fuck rossis, there are so many better skis out there now....line, 4frnt, tm's, pe's...the rossis arent bad, but there are better skis out there. and if u decide not to get the scratches, dont get aramdas...i think they are just an imitation of the scratches...dont wanna get into all the details now...the aramdas are a lot more $ too....

so basically, my rant is that while the scratches arent bad, there are better skis out there for around the same price

if you want a little stiffer ski, go for the regular scratch, if you want somethin a little softer, then the fs

dude, if your parents are paying for half why not get the more expensive ski? the fs is way better construction then the scratch.

yeah, dont get the regular scratch if your parents will put up 250 bucks. get the fs or PEs (get your parents to pay 250 and pay the other 100-150 and you'll still have some left over), ive heard good things about the Mad_Trix too, which are pretty cheap as well

the reg. scratch is not stiffer than the fs there about the same. also the fs will perform better than the scratch in all conditions the scratch is just a little more user friendly, there both good but the fs kills the scratch... hands down

if u dont no what the scratches are then go to the rossignol website. then skis, then scratch and they have all of them. i wish we got powder out here in the east, then i would get the bc's but since we dont, fuck it.

i was lookin at the regular vs the fs too... i think the regular might be stiffer which is good for a 6foot 1inch 150 lb motherfucker like me.

its like compairing the 720 (scratch) to the 1080 (scratch fs)the fs is better regardless of how big you are... if your big then just get the bc's it will slay in the park... dont worry

it depends what length you want your skis and what kind of skier you are.

if you do lots of comps and stuff get the fs's.
but if you only go out for fun get the scratchs

I don't think anyone said this but the scratch fs has a THC core, opposed to the normal scratch taht doesn't.

I know that Pat that is the 5% difference.
just to help everyone understand who dont
there is the scratch BC
scratch (sometimes called the scratch eco because of the graphics)
and scratch FS
the latter two have the same dimensions and everything except the FS has a THC core which makes little to no difference
