HELP! +K

[Ryley*]

Well i am writing a report on how freestyle skis have changed overtime and i cannot seem to get much information other than my background knowledge from ski movies. What i need to know is:

• The cost of about 5 different times of skis

• The change in aesthetics of 5 different "eras" of skis

• The convince of 5

• The usability of 5

• The effectiveness of 5

Help is greatly appreciated and +k for any help

i can think of maybe 4 era's of skiing, and thats a stretch.

1. the beginning, like whirlybirds and spread eagles in the moguls

2. the beginning of new school, jp and friends invent the solomon 1080, shit was cash.

3. Freesking renaissance, 2003-2009 when we were realizing just what was possible with these dub planks, new stuff pretty much every year. rise of companies like armada and line (big names

4. now, modern era, 09-12, dialing everything down, progression has slowed down, and its more about style and cleanliness. but more and more people are beginning to ski, and smaller, newer, edgier, companies emerge like saga and jiberish, as big name companies, and challenge the older one

basically from this

to this

hope that helps, you could include a section as like a precursor to freestyle skiing, get you up to 5 sections.

Accroski was pretty popular in the 80's and 90's too I believe.
