What the hell is up with K2's team? it seems like every year the whole team, with the exception of pep and seth, leave and they get a complety new one the next year and complete the cylcle again.

yeah stefan is super sick. he has been riding to nordicas like all winter. from what ive heard (not 100% sure though) i heard that K2 didnt follow their contract with stefan and that is why he dropped them... but again i dont know if that is right or not...

^ lets not pretend everyone who rides for a n "odd"company has been "bought"
people get offered the perks of a pro model, or the imput into building better skis down the road. Imput on everything involved w/ the process
sometimes the same money speaks louder when you get some creative control too
on a side note, the new nordicas are actually a pretty nice ride

as long as he keeps doing his true tails truck drivers, and switch awesomeness in the pipe, i dont care what he rides

Yeah... he's been on Nordica for a little while. My buddy got picked up by them as well. I hope Stefan really helps them, because right now they hype on "Brad Holmes designed out skis!!" and they suck. eggshell sidewalls... seriously, it was like PVC. the ski has a nice flex, but they need to work out the kinks, and get some durability issues under control.

for sure bacon...i just happen to know that he left k2 because nordica dangled the carrot thats all. I think the skis actually are pretty sick, and im sure hes gonna be getting involved with stuff for next year...so either way im stoked for him

from an athletes point of view nordica was a great move, especially for stefan. he was on whack ass k2, they wern't helping him out at all. nordica comes along without krusty lesbian, so theirs mad cash chillin. he gets on, has really nice skis, boots, cash and is the solo member to a team. this gives him more attention, instead of being under pep on k2 and riding on shitty bindings...

yo Stefan got screwed over by K2 they owed him a whole lot of cash for travel and comp stuff. + he was still on tehre am team after finishing 2nd in the world titles in pipe in park city. Hes been on nordica since the begining of the season and says he loves the skis they treat him well and pay him the $$ he deserves. NOw he just needs some adds in some mags to go along with his Vermont open win and his soon to be legandry Back Country Segmant in the new level 1 movie.

hey dude straight from me nordica didnt dangle no carrots fool, dont talk about somethin you know nothin about, I WENT TO NORDICA because k2 didnt wanna help me out, i got the vibe they wanted me to quit skiing, what i mean be didnt wanna help me out is this, no travel budget no retainer, they wanted me to work full time all summer so that during the winter i could spend my hard earned money from the summer on promoting their skis, to me that is being exploited to i explored my other options and nordica wanted to get into the, after i got second in world championships i called k2 to let them know of the news what did they "hook me up with" a fuckin game boy oh yeah i ended up spending all of that money from super pipe championships on traveling to promote k2's skis, what was my r

he's sick regardless of what he'd riding on, and nordica's a quality company, just because everyone and their mother doesn't ride on them it doesn't mean that they suck...
