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

I wish i had a picture of these bad boys
but they were a pair of skis that my sister learned on then my brother then I learned on then I want to say they were Kastle yellow highlighter colored with batman on them... I also think they had look bindings. Couldn't have been much longer then 70 CM

mine were some super gangster 89cm rossignols with BALLA tyrolia bindings that had a pivoting heelpiece... totally rad.

My first pair of twins was the Salomon 1080 like just about everybody, but I quickly replaced that with my Line Motherships a few years later, and since then, i've yet to go back to narrow skis. God did I love those skis... such amazing days on them.

1st skis: Blue elan's from WAY back (ended up breaking a tail off from vibrations when my tips hit the snow loading ramp getting on a chairlift??)
1st twins: first generation line darksides (ended up delamming from tip to toe piece in after I hit a merging trail transition)
The first skis I started skiing switch on were orange rossi cuts and hart f17s, not twins.

My first skis were some Head kids skis. No idea what they were specifically.

My first freestyle/mogul skis were the K2 Killerbees. (which I immediately regretted not getting twin-tips)

My first skiboards where the 1st Mike Nick Pro Models.

My first twin-tip skis where the first skogen sprang pro models back in 99.

1st pair of skis were some plain grey rossis probably not even 100cm in length. the bottoms were barely waxed and had a strip of some sort of cloth that allowed me to walk back up hill as if i had skins on them. the fibers were matted down when going downhill so that they were able to ski.

first twins were 158 rossignol scratch pro fs. still use them now for beaters.
