their skis and boots look sick, if hes gettin paid more and has more input on their skis and boots, more power to him

they are just getting itno it and bushfield will probably help them get going and be a basis for their team. I wouldn't be surprised to see Nordica with a really good team and skis in a few years

Like I said in the other thread, Nordica makes good stuff, construction and quality. The problem is their graphics and marketing are crappy compared to all the other companies, so Nordica isn't "cool" like Armada etc, they are like Fischer, really good skis but kids don't think its cool so they buy terrible crap from 9thward instead and wear black people clothes. The Supercharger Blower is a sick big ski, im sure the park twins are also good. Hopefully they improve graphics/marketing.

Nordica ignitions are the sickest park ski ever.

i have rode them from may,

bit weak in the sidewall buit i like the graphic

the season after this the ski's are getting rider designed graphics and fixed sidewalls.

nordicas boots are better than rossignols by far. and if he has enough imput on their skis than i could see nordica becomeing one of the next twin tip power houses. they already have stefen for park skis.

yeh, last 2 yrs, nordica have been building some sick stuff. their whole range of skis has improved heaps - dont know if anyone rode the top fuel (not a twin tip, just an all mtn freeride ski) last year, but that thing was frightening.

Theyre stepping up, and rory'l givem good feedback about how to keep improving their twin range - which are pretty good already, but not well known.

demo'em if you get a chance

i've vomitted stuff that looks more appealing than nordicas graphics, but holy shit does their stuff ski well. the ignitions ski so much better than any other twin i have been on as far as east coast all mountain skis go, its not even close. you can haul ass full speed on them and they dont back down. if you're looking for an all mountain twin and you can get past the terrible graphics, thats definately the ski.

i was on blowers all last season and they're a fun ski, they are pretty shitty in super crud but i skied them all over the place. they're pretty soft so you can rip them through unexpected bumps easily without much worry and they float so nicely in pow. i have to agree that they are the ugliest skis i've ever been on but hopefully that will change

it's not because of money and that's a fact because i know one of the reps and he told me personally that's not why...he switched to nordica because nordica is so much more interested in their skiers and what they're skiers want and what they think will be better for the company. Bushfield is a great addition to jt and stefan and i think in a couple year their team's gunna be rockin

If Nordica got Ronaldinho, Armada, Line, Salomon, Rossi, 4frnt and k2 would run out of business in a week. But I'm from barcelona and we would never let him go so... good luck with Bushfield!
