I'm gonna say dumonts. The spks have targets and the thrusters are like wood/tanish shit.

SPK's - white and red ski with target, bullet holes and skull. Super slick.

Foil - sand colored with blue. Same killer all mountain jib ski.

the dumont - updated with added pulse pads (tip and tail dampening) with more lengths: 161,171,176,181. It's full wood core and bomber.

Thruster - new shape, new slantwall construction, wood core! Crazy grapics.

Flyer - new rasta graphics.

I thought Sammy's run was really good. I think the only thing that Candide had over him was that Candide's run was just amazingly smooth and flawless. Sammy had some big tricks, including the 450 disaster (twice), but Candide just rocked it as smooth as anyone.
