have you skied the skis? the speedmachine series in partcular are the most stable skis i have ever been on. and their binding system is the only really functional one on the market.

That's great if you like 'carving' skis. If you didn't notice this is Newschoolers.com. Nordica turned their back on the freeride market.

I own a pair. No argument here. They are the best boots I have ever owned.

theres more to skiing than the park... not the mention the beast is a sick ski as well. you'd get worked by any of them anyway

The Beast is their ONLY freeride ski. That's not supporting the market. Their ONLY athlete is Brad Holmes, who barely skis anymore. And yes, there is more to skiing you moron, but this entire site is directed at people who support the freeride segment of the sport and want to progress it, NOT ski on carving skis. See you on the groomers!

nordica is not doing anything for freestyle. i wont support them. there are plenty of great companies that make great boots and pay attention to freestylers and we we want. salomon, technica, lange, dalbello

depending on my mood, you might get a nice thoughtful responce that might make sense, or you might get complete jibberish that is not wise to even read. good luck

you wouldn't buy the boot if it fit best just because they don't support 'the freeride movement.' that makes no sense, you would sacrifice a boot fit for a more core name? dumbass. and who are you to say that people on this site don't participate in other mediums of the sport. plenty of people on here ski groomers and run gates. nordica is a ski company, and thats what we're doing.

We were talking about their skis fuck-chop. And if you want to talk about racers or carving skis, I'm sure there's another website that has forums for you.
Beast this.

just bought a pair of Beasts too. I also put on Head, Lange, Technica, Salomon, Atomic and Dalbello. Some were like claws on my feet, others were like 90% like the Head S10, and altough they may look cooler than the Beasts, I chose Nordica anyway.

Beast = good boot
Beast = good ski

Nordica makes good stuff bottom line (even if it is hard snow oriented). So what? Line is telling shops to sell twintips to more middle aged and past skiers to beef up their name...
