I went to a ski shop today, and i was looking at some atomics while the guy was getting my scratches and stuff in order, when he told me that Atomics Racing skis and some other models all have 'GOlF Ball' like dimples on them because Wilson Co-Owns Atomic.
Can this really be true? Personally i hate atomic like a saggy tit, but does anyone know anythign about this?
peace

golf ball dimples? ah no. it's called Texalium and it's to increse the stiffness of the ski.

as for Wilson owning Atomic, that's not exactly how it works. both Wilson and Atomic along with Sunnto and a couple other companies are all owned by a parent Company called Amer out of Finland.

as for Feeling towards Atomic Skis as you would towards Saggy tits......well to each his own, some guys like big asses maybe some guys like Saggy tits.

i thought the dimples where something to do with arrowdynamics and decreases air resistance
