ha ,i have a hard time believing this shit. if it is true then damn...wild for sure!!. my buddy ian hamilton used to ride for them for a bit and i was lucky enough for him to give me some skis for insane cheap.. got to get their park ski and their rocker powder skis for an insane price from my buddy ian. the original magic stix, and then the b1 ( same skis as the og magic stix, just diff graphics). well i broke all their park skis within a half season, really cool guys who work there tho and they sent me a fresh pair of b1s in like 2 days. so outa the park skis, i have one pair left that are about to die. then my buddy hooked me up with their first fatty , rockered pow jibbing skis . for got what the name was. but those og boone fatty s were a fun ass ski . till the tail broke in half after 3 days of rid-en them in cold ass weather haha, but they were sick skis, just shit quality. so basically from my and my friends perspective , boone just needs to build better skis and then they on for sho. get some of there durability issues fixed and they would be a sick ass ski .they can make em to be sick skis, they were always fun skis ,,till they broke. but like i said before , its just the quality of their old skis that gave them a bad rep kind of. but skill , it be nuts to have wallish riding for boone haha, its probably not but yeah, but up wally , you da man! new skis sooner or not.
