Doood, your an idiot. Any rocker technology is most definitely modern. Pull your head out of your ass and realize that your "modern" skis didn't start three years ago.

Not true. I didn't sell a single item. I was wrenching every single one of those years. So guaranteed I know much better than most what products have existed and how they work. You "Industry Folk" simply say what your supposed to say and rep your brand no matter what. Same old bullshit. And yes, I was in your clinics about "modern rocker" my first year in the shop. And I was no where near seeing the beginning.



So in conclusion, your a towel.

Because there are human beings in this world who are severely lacking in competence. I guess I would consider myself one of them seeing as I am arguing on a forum.

Word man. My bad. I just get frustrated sometimes because I feel people don' t pay the homage that is deserved to the pioneers of skiing and skiing technology.
