This wasn't the exact ski, but I think it was something simular to this. It was a long time ago, and I was a pretty little kid, so I dont really remember

First pair of skis EVER were a pair of Blizzards that my parents were renting from the local ski shop (sorry, couldn't find the picture).

My first pair of park skis were a pair of Line Masterminds.

I don't really remember what skis I rode when I was really young (started at age 2), a mix of rossi/dynastar and atomic I think. The 2003(?) orange 1080 was my first twin though, the kids version not the 181, same graphic though

these and the dynastar candides sure bring back memories.. i dreamt of those two skis so much

personally for me it went line snowblades (mike nicks!!), salomon 720s for a bit, and then line 1260s, the orange ones with a DJ on the back

I own these too and still ride them on occasion! For an old ski it was way ahead of its time. I think I ride my old Candide's better than my new Volkl's
