How did they fail building normal skis? Their skis are built in the same factory Elan skis are. Are you saying that Elan fails at making skis? You fail sir.

Taddle along, peasant.

Aluminum handrails and wooden handrails no catching! I've always wanted a pair of skis i could just use for urban and take the edges out of this solves the problem but i can see many things going wrong with this.

More parts = less durable

I can't see this working at all.

I realize this i was just answering his question as to why they would make it. Really cheap edgeless skis is a great idea.

you could just take an old pair of park skis and take out the edge underfoot.

I've owned a pair of Dynastar, Rossignol, Völkl and now Ninthward, and My 9s are the sweetest thing i've ever placed my feet on. So light and poppy, makes for such a playful park ski. My friend who rides armadas tried mine, and said they're pretty similar, but he preferred mine. Ayeee. Cool story. Right bro?

Any pics of the wakeskis? Good to see another company producing them as there are only 2 companies making them atm. Hopefully they will be cheaper than HO's and Stereo's skis.

That was sick but honestly wakeskiing is stupid unless u can go to a cable park like that. Behind a boat its dumb because its super hard to go sideways and get air. Wakeboarding is very fun behind a boat though

I could come up with a really shitty canned drink then have it make in the coca cola factory, it will still be just as bad.
