when u go to the website and click scratch it says 'follow the leaders', is it just me or do they have any idea what the fuck they are doing?

yes, rossi had its moment... but then they paid bode miller a million dollars and everyone simultaneously realized that rossi sucks again.

the scary thing is they will always sell a ton of skis based on name recognition only. Go figure.

Henrik Winstedt is still on their team, they also have Kye Peterson. Rossignol sells their carving skis based on name, usually people who buy twin tips will buy from whatever company their friend or some guy on Newschoolers told them to buy from cause they're all fucking trend whores.

i noticed in the latest issue of freeze that rossi have also signed kristi leskinen... anyways, if your weren't into brand recognition, then you wouldn't be too quick to judge an entire ski company as crap. personally, if i ride the ski and i like it, that's the most important thing. so, have you tried all the skis in rossignols lineup??? i think thats the only real benchmark... that goes for any company though...

but they had to send either the bc or the fs (one or the other) because both replaced the pow air and the pow air was supposed to be a slightly more all round ski...

ok enough shit talking... i know this is a site that mainly deals newschool. but just so everybody is clear... rossi has hands down the best big mountain team in the biz. also several sick young riders... kye,austin,spencer all like 14 and under and all are sick... also the vets, philou, and raps(even though hes washed up) and then henrick who kills the video segs. kristi, holding down the women
the team is just kinda in a transition with the lost of tanner boyd and julien, but it will be back,
also i think that steve said it, people are trend whores, just cause tanner dosent ride rossi anymore dosent mean the skis are any worse

^yeah no shit. they may not have tanner, boyd, or julien anymore but they still have a kickass team too. and for anyone who hasn't ridden the scratches shut the fuck up. i rode them all last season and they were awesome. they delamed a tiny bit and got some stress cracks and rossi warrantied them no questions asked. and i'm not talking about a 1080 delam where the whole ski is fucked..i'm talking just enough so you can claim they are starting to delam

Last season all I heard is 'SCRATCHES ARE THE FUCKING BEST SKI EVER,' now all of you are dissing them because they lost some riders to new companys. Seriously, you guys are fucked up sometimes.

Lets see, Oakden, Sage, Kristi, Bode, Kreitler, Moles, Evan, Peterson, etc...If you think there team suck your a dumb ass and if you think their skis suck...your even more of a dumb ass! Rossi makes great skis if you have a problem with that go buy something else to pose with.

I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE SKI, OR THE TEAM, I AM TALKN TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT FREESKING IS TO A COMPANY THAT SEEMS TO ONLY CHURN OUT PRODUCTS, AND SELL, NOT HELP AN UP AND COMING SPORT.
There team is sick, i have scratch bc's sickest ski ever, but as i said, they dont seem to care enough about our sport, thats why tanner, boyd, and julien left.

Tanner and Boyd didnt leave Rossy because the hated the skis and company, they left because the Armada startup crew wanted them on board and that isnt something you pass up. Tanner said he had an excellent time with Rossy, that they supported him and the freeski team and movement very well. Dumbasses, the scratch was groundbreaking for its time last year. Rossy is a tight company who supports up and coming riders but dont forget it is a company! They are doing the best they can while keeping in mind they have a business to run. Not many companies push the sport and progress it like rossignal so you should maybe not talk trash like that. Also, not matter what website you saw that on Petek, you would've come on here and been like 'Leaders? hehe yeah right' admit it man, be it Vokl or Salomon or Dynastar or whatever you've come on here and bitched because there really is too much bitching on this site. The day that someone says Rossi isnt helping the sport of newschool is a ridiculous day indeed. Why do you think Philou joined them? You know he was getting offers from every company out there and he spent almost a year searching for a company that he respected and wanted to rep. He chose Rossi. I am not saying they are the end all be all, i personally dont like the way the scratch rides, but i think you shouldnt trash talk their company. done

Yep, there is too much bitching on this site... go out and use some of that energy on something more productive... hey, go skiing, go get some fresh air... just stop complaining!!!!! Skiing is fun, we all like skiing, people ride different skis and like different skis, so lets leave it at that!!!!

Hooray, only three more short months till the 6month long ski season starts again in Japan!!!!!!!

they are a fuckload different. Rossi scratch has a thc core, while ar5 has a wood core. Rossi has a rubber grindplate, ar5 does not. Sizes are different, and so are the footprints. There is almost no similarity to those skis whatsoever. The scratch fs is known to be a softer ski with dampening, ar5 is a stiffer ski.
some of you still dont understand what i'm tryin to get across. Tanner pbly good mouthed rossi because he got a huge ass paycheck from them.

You need to look at this from a bussiness standpoint. because in the end thats all that matters to these bigger companies. First off Rossi scratch fs is a great ski, well made and a great ride, but because rossi is such a big company a lot of the freesking community was overlooked by them because its a smaller division and their main concern is there race division. The reason tanner left rossi was not because he hated the skis but because armada came along and could offer him more personal attention with they skis and the progression because armada is a newschool skier owned comany not a billion dollar company like rossi. that is the reason he switched, he has his name known worldwide in the freeskier comunity and by supporting armada he is helping the new smaller newschool comapnies get off their feet and make a name for themselves. so dont say rossi sucks, they are doing a great job with what they can for the money that our sport provides

I agree 100%, rossi is awsome, and Tanner Hall was just an Extra Perk for them. I'll tell you one thing tho, their site operators are lazy ass, because that site has been the same allllll year.
