sickest ski ever made

 

[ijibgoremtn]

i absolutely never say this but searchbar this has been brought up tons of times

 

[.[sanhedrin].]

I posted a picture of next year's Lib's in the 07/08 ski thread. Check there. They look nice.

 

[skier24]

ok really dumb stupid noob question:

is lib-tech the same as liberty? or are they different?

 

[skier24]

okay thank you.

Quicksilver owns all this stuff

Rossi, Lib Tech, Gnu, Roxy, Bent Metal, and a few others I can't remember right now...

Mervin makes the Lib, Gnu, and what not but is all under the Quiksilver Umbrella.

so has anyone ridden them? are the soft or stiff. would it be bad to slide rails with the magine traction?

 

[JesseWest]

from what i hear the point of the magnetraction is so you cant beat the shit outta the edges and still have edges. theyre really stiff but fuckin solid as fuck

 

[freeski24seven]

any pop? and are they light?

 

[Tha_Grouch]

^they are mad poppy from hand flexing them.. and they have a pow pow ski this coming year too.

 

[freeski24seven]

damn so this is awesome. i should look into picking up a pair nxt year jsut want to hear feedback. who has skied them??

 

[freeski24seven]

where can you buy these? bump.

 

[SnowMedic]

my friend got a piar from one of there riders that were used for a year and they were still good as new.

 

[ijibgoremtn]

i saw them on porters tahoe and its a big sale just use the MEATLOAF

 

[cobra_commander]

another easy way to remember this is that mervan's shit holds togeather, liberty's don't

 

[caylorswift]

ive heard that they are having problems with durability, recommending that people buy 3 of them. personally, im really interested in their product, but after seeing pairs with gnarly chips out of the topsheets i'll wait a year or two till they get their shite figure out.

but you have no reason to listen to me, cuz its not like i talked to the libtech guys this past weekend at the Banked Slalom or anything.

 

[freeski24seven]

yeah whats up with the fact that you have to buy the 2 skis seperatly. somthing with lower half and upper half. whats that?

 

[freeski24seven]

tap

 

[sack]

didn't know they made skis...

 

[Sholte]

havnt skied them, but i hear there sick.

 

[SnowMedic]

if you buy them from a shop they are usually together

 

[reezyfbaby]

libtech is a snowboard company, so they want you to buy thier skis as if you were purchasing two snowboards. they only sell them in shops that carry snowboards too. pretty cool idea i think.

 

[invader7]

so light there amazing

 

[sack]

how did the magne-traction thing work out? I've been curious about that.

 

[Sharko]

you forgot Rossi, Dynastar, Look, and Lange as well, those are biggies

 

[caylorswift]

so, after i posted that... i rode them. and they have seriously changed the way i look at any other ski on the market.. the way they carve, on ANYTHING. they blast thru the chunder, and still love to go straight! have you ever carved hard enough to touch your hip, switch?! you will have when you ride these, insane switch control. feels sooo fucking good.

with that said, i am going to go to the factory here in the next couple weeks, and pick myself up a pair.

they will revolutionize the ski industry. NO DOUBT.

 

[sack]

Wow, I want to try that magne-traction now...!

I meet the rep yesterday at my hill and the 08s looked really sick and he said he liked them alot. There a pretty stiff ski and the magna traction works pretty good. He also said they are coming out with a full line of skis but only one will feature magna traction. Another thing i found intresting was how he said the magna traction didnt affect rails at all...i thougfht for sure it would fuck shit up.
