hey dude, ummm the reason why big pros only ride big name companies is because pros have to make a living. big companies equal big money, liberty, high society, faction, surface, all these little companies dont have the funds to sign pep or anybody big. despite what you believe about loyalty and going with the ski you believe in and shit like that, if stokoli offered to blowtorch the tails up on some racing skis and offered a pro skier 2 million a year to ski them, he would sign... o and on a side note, the stealths are ridiculous, i rode them yesterday, they are sick and they dont break...
