I've only heard of a few problems with the chronics. Delam issues and stuff a few times, but no more than almost any other ski in that category. Its a lot better than the invader if you ask me... The skogens were basically the predecessor to the chronics.. right? Either way, I never got to ride a pair. The 1260's were way too skinny though. They felt like nordic skis when I tried them out once last year haha. Then again, skis have fattened up a LOT since then. I mean, the Anthems? the ARV's? Those are totally useful in the park, and they have like a 90 underfoot. crazy.

your sort of wrong on that one, Sir Francis Bacon was the Queen's royal investigator. Thats sort of how that ski relates to the lizzies. And since when is pollard gangsta? Sort of missed the memo on that on.

untill ANY of their riders step up, and really start to rule it.......then pollard will be the only thing they have. Matt Walker was the cloest thing beside pollard who could have been pro. Now he is on some Salomon sticks. LJ, and so are alot of the guys on their team....but they don't have the connections to get big parts in movies, or win huge comps, etc. If you want to be a pro you have so sell product like mad, and pollard does that.

As far as I'm concerned, Pollard could have 100 models just for him, and he'd still be better than anyone else out there. Who cares how many pro models he has, look at how much hes progressed skiing.

Bacons are alot stiffer ski, and they have diffrent flex. They are totaly diffrent skis.

Well that's a bit misleading. They're exactly the same concept.

well really, are the elizabeths and bacons actually his pro models? i'm pretty sure he makes them and designs them and all that stuff, but they don't actually say his name or anything and don't suggest it...
