Replying to K2 smarter then armada and line
Been noticing all the hype with armada and line lately. However everybody seems to be forgetting about k2. They aren't 100% freestyle like line and armada, but they sure as hell are smart.
I walked into a snowboard shop with my friends, then a ski shop. I was amazed at the differences. For one thing, i could get a package, snowboard, boots and bindings for 279. While the cheapest pair of skis i saw in the ski shop were like 500, without bindings, or boots.
No wonder snowboarding became so popular, it caters to a bigger spectrum of ppl. Who are the ppl who freestyle skis are unnoficially for, younger ppl. i dunno about you, but i rarely see a 40 yr old guy on twins. Now who has the lowest pay, a kid, so instead of paying 650 for a decent pair of skis, without boots or bindings, what is he gonna spend it on.
K2 tho, i was amazed. The enemy i can get for around 300 bucks, can. The new public enemy somewhere around there. They of course are gonna make so much more profit, even if they get less outa 1 pair of skis, then line or armada, even tho i am not to sure about armada. I know you can get last years skogs for 325, but i mean this years skis.
Hopefully other ppl will follow k2's example, and skiing gets on par or bigger then snowboarding. That is the only way i can see it
if this makes no sense to you its because i am drunk now, but try to read between the lines.
sarcasm is a wonderful thing
