I searchbarred but I'm on my phone so it's a bit tedious! What skis are they at during the intro of Revolver?
I remember something about it being the Line factory, SFBs, Prophets?

i believe its just a pbp like one only ski. i thought i saw pbp and the cursive "poor boyz productions" on the bottom of the ski.

But it'll be a standard ski with a clear top sheet and pbp on the base. Cheers guys!

It was filmed here at K2 in Seattle with ski builder Aaron Mathers. He's the man.
The ski was a LINE mold with custom PBP base die-cut.

This is what I was thinking. this is what lead me to think they might have been Bacons or Prophets... They look sick with the exposed core.

Sweet. Semi-unrelated, but I'm curious; what proportion of K2/Line skis are hand made/US produced? I'm not knocking manufacturing elsewhere; your product speaks for itself. I am just wondering.

100% of our skis are made by hand in the process you see in Revolver. The intro goes through in detail (and very steezily) the process of creating a ski and Aaron (one of our molders) hand models quite well how to do so. We're stoked Poorboyz wanted to show the world the intricate and difficult process making skis is and we're honored to provide them with the factory and resources to do so.

All aspects of our skis are developed (meaning engineered, prototyped, tweaked, prototyped again and figured out completely) in Seattle, WA USA and tested around the world. Our manufacturing is done in Asia (enter South Park quote...day tuk ur jobbbss) in one of the most state o the art factories in the world with the best materials, schmies can attest.

and that's the truth.

I did a research project on the k2 facilities in China, everything I found said that their shit down there is top notch. Probably explains why k2s remain the most bomber skis on the planet.

Yep, they pay better wages and treat their workers better than probably 99 percent of other factories producing anything in asia. Props to k2.

That last part is the reason I've applied for a couple design engineer jobs there.  I cannot possibly think of a more enjoyable way to make a living.
