If you can find them online post them, I didnt have a camera. Maden'AK is khaki colored with a wrap graphic like the vicious, lots of skeletons and stuff. The bottom is brown with red K2 and the torso of a skeleton. Pontoon is red and white with a float plane and PONTOON.

Another note, it was a private demo. I was in the lift line behind a guy demoing the Pontoons, when I asked him how they were I got no response because the group of guys were Japanese. All I can figure is they were introducing the new line to possible Japanese clients. The looked crazy soft when the line moved and of course they are just like Spatulas with respect to sidecut. I would normaly be all over these new skis but it was my first day with my new Seth Vicious's and I just wanted to ski.

Hmmmm, tapered I would say. The tail was tiny compared to the rest of the ski. The shovel was huge!!!

doesn't seem like they'd be quite as good in chopped pow as the spats with a wide shovel, but who am I to doubt shane's ability to design skis.

they have a massive shovel, and tiny tail, so they would be good, aslong as you're going forwards

i saw fujatives today at tthe store im working at, however i doubt they are 06/07...
i'll post the pictures very soon.

the base is almost the same as on the 05/06 - u can see the wood, however the tip has a huge circle orange K2 logo.

the top kinda looks like 05/06 pe's, however is brown and black with some baby blue details. hands, guns, handcuffs... just as usually. in some spots u can see the woodcore(element of 05/06 fujatives)
