ive got toms old antidogmas and they are easily the best ski ive ever ridden even though the edges are gone. best feeling for rails and jumps. i would definetly get a pair if they werent so damn much money. oh, and the quality is retarded. talked to steve stept about um, and he says he has a buncha extras because hes still on his first pair...they dont break

my friend rides the 09/10 amplids teddy barely legal, and they are suuuuuuuuuper stiff. Too stiff for my liking. But the durability is insanely good.

The Rockwell looks like a fun allmountain/park ski, pretty much what I'm looking for in terms of specifications. Anyone ever tried this ski and know how they feel?

I skies the Rockwell all last season. Hands down one of the best skis I've ever owned. Super playful in the park, stiff enough to charge, rockered enough to float in pow. Really really sick ski!

Also if you guys havent see these photos yet check em out.

does edge ripping out count as breaking. Because I have never seen a pair with all there edge including my own which have 60% of the edge missing. started within 20 days

amplids durability is iffy ive seen some people with completely trashed after only a couple days and then ive seen some that have barely any problems at all. i trust amplids durability more than salomon or scott
