Atomic Triplets, here's the deal

I was at the NSIA yesterday and found out the real deal on what was going on with these skis. Some of the information has already been posted but I'll tell you everything I know anyways.
1. Yes, you get 3 skis instead of 2. Each ski has a different graphic. The purpose of having 3 skis is if you break one or screw one up, you can send it back for warrenty and you still have a pair to ski with.
2. There will be 2 different versions of the triplets:
- Urban triplets: very soft flex, really sick graphics, city design, super light and 2 extra edges underfoot integrated into the base. What I mean by this, about an inch away from the edge, you have a second edge in the base to prevent wear and tear in the base of the ski.
- Air triplets: A bit stiffer construction, PINK graphics...and no they're not just for the ladies. And I mean PINK!
3. THE BIG SCOOP ON THIS ONE IS: they will be coming with three bindings...and no they are not ATOMIC! well sort of...It's a Look Pivot binding with atomic's name on it.
4. They still have the Tweaks but they changed the name, I can't remember.
5. They have a new fat twin called the PIMP. It's huge, it's fat and it's sick. Dark red topsheet with nothing too fancy but a nice simple design.
P.S. These cosmetics are subject to change, they are not necessarily the final products.

The bar codes on my skis arnt too big.. The triplets sound cool but we'll see the cost. Just to get three Atomic by Look bindings will be expensive!

$740 (US) x 2 (two sets of three skis=6 skis) / 3 (people going in on the deal each getting one pair of skis and bindings) = $493.33
I dunno, $500 for skis and bindings sounds pretty damn good to me.
I'll tell you where...someplace warm...a place where the beer flows like wine...where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of capastrano...I'm talkin' about a little place called Asssspennnnn...

yeah, its not 900 american. and atomics are definatly not crappy skis. they are sick. a soft atomic ski would be insane. light, and strong. however, the 3 ski thing is a weird idea. if you just kep one in your closet until one broke, it stupid, but if you had them all labeled, and rotated them throughout the season, they would undoubtly last alot longer. and, like said, 3 people could go in, and get a single pair for much cheaper than anything else comparable to atomic/look quality. id be intersted to see how it plays out.
i looked on google but all i could find was 3D Animation porn-sxmarty6

Yeah I guess thats a hot deal, 3 people for $500 per person... thats cheap! And your basically getting look p18 bindings which are expensive as it gets. I'm on tweaks and love them, I've always been a fan of Atomic, they keep pushing things forward even though they keep a low profile in freestyle.

the pink is only on the 172 the other sizes are different colors
it's not the Atomic By Look binding, I tried getting it that way but they can't reach an agreement with look, It'll be the Neox binding but I think we're trying to make it better and lighter for this package.
There's a bunch of other stuff that'll be told in the press release on NS we're in the proscess of getting all the details worked out
the Old Tweaks are now called the Deviant with a way cooler graphic, also the mounting platform has been extended to allow for center mounting for all foot sizes.
Stay tuned to NS for the whole press release

the atomic by look binding is pretty sick. im riding it right now and absolutely love it! so much better for the acl than the neox binder. only problem is it really doesn't need to be an 8-18 binding. maybe a 5-15 would be better.

Well Rex, its too bad about that. But at least your doing something to try and help progress shit. The situation you re in sounds familiar to what Mike Douglas was (might still be) doing when Salomon started making skis.

That's a pretty good idea. Unfortunately, they still need to come up with a ski that is worthy of wrecking. I dig the fact they are thinking abour us, the little guy, but making a solid ski instead of three 'OK' skis would be cooler.

isn't giving a 3rd ski like saying, our product is shit, It WILL break, so buy it anyway. If one breaks why won't the next. Better just give 4 instead of 3

when your riding hard, skis break...thats the way it is..maybe you hit a rock early season and pulled an edge or something..well, your not fucked, you still have another ski!
its a great idea, so stop ragging on atomic just because they arent a 'core' company, because my tweaks are jsut as great as the chronics and the ar5s.
