i agree with both nick and witt, and i figure i get my opinions in,
i think it was the best idea to start with fixing the construction of the skis, as there were a lot of problems with them, but a lot of kids pick there skis based on graphics, they dont know the difference between titanium, aluminum, tri-axial braid, and anything, they buy them because of the graphics and think they will look dope on the hill, from a business standpoint i believe after having a quality product the next most important thing it to make your product look good, if it looks medioker, people are going to think its medioker, every company steps up their graphics each year, look st some of the most popular twins, Armadas all have amazingly cool looking and intricate graphics, K2s have crazy hand drawn graphics, 4Frnt has colorful and intresting graphics and I think, personaly, that this is what kids are looking for, looking in the forum it seems like most of the kids just see the fact that the only thing changed on the skis was the color and the graphics tweaked with slightly, not one person asked about what was done to fix the problems we had this year or the new contruction of the ski, then again some techies, im sure, will care about that, but the mass public that is most freeskiers are more intrested in how they look then how they ride, as long as the ski is gonna stay on their foot and not get destroyed over the course of the season, their stoked they have a dope looking ski that they can ski, regardless of the quality of the ski since most are just park rats,
these are just my thoughts and im sure some of you will disagree, im just throwin them out there
