Salomon is a cool company, there way legit for a large company, they put a ton of effort and energy back into freeskiing.

Yeah what the hell was BOONE thinking?  I mean they didnt even try to make their whole team out to be thugs with guns like some other companies.  Intimidation really is the best marketing scheme out there.  And as far as no one knowing how the skis themselves actually ride,  I can think of another company is riding on online hype because basically the only ones riding their gear are the team riders.

dont go with volkl walls, fell apart so quickly and now i basically have no edges left at all they are completely ripped out. Allen, you said you have skied LINE invaders and anthems, how durable are they for you on rails? cuz all i usually ski is rails and im looking for something that would be more durable than my piece of shit walls

alright i'm just gonna throw it out there.


this is the gear you need to be a champion of the midwest:

Skis: Ninthward Mickeal Deshaneux Pro Model and or the Henrik Harlaut Pro, to help you dominate the park
Bindings: The Peak 14x by Tyrolia, the second most tortionally rigid binding ever
Helmet: Of Course a Bern Macon.
Hat: EC Headwear ... Duh
Gloves: Try some Troyans
Boots: Salomon SPK
Coat: Orage... quality where it matters


with this gear you'll be impressing the ladies and climbing your way to the top of the midwest ladder. and thats a guarentee

i dunno about that and the 8 or 9 pairs Ive broken, but they are super legit about their warranty program, which is nice.  I got 2 new pairs of skis a year from them for awhile, they cut me off though.
