Will Gus get Pro model coreUPTs?

I thought the idea behind coreUPT was that it was solely a promodel company, each different rider brings a different aspect of freeskiing to the team but Gus doesn't have his own promodel yet...

Is it gonna happen?

I'm going to say not this year,
I've yet to see anyone using core-upt's and i know i've only been skiing the east coast but still, i've hit up 6 different hills this year. So i'm going to say that core-upt probably didn't have the year they were looking for...
Second, Gus is sick, but has yet to have any crazy wins and generally for a park pro model you have to have results, he has a strong NS following but i doubt that's enough... so i'd say he'll get one 2 or 3 years down the road

why would anyone buy coreupt. There are tons of other companies that are trusted(salomon,k2,dynastar,volkl,moment,etc) so why would you put 500 bucks into a unknown brand. Also like stated before why not just by dynastars because im sure they have a better warrenty for the same ski.

yeh same on that, but I guess everyone is waiting until they have made their own factory. I fully support the idea but I won't wanna buy a ski that as is pointed out, nothing new and not really a pro model.

Next year it should be awesome.

I just thought the point of coreUPT was that EVERYONE had a promodel??? I could be wrong...?

by that logic i dont think anyone would have bought surface or moment. i dont think moment is that trusted yet. theyve been around for like 3 years dude. im not saying theyre not legit just not a lot of people know of them.

No small company would ever be "trusted" if no one invested in them. Plus, there's always the novelty of saying you had them before they were cool.

I think that their idea was that the entire line would be made of promodels, not every rider having a promodel.

Or why TJ's ski is the same as Candide's?
Maybe they have different flexes... but still

And if it went by factory's... everyone should be skiing on Elan's, but yet nobody does...

that's because people on ns are retarded and think surface/moment will make them cool, probably the same people who own macs

doubt it, remember dynastars pro models? pretty sure this is the same thing, just troublemakers with new graphics and a million dollar line up of super jocks.
