#1: Line invader, just because they are the sickest park tool and have Dope graphics.

#2: Line chronics, because they are sick for the park but still rip up all-mountain and have my favorite graphics of the year.

#3: Volkl wall, because they are absolutely tank so they are great for urban but their also great for park and, of course, they have a awesome top sheet.

#4: Moment reno jibs, over all sick ski great for park and just shreding and a great top sheet( although i liked last years more)

#5 Moment Josh Bibby Pro's, well i cant chose all park ski's if i were to get all these skis above i would need something for powder and backcountry so i picked the Bibby pros because they have a nice rocker and look like they would shred pow very nicely they also are the pro model of one of my all-time favorite skiers and have a sick graphic.

Nice post ...dope selections.

I have to agree with the graphics choice...close second would be JJs...Armada is looking sick Moments is looking sick but the Chronic bro, might be the best graphic this year...the greys and the shading..put a fork in it...it's done.

I'm taking tally every 10 or so thread and here are the results after ROUND 2:

ROUND 2 saw the inclusion of 10 new models and some major moves up in popularity...I'll give you the biggest gainers in ROUND 2. The Top 5 saw a new ski and also a shift in positions by Salomon and Volkl...and some new second round skis cracked the Top 10 as NS members continue to stay true to core favorites.

Also, I'll give you a break down of all the skis by company and may also include the Rockered/Reverse Cambered/Early Rise skis vs Traditional Camber Stat...very interesting where the industry is nicheing a skis into:

SO with the 10 new skis for ROUND 2...that makes it 40 in all:

1. Moment Josh Bibbly Pro - 27pts

2. Line Chronics - 23pts

3. Salomon Suspect - 21pts

4. Volkl Chopsticks - 19pts

Armada JJs

6. Line Lizzies - 18pts

7. Line Anthems - 15pts

Line Invaders

Volkl Wall

10.Moment Reno Rockers - 13pts

11.K2 ObSETHed - 11pts

Sir Francis Bacons

13.Moment Reno - 10pts

14.Moment Donner Party - 7pts

Armada ARG

17.4Front VCT - 6pts

Armada Pipecleaners

Nordica Jah Loves

20.Rossi S5 - 5pts

K2 Hellbents

Moment Tahoes

25.Rossi S3 - 4pts

K2 Kung Fujas

28.Amplid Cholest Rocker - 3pts

Salomon 1080

31.Moment Comi Swallow - 2pts

Volkl Katana

K2 Extremes

Rossi S4

35.Moment Rubys - 1pt

Armada ARV

Blizzard Reason

Armada AR6

Salomon Czar

Atomic Punx

The largest gainer was the Armada JJ +13...but the entry of both the Wall and Invader were +15 in their respective first time inclusion...Josh Bibby Pro still reigns supreme in your eyes and the argument between Rockered/Reverse Cambered/Early Rise skis vs Traditional Camber is very very close 22-18 camber over reverse camber...if I've counted this stat wrong, please let me know.

Still early...I'll update again in 10. If there is any other stat you want me to look at from these rankings let me know.

RANKINGS by SKI COMPANIES after 2 rounds..

1. Line w/ 7 skis a WHOPPING 92 pts....NS loves LINE

2. Moment w/ 7 skis also with a total of: 65 pts

3. Volkl w/ 3 skis totalled 36 pts...quite well w/ skis that ranked very high in your eyes

4. Armada w/ 5 skis came not to far behind w/ 34 pts.

5. Salomon w/ 4 entries w/ 26 pts

6. K2 w/ 4 skis also came in low surprisingly at 22 pts...their little sister company doing much better than the parent co.

7. Rossi w/ 4 entries also disappointing w/ 16 pts.

Smaller baby companies seem to be the choice of your future skis while big Companies like Salomon/K2 and Rossi are underachieving.

Stay tuned for 3 round results coming soon w/ lots of new ski entries showing how diverse some of your tastes are.

 

[Canuker]

YEA LINE!

 

[OLDFRED]

the more and more i think about it...the volkl chopsticks seem to be what i'm looking for...my hellbents are quite soft and so i'm thinking if this is a volkl ski it's going to be stiff ...

...and it's rockered and symmetrical....don't get me wrong..love my hellies..but to improve on them would be amazing also...plus they're great for picking up sushi.
