atomic is retarded. they know their skis suck and will break, so they give you three to cut down on warranties. retarded

no the idea make sense, but the principle is dumb.


if you are using two skis to the point of busting one, chances are your going to be using one new ski and one beat ski...how much of a fucked up ride is that going to be?

If one of your trips does break, the point is, you still have two to ski on while the broken one is sent in for warrenty.

If one of your 4frnts or whatever ski you are on breaks, you will be left with nothing to ride on while the broken one is in for warrenty.

furthermore, no ski company warrenties rail damage, or damage caused by "product abuse" such as landing way backseat and snaping behind the binding cause you're a lousy skier. its a fact.

Hey, ski whatever you want to ski, thats your choice as a consumer. But its pretty dumb and ignorant to knock a ski you've never had a personal experience with it.

first red flag, park skis by atomic. seond, i realise that the third is incase you break a ski in the park but honestly, unless you ski everyday and they break from usage or you blow shit and land on the tip, you shouldnt have them in the first place. get a pair of arv's

if they were trying to make sure you never had a broken ski, then they need to sell them in ten packs. I broke five atomic skis two years ago, and I'll never go back. The warranty was good, so I was just recycling through two pairs of skis the entire season. By the time I broke the next pair, the first would show up in the mail from warranty. Then I'd break those just about the time the warranty on the last pair came through. Good warranty, shitty ski

i skied the tweaks and really like how the ski, but they just dont feel solid. its a stiff ski, yes, but it feels like its hollow under my foot. i found this odd, seeing as how the ski i was usually on at the time was a salomon 1080, which is also foam core, and those skis have since seen over 150 days on snow and are still skiable. to me, it just seemed like the salomon foam core is more solid feeling than the atomic one.

wow, possibly the most ignorant person in this thread. the skis are so solid and awesome. and its not that they are planning for them to break, you just have another one incase one does so you're not stuck with no skis. makes sense to me.

well, if you have ever matched up the tweak to the triplet, its the exact same dimensions pretty much, i think the triplet may be stiffer, but i fucking hate tweaks. so go buy the stomps. thats the dope shit.
