Are Fat-Ypuses really light or is Adam Delorme just an incredibly strong skier

After watching the jiberish movie, i was amazed at how soft of a touch delorme had for every trick, and wondered how light those skis are

All of the above. Kid couldn't be more happier with them and if anyone knows Delorme they know he isn't gonna be remotely near anything he isn't stoked on.

delorme is the only reason ive ever visited the fat-ypus site.

the thing about delorme is, he will show you a selection of banger tricks that make you think wtf, and then leave you wanting more and not drop an edit for awhile. you never know what hes up to.
i think his nickname should be the dark horse

FatyPus skis are made by Never Summer here in Denver. Such a legit factory. They put out some really great product. They also help us with RMU, and Icelantic.

I dont know what all this buzz about delorme and hornbeck are. They cant even do basic triples. Bobby and Sammy have those down and there movie parts are going to be much more creative because they know how to win and how to spin. Why arent people asking about solomon skis the most durable skis on the market? You kids need to get learned style means nothing these days.

Hands down best ski i've ever ridden. Super light, super poppy, and really really fun. You won't be dissapointed.

Let's all make this post more noticeable to point out that Adam could use some more moola thrown at him.

We both ski, we both enjoy rap, and were both from the east I see nothing to fight about there.

How, tall is Adam? 178 seems a little small for someone around 6"3(ish?).
