My friend just got a pair of rossi scratchs and they are definately sick lookin. But we are both hearin now that they arent as good as they look. A lot of people that have them say that they break really easily. Is this true or not?

the first line of them broke and delammed at the tail, but they fixed that problem over the summer.

I demoed some BCs a couple of months ago. They were a real nice ski. It was a pow day to and they were awsome in it. Didn't try them in the park but they did feel quite heavy compared to pocket rockets.

dude they had huge problems before with the screw for bindings pulling out of the ski. they fixed this an put in a plate. all the edges got super adhesive so no edge will ever pop out. the top is rubber and dampens the vibrations in the ski so that your ski will NEVER have pressure cracks. oh and the new top sheet basically can't chip. they are bombproof now, not a thing wrong with em.
sacrifice, to some its just a word, to others it is a code, what matters is the colony, he is willing to live for the colony, fight for the colony, die for the colony.

Beanie... did you even read the post? If you did, you are dumber than I thought. If you didnt, you are still a fucking moron.

Anyways. My 2 Cents. From what I can tell on my one day out on them so far, they rode really really well. I loved the edge bite on them, and they tended to float nicely ontop of the crud that was at Killy. Very decent skis, I'm happy as hell with em right now.

they are made out of a wooden coar thats why there soo heavy. but i dont think that has stopped any one from going huge on them. Now you just wont have to worry about breakin them like u would with the salomons or any other foam coar





all the bullshit that i see so much i can't believe grown man just tryin' to be true to myself impossibly i may not ever get rich might wind up diggin' a ditch i won't cry no i won't bitch i wont back down and i'll never quit it is my badge of pride -hardcore 'til the day i die just tryin' to survive i won't back down or apologize

Just how much heavier are they, not in terms of grams or anything. But how much more difficult is it to throw down inverts and crazy spins on them compared to others?

they are shit, the worst skiis ever made, i've had 3 friends brake them, and rossi won't warranty them, plus rossi makes their skis on indian reservations and makes the little alchoholic kids make their skiis for nothing

-If people don't want 'Posers' in their sport they should quit skiing and take up knitting. I highly doubt that anyone 'Poses' as a knitter. -Jibtech

dude, you want the truth? The truth is that everyone's personal preferance is different. Some people decide they are shit. some people love em. The only way you can find out if you like them or not is to ski on them.
