they look pretty cool right? yea i know...

any ways, whats differnt about the addict and the addict pro?

well it has to do with the tips they are made out of some type of light carbon fiber meterial or something high tech like that,(tips are much lighter also making the ski lighter) so in theroy this should allow you to spin faster.

other then that they have the
-renforced edges
-tiatnium under plate
-they still have a clear base except this time its orange
-true twin
ect., ect.

still the great ski fischer won awards with last year except they made it even better.

so two more weeks till i can ski again and i cant wait

aside from those paint drips its a fucking unbelievably sweet looking ski. still good with them though. maybe bindings will cover them up a bit.

i could have sworn the addict pros were going to be 182 only. and the differance is that the addict pros have aircarbon in them.

i think you may be right about the 181 only on the pros... and the tips are made out of a carbon meterial so you are right there but it is still a wood core

if you are riding 50/50 the addict's are not for you. they're semetrical so they'll give you hell outside the park and are designed to be center mounted.

Fisher has amazed me. When I heard they were making a ski I was like, "great, now Elan's pathetic line of freeride skis has a friend!" After I saw the Addict I was unsure... and now with the pro, I'm clearly wrong. Thats a sick ski, and I might have to get a pair for my next park sticks.

no you should not get addicts becasue you aren't skiing over 95% park.

man...who wrong you are...Fischer has been making skis longer then 90% of the companies out there. The only brand that i think has been making skis as long as they have is Head. The problem is that they are a race ski company, their skis has been dominating the world cup for years, but now they are starting to see the market for freeriding.

i don't have them anymore, but last years as my one ski quiver i had a pair of kehuas, they were sick everywhere, as well as taking a beating on park rails. i had a minor edge blowout towards the end of the season when i hit a rock straightlining the winnie chutes (like 40-42 days in, can't remember). they're good, i sold them to billy, they are still missing the 2 inch piece of edge, but they ski fine, im sure he'd let you have a go at them if you ask.

to be honest i didnt like the addicts very much. I think its cuz im only 140lbs but they were wicked stiff and kinda heavy. The sandwhich construction was kinda bad cuz so much of my topsheet is gone. Also the titinal layer didnt help that much, i managed to bang one of my edges into my ski between the base and topsheet. Its probably cuz i suck though. I really liked the symmetry though thats a good feature.

Do you remember a kid named Deven Alves? From canandaigua?  I remember I was with him one day, like 5 years ago and you shot him with your paintball gun.. it was funny.

i think all the fisher skis are sick but the only thing i dont like about them is the fischer writing on all of them. reminds mme of racing it would be a lot cooler if  they just made straight lettering instead of the slanted lettering
