not a photoshop, but weird that they only seem to make kids' skis. Also, I'm not sure why you think the topsheet is progressive, it's pretty cliche and looks almost exactly like an old Chronic.

Definitely the real deal. They're capped and only had kids size available at SIA. Palmer is getting in on the action as well. Pretty interesting to see where they go.

It was owned by Dwindle, which owned Almost, Enjoi, Darkstar & Blind, and is all owned by Globe. However it was sold to IE distributions or something. Basically W I sucks just as much as it used to.

Lame as AIDS. How can any ski that's 66 underfoot excell anywhere besides a slalom course?

I used to dig the whole flameboy and waterboy and skulls thing... when I was 10. anyways, all I've heard about about their decks and their snowboards have been bad things.

its good for promoting for the sport for sure, but do you really want companies like nike getting involved....they will totally commercialize it, and thats not really what we need. Just ski for the love of it.

the only reason they are still around is 10 year olds love the flameboy and water boy theme and the graphics on the decks adn clothes.  these skis will prbly make a whole bunch of little kids think sking is cool now cause WI has got in it and start.
