Volkl Skis have gotten lame

If you look at some 2011 - 2013 Volkl graphics they look super sick but now they are all stupid looking poorly done minimalist designs, some companies do minimalist really well like faction and black crows but Volkl uses the wackest colours. Not to mention the decrease in the quality since they have started to manufacture all their skis in china not just their entry level.

I agree those look like pure shit. Last years revolt 95s looked awesome tho. I dont know which volkl graphics artist started getting raped by their father but volkl seems to have gone the full theme direction that dynastar did back around 2011 with the lame as shit “sixth sense” line of park skis. So fucking stupid.

damn tough crowd, i agree volkl historically speaking has lame ass graphics but these aren't even okay? some sort of dragon thing and some asian shit? come on!

as said i might just be biased by nostalgia, those are some good skis right there
 
This line up from 07 are some of my fave graphics. The ink brush landscape and factory wall particularly but the commuter train kinda cool too.

awful topsheets but the skis were actually really good so they get a pass imo

They were pretty good i used to have the superpipe which was basically the troublmaker but with cap construction and an extra 2 rails embedded in the base under the binding area.

i liked my old tms better but the sixth sense superpipes were pretty similar.

I still have a pair of dynastar superpipes
 
I owned all of these. I didn't mind the earlier minimalist graphics but I feel like they just ran out of ideas.

I orderd a few pairs of volkl skis for the season. including revolt 121 and 104. I like the graphics on them this year, but hey, liked the 2020 revolt 121..

Rumour is october delivery!
