I dont give two shits if the money from my skis goes back into rental or race design. I dont care, as long as ski companies keep making sick twins then I'm set, and twins aren't going away. I'm going to buy skis that hold up. Now Burton, there is the ideal company, I support them to the bitter end. Great product, great team, great markting, good ideas. Everything they do is right, from the magazine adds, the riders, to the kick ass product, to the way they still care about you if your just some random kid and for some reason there product didn't hold up.
Also, everyone says that the money from twin tips doesn't go back into there design, well who gives a shit there good already, K2, Head, Rossi, Salomon, Volkl, Dynastar, they all make really good twins, they work and hold up and thats what matters. These companies come out with more twins, new twins, improved twins every year, so I guess there race money is going into twins and there twin money is going ito race.
Also, Salomon has done a hell of alot more for the sport than Line. Teneighty, Pocket Rocket, the first new-school team. I dont know why some of you dis Salomon, they have done soo much for newschool it's ridiculous. They took the original idea when others wouldn't.
