I think i remeber a member on here's friend is doing the topsheet graphics for that ski.

It will be alot like the thruster i bet, but even softer. It should be a sick ski.

Idk if it would be a price point ski. I think the flyer and thruster are already priced for a budget. I think it will be more than the thruster and less than the spk?

you have a point sir...i still still think it will be like an invader but i think it will be less than the thruster bc the thruster is at 450 and it seems like the flyer is more of a grom ski? just IMO

yea but thats not what matters^

sammy carlson will become the public figure for salomon, he gets way more coverage and vid segments and does a ton of comps. he will sell pro models. charles gagnier could only sell a fraction of what sammy could. Im not saying charles isnt more deserving, but sammy makes more sense.

you bring up a good point and i guess from a financial stand point it would be better for salomon to give it to sammy

Salomon dont make true Pro models, neither do Dynastar, just changing the graphic and beefing up a ski doesnt make it a Pro model.... a  pro model is made from the ground up every single detai decided by the rider... Armada make true pro models, 4frnt , Line even K2 but salomon has always used the pro model idea and never doneit properly, Ie. the 1080 pro models Vinnie, JF, Pocket Rocket JP Auclair, the Dumont, ect. Salomon sucks they do good things for skiing but all they care about is money .

Good points with Salomon and Dynastar not making real pro models.  Head doesn't either.  The only ski I skied from Salomon was the gun and I didn't like it at all, it just felt weird.  I don't think Salomon is a bad company though.

thats kind of weird that dumont and sammy are gettin 176 pro models. kind of wish they were making more of a 178or 180 because the dumonts are pretty light and i bet with the wood core sammy's will be pretty light

What do you know about head?? the jo pro was entirely designed with jon olsson, the new flex pattern, the materials, the lentghts, the graphics, etc.

anyways, it says on that site that TJ just signed with dragon. interesting.

doesn't seem like "price point ski" and "pro model" go well in the same statement.

i dont know, i'm not sure how many times i could say fugative in a minute.

key word was "seems" considering skis such as THall, Dumont, JO Pro, JPJulien, Seth, EP Pro arn't exactly price point skis, but

hold your breath i'll get back to you on your math problem

right and my point was that it didn't seem fitting to give him his first pro model ski being directed as a "price point ski"  just a thought

Head I agree with.

But the El Rey? The lower end Salomons like the Flyer and Thruster? These are price point skis, sir.

Yeah it'll probably be like the thruster because in every picture or video you see of him hes riding the thrusters. In Seven Sunny Days on one of the urbans he is using some old ass pair of salomons.
