I know this should be in Gear talk, but will get more traffic here. Ninthward ski's have been kind of controversial with quality, but i'm thinking about maybe getting a pair of next years, Here is the 11/12 catalog that they already came out with.

Searchbarred and found nothing, again, don't kill me for not being in gear talk

dont the dudes from ninthward terrorize other people in the skiing community? it's like..... project mayhem meets freesking. i love it. i remember hearing something about them throwing snowballs at people trying to ski the pipe at a comp years ago. i wonder if they still do that shit..

dude, i got a pair of ninthwards this year, love them, no problems, not a single edge crack, and that is pretty rare to have after 15 days of almost all rails. my friend has a pair, on his 3rd year, no problems and he beats the shit out them, they are still perfect

most skis get edge cracks right away, after 1 season my k2 extremes had 11, after 3 days my friends armadas had 3, my friends amplids had 2 after 2 rail sessions, etc. ninthward's skis have much thicker/stronger edges, and the bases are a bit different too. overall really sick skis, super durable, light, poppy and fast, and look like sex

Am liking the true twin, seems like 9 is bringing their version of the invaders to the market. May have to invest in a pair of those....

My pair of first bloods are great. Ninthward makes some really good and fast skis. My only problem with them is that they are too short but it seems like Ninthward is taking care of that next year.

That's what I've been patiently waiting for, I'm definitively considering those for next season unless my invaders dont last.

To me they seem like they are based on armadas alpha 1 with the early rise. I will also most likely be investing in these.

The true twins look like the perfect park ski.
I'm definitely going to keep my eye on those next year; my invaders are getting pretty beat up and they look like a good substitute.

The urbans sound sweet. Also the early rise and Rory Silva Pros have the sickest graphics out of all of the new stuff coming out next year. I think I have a new quiver.

shit, maybe a little shorter on the true twins. i mean i was using 173 skis today but for park i'd like a little shorter, even if they are rockered. the HHP comes in a lot of sizes. they still look like cool skis though.

and i think thats a weird size change on the urban twin, just 4cm longer and pretty much 10mm in all dimensions. although these skis sound pretty cool too. then again, i think i'd prefer thinner skis for that.

not digging the comte graphic but i guess it gets the brand across.

Anyone have any real specs on the edges besides "double thick"?

Becuase honestly I fell like that is a bunch of marketing bullshit.

All around a solid ski. The double edges basically mean, ur not gunna blow out an edge first season with probably no cracks. The fact that they brought back multiple 180+ Skis is sooo necessary. Long live the 9!

i havnt heard much negativity towards 9th, but i was suprised to see that they were at SIA because i feel like they dont sell that many pairs of skis (at least in the US), and also because they were giving anyone that asked this year 25% all 9th shit and that they would be on there "street team"
