Have a look at theese photos.... Andy's afterbangs seem to have moved to the same construction as the step ups..... Thoughts? Maybe next years afterbang or step up with a bang graphics?

Difficult to see from these pics but i can kinda see what you mean. Not sure if they would have changed the construction and shape of the ski but kept the same graphic though.

Do they do it to sell more of the afterbangs, even though that skier prefers not to use them? Seems dodgy to me...

it's most likely a prototype ski that andy was testing that doesnt yet have a graphic, in which case they slap an already existing graphic on it.

More than likely its either a prototype or its a graphic on an already existing ski. Either for the rider's preference or to sell more of that ski.

yeh thats not unusual for athletes to ride completely different skis to what they appear to be ... Pep Fujas uses the hell-bent with his pro model graphics
