all i know is that downey spriggs and rainville ride for them which is sick. However my friend won a pair of clint pipestars and they were the stiffest skis I have ever encountered.

If anyone has any questions about the PipeStars PM and I can hopefully give you answers. This is my second season skiing on them and I honestly have never skied a more fun park ski in my life.

Probably the funnest park ski I've ever owned. Klint makes a killer product. I love the pures

Who gives a damn about a team? It's about skiing, not watching other people do it.

Lol. Read the thread, he was not hating on KLINT.. He was asking about the quality of the skis, and somebody replied "who cares, they have a sick team"

Im glad someone can read! No hate, just asking questions. But if you are already defensive about the gear you are riding, what is that saying? ;)

haven't heard much about em, a buddy of mine is named clint and copped a pair simply for the name, after 1 season they're still going strong and he says they're super poppy :)

I used to be hard core armada (own ar5, 7, T halls, Alpha and TSTs). I was hesitant to get off of what I knew i liked but was too curious about KLINTs to not give them a shot. SO GLAD I DID!!! I am being 100% honest, the pure is the most fun, stable, go anywhere park ski I have ever skied...I LOVE the pure!! It is really hard to describe how this ski can feel so buttery (and light) AND stable at high speeds. Its crazy, the early rise in tip and tail make butters, smears, rails, etc. totally seamless, yet when you lay into the edges they freakn hold ALL DAY. Ive skied icy days at mt high and Bear and loved them- I also skied soft snow at mammoth and was freaking out at how well they cut through chopped snow. Speaking of chopped snow...holy shit the KryptoLITE is a freaking weapon! My LITES are one size too big for me (im just borrowing them) so I didnt try them in the trees but they absolutely MURDERED cornice@ mammoth. I made huge gs turns, as fast as I could go, through and over the chopped bumps like they were not even there. Like i said, they are a bit big for me so I didnt try and spin with them so I cant say how light they felt (in the air), but I dont care- I am getting some of these as soon as I can (only in the 182). I could go on but Im starting to feel like and infomercial... any more questions, PM me!

I'm 90% sure that Klint is owned by the same company that owns Rockstar, Ed Hardy, and Paul Frank. Pretty much someone with a lot of money trying to tap the action sports market. They might make great skis, but I just wonder where the soul is.

Yo Rocker... hey bud, not trying to get into a back and forth but i did want to clarify that KLINT is owned NOT by the same company that owns Ed Hardy, Rockstar, and Paul Frank ...but by French man whos family has roots in the French Alps. The only reason why he hasnt been in the ski industry until now is because he has been building up motocross businesses (his other passion or "soul" projects) since he was in high school. Lucky for us he has returned to his family's roots!
