and i sat down really fast and crushed them and right when i sat down i started puking and fell out of my chair. they teacher laughed. i felt like i could pass out i wanted to die.-*NWFT*nUkkA

I still just have no idea how you can mistake your dick and a chicken neck, let alone not realize what you are doing. -manus

they're a decent ski.......... i just hated them for going fast. they chatter like a bitch. but everywhere else they're decent.

Not a bad ski. But if you don't like it, don't worry, salomon is comming out with a new twin.

It's supposed to be pretty dope.

Plus, I've heard the Candide is a pretty sick ski.

 
arent the candide and the crjohnson the same? and i agree with fluff. if we didnt have sucha screwed up legal system, we would not thave the problems with people sueing each other left adn right over nothing.

skiing is life

without skiing, i would have no life

east_coast_style i own 1080s and MSPs so i know very well how they both ski. your not gonna be able to win a skiercross on 180 MSPs, thats for sure.

Fuck. Thats what I was planning on doing this season. They have to be better than my 160cm K2 Slalom skis though, right?

I couldn't do it on my candides cause the bases were dead, but I could get 2nd or 3rd on the slaloms.

whoever said the MSPs are gonna eat up the 1080s all mtn clearly hasn't rode both skis before. the 1080s are KILLER skis. however the caveat is the fact that they are foam core and only certain riders can ride em, namely riders who are lighter in weight. if you are a light enough guy, or love a soft ass flex, the 1080s are killer skis and quite possibly one of the best skis on the market. there is a reason why salomon hasn't changed their design for the last few years. however, many ppl associate foam core with shit skis. i know the foam cores aren't the most durable either, but lets be honest, who really rides a single pair of twins for more than 2-3 seasons? most of the ppl on this site get new twins like every year. don't bust on the 1080s if you don't know shit about em.

 
one more thing about the whole 'press' issue here. and i'm going to try not to editorialize, but it;ll probably come off that way.... Manufacurers are starting to be eaten up big larger corporations. THis means that these ones 'true to the life' companies like salomon (remmemmber the force 9's, I loved those skis) have accesss to high out put, very experienced marketing departments, accounting departments .... all departments, that go along with running a global corp. These people, while I;m sure they try, will never be able to know what the select group of core riders (the NS people for example) really really want out of a company. THis is the attraction for people to support 4frnt, line, armada.... This is what makes the world go round, and which brings me back to my previous statement in this thread about the sport losing its , for a lack of a btter way of phrasing 'out law image' and more end up becoming more lifestyle like surfing.

Take a look at billibong, pac-sun, toy machine...all pretty god damn mainstream. and yet, for the most part, people around that side of things tend to still support them, regardless of their monsterous size, because thse companies still give back.

so to end this line of BS, support the folks that support you. All the others desirve to burn.

thank you, and good night

 
Justo you obviously dont know what the fuck your talking about... 1080's riding better than armadas or 4 frnt? hell no... maybe a tie... but 4frnt's and armada's hold up a shit load more than 1080's

As much on how 50 Cent looks/acts gay I have to give him some major credit. I mean he was shot, what 7 times? and still drove himself to the hospital.

1080s are good skis, they just dont last as long. when i was riding mine a couple years back, they were sick, but were skied out halfway through the season.

i wouldnt recommend them for anyone who skis hard and needs a ski to last for more than a season.

oh, and aside from the skis getting all floppy and such, they were bombproof. i put them through so much shit, but they barely even had a scratch.
