and you dont put pressure on both tip and tail at once like you do when you skate also you dont put pressure in the middle when that is not the centtral part of gravity ie: the trucks and middle of the deck to bindings and boot right in the middle of the ski.

the surface area the pressure is distributed over is greater because the butter zone is so close to the boot, you can kind of press the whole tip or tail into landings.  vertical layer skis are going to snap before these will, teh butter zones dont create nearly as big of a surface area to spread out the pressure when landing.

Guessing that it's new tech, a good estimate would be that they'll be of equal or slightly more value than that of the Anthem's price.

Ski's are not put under the same stress skateboards are. The construction is apparently bombproof.

It is built like a skateboard, but its not a skateboard. Why do people think it will break like one? as a ski it is put under completely different pressure than a skateboard.

on skis everything is on the same plane besides tips which hold no pressure.

on a skateboard all wieght is held by the trucks with open space in middle that is unsupported causeing them to break.

nice try but though disgned like a skateboard not held up by trucks IT IS A SKI

people who think it will break like a skateboard dont understand basic physics.

a skateboard has contact point with ground, and has much more innertia(sp?) than a ski...as most of the ski is always on the ground...


where does a deck break?? usuallly in the middle, or tail, sometimes tip.

it only breaks in that area because of the direct pressure from the foot that is being applied at that area. this is completly different.

stoked to see how this ski works out.

The one thing I dont get is if the base is concave, The edges will probably also be pointed slightly downward. Wouldnt that make the edges dig in?

I just made a thread on this. But I talked to my the head person at my local ski shop, he's getting a shipment of the afterbangs in 2 weeks.

LINE AFTERBANG'S ARE GONNA BE $350. It was in the little price chart he had for 09/10 gear.

Really? Wow, I was close..I thoght they'd be slighty more expensive than Anthems. that does make sense, as it's made with less material than an average ski..
