Those ones don't have it because they were made the year before line created the "ollie band", they were just given new top-sheets and sold this season to get rid of them.

And yeah, it doesn't really matter whether they do or don't have it.

^wrong line introduced the ollie band back in the ninja 1260. and also wrong that the ollie band doesnt do anything, its very dope and lots of companys use it now.

and its deffenately not un-normal for a company to change the graphics and use the same ski for the next production year the fujative was the same for years, the trouble maker was as well, the prophets have been the same, the scratches were the same for a long time....the list goes on and on.

Ayy. I suppose I got owned. Well, I guess what I thought was in relation to the invaders... I have the 07 ones without the ollie band, and it was introduced to the invaders and anthems the following year, 08. The limited ones were the ones made in 07 that got recalled, so they wouldn't have had the ollie band. Didn't know that it was in the older skis...

the ollie band is not noticeable at all, nor does it improve your skiing, and no those anthems do not have the band....those are the anthems from i believe '05 '06, just with different graphics, and the ollieband was introduced last year

i went with this years anthems over the octolands b/c i wanted the top of line technology. i dunno how much it helps but personally i still thought the 09 graphics were sick and i wanted the olliband.
