“Changing the Game” Simply put, we want to change the game. This is the first of many designs to come. The purpose is longevity on skis vs damage from objects other than snow. We know skiers will want to ride objects, whether it be in the park or in the city Ninthward feels it is not the skis that choose what is to be skied but the skier. We want skiers to let go of the fear of ski destruction and ride what they choose. Ninthward will keep designing to this degree. We have produced two models with this belief in mind. The Home Wrecker and the Game Changer. The Home Wrecker is an edgeless ski, it is produced without a steel edge. The ski is designed for urban attempts only. It can be skied in a lift accessible park but we recommend at slow speeds only. The Home Wrecker is made for low speed urban assaults. Whether than be a 30ft wall ride, gaps to flat, or even stomping it out on pavement the Home Wrecker’s base is designed to take it. Ninthward will continue with this version and versions of the Home Wrecker to continually strive to produce the best urban ski possible. The Game Changer, is a novel concept, this is not a grind plate or a replace able edge ski, we just consider it to be a ski that has a plastic base. The game Changer is designed to last larger than a normal ski, it is designed to be abused on features, and once the plastic part of the base is skied away, bolt on a new one. If you are a park feature junkie this ski will be the choice for you, we will make the plastic base insert in a edged form if you want some bite on hard snow, or you can choose the rounded insert that provides a catch free surface.
