I am just curious because for me its been Dumonts, LL2s, Bacons, Kung fujas, JJs, And I am now settled on my Night trains and chronic cryptonites. It kinda makes me sad too think about all of the skis Ive had.

one of their models were twintips. definitely not even close to being symmetrical but the backs went up.

started skiing in 08-09

175cm straight rossingol skis
downhill elan skis (still in use by girlfriend)
then volkl walls (i still try and break them......they wont break, just beat them against the boxes and rails...dont worry they wont break)
ninthward rory silva pro's - got them for a steal.....sold them for damn near what i paid for them
surface one life - rode these for a week in utah. said OMG. and bought a pair.

i'd like to think...i can use the one life's even in michigan. but 112 waist seems excessive.

I half expected it too be longer.

I guess I'll list mine:
Let see, well, there's a WHOLE bunch of skis that I had when I was a kid (started skiing at age 3...I'm 22...) so I don't really remember them. I'm just going to list the skis that I've personally acquired without my parents buying them (cause honestly I can't even remember brands of most of them).

K2 Silencer (the first ski I ever spent my very own money on - and I still ride them every now and then)
Armada THall
Volkl Wall
Armada AR6
Amplid Antidogma
Line Afterbang
Liberty Phil Larose Pro
K2 Domain

There are probably more that I'm forgetting.

Disregarding all the ski's I had as a child. (I'll stick with the twins)

I've had:
- 3 pairs of salomon 1080's 2x171, 1x181 (had the orginal yellow skis, vincent dorion and 05/06 1080's)
- dynastar concept 180 (I think that was the name)
- dynastar ski that came after concept 180 (some blue ski, was really good)
- dynastar troublemaker 175 (these got ruined quite fast)
- scott p3 178 (heavy, didn't like it much)
- k2 fujative (still got these, very good for such a reasonable ski)
- line anthem 178 (fun!)
- Salomon suspect 181 (fun ski, but the edges cracked in 3 different places, first pair of skis I've had that happen, shame)

Next!
If warranty goes through on the suspects (not holding my breath) I'll maybe give them another shot, otherwise armada halo or k2 domains look good.

Not going to back through my childhood days, just park days.
153 1260's (05)
164 Public Enemies(06)
171 Invaders (07)
181 Chronics (08)
Lizzies (09)

Then a bunch before, but I got the 1260's in 8th grade, Public Enemies at the end of the season in 9th grade, Invaders end of season 10th, chronics end of season 11th, Lizzies end of season 12th. Haven't bought another pair yet haha. I really wish I could have controlled myself and saved some money by skipping a couples pairs (didn't need invaders at all but I wanted them so bad). I still have the Invaders, Chronics, and Lizzies. When the Chronics die, back on the Invaders until those are well worn.

'03 Scratch FS,    '02 Scratch FS,  Scratch BCs from 04 and 05, then brigades in both '06 and '07, Armada AR5s in '04, '05, '06, then some AR6s in '07.  ARVs in '04, '06 and now 2010.   Seths in 2003, '04, 05, '07 and then then 2010s.  Volkl Walls in '08, Bridges '08 and even a pair of V-pros from like '02.  Fujatives and then other Fujas models in '04, '05, '09.  Line Skogens '03, Line Prophet 100s in '07 and '08 model.  4frnt MSPs in 2006 model.   I think that is it
