What Rossi's is this kid using, I believe they are the same as joffrey pollet-villard's skis as well.

Doesn't show it on the rossi website, and I can't seem to find these skis anywhere.

Fuck you Clap. I was wondering why they were not released on the line up in SIA, but I discovered that there wasn't much change to them. Also, most websites present the skiers they sponsor whether or not they are on the team.

not every kid sponsored by a company will show up on their website.

Not every kid who is sponsored receives skis from the next year, especially ones who don't appear on the website.

I do agree in the possibility in which he is sponsor and got a pair of 2014 scratches, however a more likely story is he obtained the skis from either a rep or friend who has a direct sponsorship. Based on his ability, there are skiers at a much higher level then him without sponsorships.

Well this guy does, he gets quite a bit of exposure from being in Westward and he podiums occasionally at AM events around Canada, but not enough to be considered pro and put on the team on the site. JDSC isn't on the site either and he get's next years skis sometimes, companies will give next years skis to kids who they feel get enough exposure, through edits, comps or both, not just to their pro or international team.
