Jeez, how many times has Spriggs traded companies? He started with Fischer, went to Nordica, then to Klint, and now with Batalla. He's like skiing's version of Jamal Crawford or Shaq

Actually, there is no defined rule on when to use a period for shortened measurements.

Just checked out the site. The park reapers look like a solid pair of skis! Really excited to see how well this will go for you guys. Good luck!

Also, sorry for the double post. But really stoked on the prices too! They're actually pretty affordable.

Wanna cut a deal.. ?

Best of luck, I think it's ballsy to do something in skiing.. you need to work hard on differentiation, which can be hard.

I would've called the company Janana myself.

Is it just me, or to the tips remind you of Moment's skis?

I mean, that's really cool, I like that design.

find yourself an old pair of seth pistols, og made n aks , public enemys etc. and go skiing around on those. K2s that are ridden hard have the dampest feel ever for a ski imo. that being sad k2 makes some durable ass shit.

I think it's more of the teams dropping him because he has such a bad attitude

Plus he doesn't really put out much content or compete, or do things that help promote a brand

I'm wondering this too...I wonder if it's how it pops/flexs in certain situations.

Im waiting for that along with the 12 episodes over 12 months thing that he said he was going to be doing... And I might be in the minority here, but I'm really over red green yellow color ways...

All Batalla Riders, have great attitudes and are willing to work hard, to do what they were asked to do for Batalla Skis. Attitude is what we look at first.

The Park Reaper looks a lot like the EP Heisenberg cut with better graphics.

What's the weight on the Reapers?

do all, of them, insert commas into, random and unnecessary, parts of their sentences?

When I think of places that would make awesome skis, I think about San Antonio TX.

Batalla skis is a terrible company with terrible customer service. I ordered a pair of skis back in November and still never got them, even with my season over. I was made several promises that I would get the skis, and never did. I should have taken my business elsewhere.

The people that run Batalla are less competent than the old owner of Ninthward

When I talked to Mike Urich at the beginning of the season he pretty much confirmed they're done. They didn't even have production to give their team new skis for this year, Spriggs might've been the only one but he was still riding a new pair from 2 seasons ago. They've had big problems with pullouts and I don't think they'll be able to fix the skis and get the company going again from what I've heard
