why is no one realy paying that much attention to them compared to the other companies?? also, why does head still only have 2 twintip skis, which r almost exactly the same?

because people are gay and want a ski that will break and have your bindings ripped out of *cough*Line*cough*

Because head has spent almost no time on image or marketing and they dont have the greatest graphics. Functionaly theyre good skis and last forever, but they are a little on the stiff side

THey're a little lacking in the newschool market. When you think about getting new skis, does Head pop into your head? No you think armada, 4frnt, Line, etc.

head doesn't really advertise their skis very much they're probable are or are really close to being the most durable ski on the market and besides that people want a nice flexy ski i personaly perfer the "stiffer" of the twin tip because i hate going fast with noodles on your feet

Yeah if Head's were a little softer then I would consider buying them. I don't like Volkls either cause they are stiff as hell so I don't like them. They make nice GS skis though. dey is uber progressive.

Whats with your unnecessary bashing of Line lately. Did somebody buy a pair and have a binding problem?

Also, man up and get some legs and ski Volks. Just kidding, they're beasts.

lineskier-101 has it right. When you go to buy skis there are basically around 5 companies you look at.k2,Line,armada,4frnt, and possibly volkl. Head just hasnt changed there skis and developed new skis to cater for the Demand for the new types of skis in the newschool mkt like fujas,invader,phrophets,made'n....

You think that by having one of the most progressive skiers (Jon) more people would be skiing Head.
