I've only had good experiences with ninthward. My skis are bomber and perform well, and whenever I had a question regarding my skis, I always got a response through email.
Anyway though, that's not what this post is about. Just get the 181s and you'll be fine.
I'd definitely be interested in a larger size like a 185 or 187.
that probably would be a good idea, once they start selling at more retail shops and putting more skis out there. i also think it would be awesome if the live life came in something like a 182-185. i really really want a pair, but i'm afraid the 179 will be too little.
my friend skied on surfaces and the costomer service suckes they dont do what they promise to do! they owe my friend money and they wont giv it to him.
my bro has firstbloods, skiied them theyre a fun ski, i would rock them anyday. as for surfaces, never skiied them, and while i dont sport the tight pants and dont really know what the point is, i dont really care either. im sure surface skis are good too.
sure mik d may be past his prime, but saying none of their riders ever contributed anything to the sport? haha, come on lady, mik was the main guy behind the dynastar springblade technology that everyone loves so much. i think thats a worthy contribution
