i dont get why everyone talks about salomon's team, but no one buys their skis. I'm only 14 so i got the flyer, but they work awesome. They work amazing on all terrain, park, trees, cordorouy etc!
 
that was my point, the only twin tips i've seen (my home resort is tiny) have been rossi or salomon, but no freeskiers use them. I saw a guy on my skis stugglin on the bunny hill and it made me sick, i also saw a freeheeler on thrusters, but no actually freeskiers
 
my opinio is that twin tips in general suck for real skiing, i prefer freeride or all mountain skis, even race skis at some occasion, when im not in the park, theres nothing like throwing some sick carves... im from the east, so i dont get much powder...
 
I've been wanting to say this. A few days ago at my mountain, it was demo day. So a whole bunch of reps came and they let us try and ski that we wanted. I rode the Foils first, and wow, i loved them. The foam core gives you more pop off of the jump and just, wow. All around, great ski. After i rode those, i rode the Thrusters. These are by far my favorite ski that i have ever rode. These create even more pop off of jumps than the foils. I like how they are stiff, but not too stiff. But ya, everyone should stop giving Salomon so much shit becuase they make sick skis.
 
i was saying that because the maker of this thread is 14 and is on the salomon flyer, a little kid ski. not saying anything is wrong with that. and no, my parents dont sponsor me. i bust my ass picking apples in the summer, 35 hour week to pay for my skis and season pass
 
salomon is sick...the hate comes form people who only go with "core" brands like armada, 4frnt, ninthward, etc.
 
i used to love my salomons (foils 174) but now i have tighter fitting boots i really feel the chatter (today wasnt the best day to judge though) the slop in my boot used to absorb a lot....i want something heavier, but in the air these skis feel great
 
its so bloody easy to sell salomons, and they arent too shabby for just the recreational skier or the park skier that just takes it easy.

not so good for the park rider that pushes it to the limits. skis break, but oh man they die quickly...
 
thats sweeet lets all buy skis made out of foam so they break and suck after two weeks!! better yet lets drop 700 bucks on it!!
 
word...im too heavy for the foam core which = breakage, it's fine for someone starting off not throwing down off huge ass kickers but i had some skiblades from them back in the day with the fom core and i broke those even so salomon's skis are on my shitlist
 
ive got last years teneightys,

im 15,

i like em.

plus i see people like sammy carlson and peter olenick quite a bit these days...

they rock salomon, and they rip like no other.
 
salomon's are sick...foam cores are great, they just don't have as long of a life as wood core which is why they're ragged on so much
 
I had Salomons for a year and loved them. The core did break down unfortunatly. (Leading me toward Dynastar) It did not take a day or week to weaken but close to two months of hard riding... which is over twice as long as my lines and 4ftnts lasted.

They also have an amazing boot. I've been using a form of the 1080 boot for the last five years and found it to be the most comfortable freestyle boot for my foot shape. Also the 1080 pole from a few years back has proven rather indestructible over time. I have to say salomon is one of the most well rounded companies and producing great equipment
 
I haven't ridden the new foils but I went from 1080s to the PEs and I find the PE to be a much more solid ski... thats just me, salomon is a great ski and was durable for me but the PEs feel great
 
um everyone... like every time you mention dumont, olenick, gagneir, cr, abma, carlson, douglas... your mentioning there team...
 
I think Salomon isn't bad, but it's still worse than k2 (I think so) so that's why I have k2's.
 
as i said, salomons are good for leight weight guys, but if you break 135-140 you need a wood core other wise they'll breakdown
 
right now im looking for new skis...im 5'4 125-130ish. basically what ur saying is that they would work for me cuz im not that heavy. i dont have the cash to buy 2 pairs every season.
 
agreed, i have the 1080s from 03/04 and i love them, never had any problems and they are holding up well

if you havent rode salomon skis and hate them, go try a pair, you will probably change ur mind afterward about hating the skis
 
Alot of the stores rent them.

Also unless you are planning to ride one ski for several years, the foam core is more than sufficient.
 
i personally have seen more than one salomon ski break, but from people who ski pretty hard. also, i choose to stick with my wood core.
 
Sammy Carlson uses salomon thrusters and skis 171 and he is 16... 180 is huge... by the way you're lucky that you're parents buy you shit.

ive never had a problem w/ the skis, the only thing that ive broken were the bindings and salomon has a great warranty for them
