My first skis were just some typical Fischer skis.

My first twin tips were the blue and black K2 Juvy's. I loved those skis

These badass Rossignols from the eighties, they were like 60cm underfoot and neon pink and yellow. I got them at Goodwill for $5 with matching poles and little rear-entry boots when I was eight. I had the classic mini-gaper look.

reading some of these made me laugh

my first pair were red plastic ones that you just strapped on to your sneakers and walked down the driveway in.  my first real pair were black rossi straight skis with the red white and blue rooster on the front.  my first twins were the 07-08 atomic twins

My first skis were ome straight skis I bought at a garage sale for $11 but the shop wouldnt tune them because they were so old.  I never got to ride those.  I bought a cheap pair of Axis skis as my first real pair.  I dont think they even have a website and that one shop is the only place Ive seen them.  After 2 years on those I got rossi scratch pros.  Those skis were kick ass.
