Do you think Rossignol and Look ever look at podiums.......

........ and wonder why even their athletes won't ride the new axials? I mean when their riders would rather ride on old fks than take a newer version for free shouldn't that be saying something?

Fks is being re-released next season.  Axials are super sick for pow skis.  Fks is super sick for park skis.

so why did you post?^

i wont ride anything but turntables, ebay is the shit. this thread is a good call though, why would these companies put out products that their own team riders dont want?

word em up

i know alot of racers and big mt skiers dig the new axials, but i'd always wondered if rossi/ look realized they weren't catching on in the park. Looks like if they're being rereleased that answers my question afterall

They make products for the masses - not for a few people.

Our particular segment of the sport of a very small percentage of the overall target

The PX style is also much cheaper to make and retooling the FKS will cost a fortune - easily half a million.
