I thought I'd just make a thread about this since I havent seen any on it and I was torn between putting this on gear talk or here but I decided here so.... Post all the skis you've owned/rode and put a * next to your favorite. Heres mine....

05/06 Rossingol Crappy series

08/09 K2 Silencers

*09/10 Line Afterbangs

Skis I've owned:
'07 159 Public Enemy-Long time ago served me well.
'08 171 Pipe Cleaner-I'm not one for park.
'09 186 Donner Party-Best Pow Ski, super tight turns and floaty.
'10 185 JJ-Kick ass all around I have 40+ days on them. I love them
'10 185 EPP-Soft as Grandpas dick but a fun ski in enough pow.
Skis I've ridden:
'10 181 Caylor-They were great loved the stiffness.
'11 184 Bibby Pro-Loved them but nothing much different from the JJ.
'11 188 Tahoe-I'm not sure I rode them down the bunny hill.
'11 186 Donner Party-Not any different from the '09. Super fun in trees.

JJs are my favorite by far, however, I might think differently if I owned a pair of Bibbys or Caylor.

2005 Line 1260 [153]
2005 Elan Mo2 [155]
2006 K2 Public Enemy [164]
*2007 Line Invader [171]
2008 Line Chronic [181]
*2009 Line Elizabeth [172]
*2010 Surface One Lifes [189]

Still have the last 4 haha. Invader is my favorite park ski ever made. Lizzies are in a world of their own. One Lifes are insanely fun.

Here are the ones I have skied but don't / haven't owned:
06 Line Chronic Wide [177 I think]
09 Salomon Suspect [172]
08 Rossi Scratch Ghettos [167]
09 Rossi S5 [178]
11 Rossi S4 [174]
HG Skis prototype park ski [178]
11 Surface Double Times [180]

I think that is it as far as park/ twin tips goes. Rossignol definitely makes the superior product out of everything I have skied. The Mo2 was an amazing ski.

proper grammar would be "ski's you have ridden" get it right bro!  and my favorite is a salomon 1080 from i believe 2006.. the foam core is super poppy!  or maybe i just think so because i have only ridden on other pair of skis

Before you call people out on grammar make sure you're not retarded as well. (There is not an apostrophe in skis)

2008 Rossignol scratch brigade
2009 Salomon Suspect
2010 K2 Shanetoons
2010 Atomic Patents
2011 Atomic Patents
2011 Volkl Kendo

My favorite all mountain ski was the Rossignol scracth brigade, it was a great ski for every thing. My favorite Pow ski would be the Pontoons, and my favorite one quiver ski would be th 2011 atomic patents because you can ski anything on these skis and they charge hard.

06 Atomic Urban Triplets - fun light jibby ski... and theres 3 skis in a "pair"!!!*
07 salomon guns - fun stiffish ski for the pow/all mountain
09 Moment Rocker - fun playful light ski
'10 volkl walls - stiff, very light, really solid construction*
'11 Armada JJs - just amazing everywhere, such a well designed ski!*
'11 Atomic Bentchetlers - very playful fun jibby pow/all mountain boards*

My favourite are by far are the JJs; i would cry if something every happened to them!

skis with a * by them i own/ have regular access to (ie the bentchetlers are my brothers but i borrow them from time to time!)

Also i have skied a bunch of race skis but i guess no-one here really cares about that so i won't mention them...

Disregarding any child and/or race ski I've been on for half my life. I'll start at my first twin tips back in 02.

Of what I've owned.
02/03 Line 1260
03/04 Line Mothership
06/07 Line Prophet 90
06/07 Atomic Thug
06/07 Armada AR6
08/09 Line Blend
09/10 Surface One Life

Of what I've skied.
05/06 Head Mad Trix
08/09 Nordica Zero
07/08 Salomon Gun
08/09 Armada JJ
08/09 K2 Seth
08/09 Liberty Helix
08/09 Line Sir Francis Bacon
08/09 Line EP Pro
10/11 Icelantic Nomad
10/11 Icelantic Keeper


I'm sure there is more out there. I can't remember everything now.

Most favourite would be the One Life. Hands down greatest ski ever made. I can go on and on about it.
Least favourite would be the Icelantic Keeper. Something about it didn't feel right. Might have been the mounting point (practically on the tail)

2009-2010 - Rossignol S3 Caia Koopman (Favorite. They are superlight, rips everything and is probablt the best park ski ever to learn new tricks on) 2010-2011 - Line Afterbang (Pretty good. Way to heavy and wide ski for me though. And it feels like death on the rest of the mountain. Stable on rails and kinda fun on jumps though. 2011-2012 - Liberty LTE´s (Getting them next season. It looks like they are real good, and sound like a ski for me)
