Okay, so this is opinion based...

It's a simple question. What is it that makes a top-sheet graphic a badass graphic?

Simple, solid colors, or one continuous painting. none of that crappy racing stuff either.


collages can be hard too pull off but work when done well. Line did this well with the invaders and TC's, last years masterminds not so much.

this has got to be one of the dumbest questions ever. And anyone who really thinks that it's an answerable question, is prolly pretty stupid.

Go to an art museum and see if you can can find any solid consensus on what is
"good" art.

Not sure if I'm explaining this right, but my favorite designs have a very complex subject on a minimal background (See Mr. Pollard's opus). I dislike overall complex graphics (see the K2 Press).

I agree. That purple and orange makes them look sick in the new Salomon Freeski. I also love the 4FRNT YLE. I like graphics that pop and kinda stick out, i guess.

My 191 Grizzlycorn Caylors are the only skis I regret selling.

Back on topic, I think that ON3P's veneer top sheets are stunning, and definitely my favorite top sheets out there.
