Some guy at my shop offered to sell me some rossignol scratchs for 380$ canadian. (new no bindings) I read some posts down on the list about people with scratch durability problems so are they worth it?

 
I would do it. Do you have another pair of skis? If not i would lean towards the BC's, they are better all around. I know people who have the FS as their only ski, and they have no problem with it. The FS is good in the park, really good. Nice and light.

Seeing as how $380 Canadian equates to about eight cents American, I'd say how can you go wrong?!?

For real though, there have been significant documented durability problems with both models of the Skratch. If you don't have another pair of skis, I'd put your money elsewhere.

On the other hand, it is a superb ski while it lasts.

The same deals going for the b.c's I just found out (same price) would you recommend it instead

(I dont have formal avalance) so i split my time 50-50 between the double blacks and the park

so which would you guys reccomend (also is it still worth buying)

 
I demoed the scratch FS today and I hardly did anything on them, just some rails and tried some 180's and i messed the bases up pretty bad and the top sheet was cracking and peeling at the edges. maybe they were just shit from demos but i wasn't impressed

the magazine is called 'POWDER' cool! - my stupid non-skiing friend
 
i would by some scratches for 380 canadian becuase thats 250 american so if you don't want them i will buy them off you

 
i bought scratches for $250 (american) if you look in any review magazine all the rossignol pro riders have said the ski is soo nice, and it rarely breaks.

wankstas hate on my true skills
 
ahahaha... check out the intro to happy dayz...

'rarely breaks' should read 'always delaminates and frequently breaks in half.'

Some kid who lived on my floor freshman year came into my room and said. 'I'm never touching the internet again.'

'why?'

'I was bored, and I typed in shiteaters.com, and there is actually a shiteaters.com... and they were eating shit. The internet is sick.'
 
buy them, and then if they break send them back. i got my scratchs last year in febuary from rossi, and then pressure cracked the shit out of them buy the end of the 02 season. then over the summer i sent them back and got the emproved rubber topsheeted ones. i rode them untill about 2 weeks ago when i cracked the tip. i sent those back and now i got a set of 04 scratchs. what i am trying to say is that they have a good warrenty so dont wory about it, the price is right too.
