skkogens are sweet but I have only used mine once and they are already scatched ans shit. so they arent the most durable ski. Candides are cool but I have never used them

I would say that line makes sick stuff. the candids are rad too, salomon is played out. the V's aren't bad. Basicly what ever you can get works. They will all break after time. Freeskiing is brutal to gear.

1080's are indestructable. I dont care if I'm labeled as a sell out or any stupid crap like that. they rule. I can go faster then my racing friends on my 1080', ON ICE.

actuly about the 1080's being indestructable. I broke mine. Split the ski in 3 peices. Base, Core, Topsheet. So I duno but that didn't impress me very much

ehhh, i tried breaking mine so i could get new ones.

I didnt go to the extent of putting them in a vice or anything, but you know.
I threw them down on rails a couple times because i got pissed off. I have a bent edge in the tail, but that still doesnt stop them. awesome ski, if you ask me.

candides, and sara, u do moguls, right?, i would suggest the pow air moguls, cause they dont have much sidecut and have a good amount of the twin tip, so its easier to ride switch

someone said 'Head Twins' and I suddenly imagined the 'twins' off of Dude where's my car giving me head.
But for skis, definitely the Candides and the V's. Skogens if they didn't scratch so bad. Enemies would be great except for the low tail.

Real jibbers don't give a shit how pretty their skis look though...i mean so what if your skis look 'pretty' Someone else used the term cosmetics somewhere....that's a good word for it. Who gives a shit about the cosmetics of your ski

1260 cannot be beat fr pure jibbing, and for east it deals with out of the park perfectly fine, for me at least. I haven't really tried any others for long enough to judge how amazign they were.

I'm getting next years Line 1260's. They don't have a centered stance anymore (4 cm back this year), but they kick ass. Easy to control and just the right length for me.

Wtf? I dont get y every1 likes teh candides so much. Theyre the same ski as the concept. Ur paying an extra $150 for graphics and a piece of grip tape besides that they are an identical ski.

It's all about the Head Mad Trix. Stiff, strong, wicked carving radius. And if you get 'em mounted in the big air mode, you got more tail than tip (a la Jon Olssen) Makes them really stable switch. REALLY stable. And you can ollie like a sonofabitch.

Real cool skis.
