How can i tell the difference between the new scratch fs and the old one? What are the different sizes and what are the differences in the ski? Which one is better?

I believe there is a dotted line on them, for the center mount. Also the new ones are dull, and the old ones are shiny plastic. Niether skis are good, get some DYNASTARS...

I believe the old version had a shinny glossy top sheet. The newer one has a rubber like finish to it.

yes,
Old: glossy topsheet, one centerline, and continuous color of sidewall around tips and tail.

New!: rubbery dull topsheet, one solid centerline, one dotted, black sidewall around tip and tail.

I just ordered scratches and i was wondering if they are the old ones. So do you think that they could be the old ones if they have arrived here(Finland) in this fall?

the top sheet would have nothing to do with your binding rippin out, its just to prevent pressure cracking. if anything the old top sheet would be burlyer just cause of the fact that it was a hard material vs a soft rubber component.

they rearranged the layers on the new ones, it is much stronger now. If you have the old ones, and they break for any reason, rossi will get you the new ones.

if concepts are better, please indulge us and tell us why instead of stating biased oppinions. Different people prefer different skis.

my rossi rep took back the old scratchs and gave me a new set, not questions asked. he came in one day and asked if i wanted the newer version and i was like 'fuck ya' and he hooked me up.
