Hello everyone
I work at a shop in Maine, and I was just wondering what anyone thought about the new rossi free ride/park skis for next year. We're thinking about carrying them next season and i've never skied them before so I just wanted to know what everyone thought. We regularly carry Salomon, Volkl, Line, and K2 so what do you think about durablility, snap and response, etc.

And to anyone who hasnt seen next years stuff yet, holy crap. Everyone has stepped up their game across the board. K2 and Salomon have totally re-done their line and its super exciting. keep your eyes peeled...

If you are talking about the S4 it is pretty similar to this years Ghetto, so get it, it is a hot ski, or so I hear.  I am thinking about getting the S4 soon.

all of their product is super durable the s2 and s3 are similar to the classic scratch with a wood core(real butter) then the s4 is the same as the ghetto with the THC (triple hybrid core) really snappy and super lightweight, a great ski for big jumps and stiff enough to handle speed.
the axial 2 bindings are well built (not as preferred as the earlier turntables) and no problems with pre releasing. And of course as with all bindings the brakes break.(lol)
The boots are comfortable as long as your foot is sized for them, and they last a while before you have to start cranking them down. And for next year they have a two buckle boot coming out (similar to the spk, and krypton) but I don't firsthand how they are but its a very nice design.

Hope that helps!

I used to ski a pair of scratch pros and I loved them. absolutely bomber for me at the time, 2 seasons of abuse and they're still kickin. I wasn't a fan of last years graphics as much, but this year I love them. I have axial 2 bindings on my skis right now and I've had no problems whatsoever so far.

The Scratch Ghettos are such a sick ski, go for next years, or this years if you want.
