Hey...I'm new at this website...and new at buying my own skis. Can anyone give me advice on buying freestyle skis? Like what are good kinds (I'm looking into Rossi Scratch FS) and what is the difference between beginner skis and experienced skis? One more thing...what do you guys think of the Rossi Scratch? Good or bad?

i have the scratch fs, i like them, and they are really soft. if you are skiing mostly park the scratches would be good, but if you want an all mountain ski, i wouldnt go for the fs

yeah wait till next year, or buy something at the end of the season, because everything would be hella cheap, or go to e-bay and buy some stolen ski's. people who steal skis should be shot though...

So you guys would suggest K2 and 4 frnt
over rossis? And I wasn't planning on
buying skis right now anyway...i was
gonna wait for the summer sale at
Vertical Drop in Cincinnati. But
thanks for the input! If anyone has
anymore advice it would be greatly
appreciated!

ETsoccer, the best thing you can do right now, is to demo skis whenever you can at your hill. This way you can form your own opinion on skis you like, and know firsthand whether or not it is a good idea to buy them. However you may only find mainstream companies like Rossignol, Salomon, Volkl, Atomic and Dynastar at a demo center. Skis like Armada's and 4-Frnts most likely wont be available. You should definitely demo first, cause it would suck to waist your money on something you don't like. It also helps you find the right length of ski you want too. Good luck finding skis, rock on.

Definitely get the Head Mad_trix. Anyone who has ridden a pair will def. say that these skis are some of the best on the market. Also they are practically indestructable.

Well thanks for the input guys...I called the local ski shop, and they only sell Public Enemies for like $410 with bindings. So I'll prolly get those this fall when they go on sale. Thanks to all who gave input!!!

Well I checked those out 4skizzle...but they were a little to pricy I think to be my first set of skis.
But I'll look into them again just in case and see if them sell them at the shop.

I would def. go with some Head mad trix's, they are great. But yeah they are getting hard to find at least for cheap, so maybe look into some K2's those are pretty sick.

Try and book something from this year(or last year) whatever, not current year skiis-
alot of times the only diff is the graphics- I would nt spend over 275 for you first pair, ull trash em faster than you think(especially on jibs)how much all mountain do you ski-
btw, 1260s(park and mad trix(all mt are pretty cheap, and not tooo bad
BTW are you Eric Taylor, play for the Blast u15 w/lesh?
