OK yes, they are out of business, but I've got a line on some brand new comptes. I'm not really supporting the brand, but would it be wrong to rep these? If you see a guy on the mountain riding ninths do you hate him? I know I'm sounding like a little bitch but whatever, I'm curious to hear what the community thinks.

They arent out of business, they just restructured themselves and changed a lot of things manufacturing wise

I used to ride 9ths for 5 years and was stoked on the rory pro model. they rip and got nothing but compliments on people that knew who 9th were.

and yar they are hella cheap right now.

they're just some skis...as long as the company isn't a bunch of assholes wgaf if you ride them. I personally don't like their graphics too much but i've never ridden them so can't really judge.

Why the fuck are you worried about what other people think about your skis?

I heard the company was a bunch of assholes, and I wouldn't want to support them if they where. Also to the guy above me I care for the above reason, as well as the same way you care about what brand of outerwear you buy

the way i see it. Buying 9th ward ski's on level nine sports for under 200 bucks isn't supporting 9th ward. 9th ward literally made no money selling off their inventory to Level Nine. They most likely took a huge loss, and were just looking to recoup some of their initial investment for the batch.

I think i had to do with a production/shipping issue from that year. I ordered mine new with a super dope discount that they through me for remaining a loyal customer despite not having anything over a 176 for a year or two. They ended up shipping them to me like 4 months late, but they through me a tee and the discount was like 60%. Either way, cop em if you got 310$... coreupts binders are sick look px12s and they mount em with free shipping. Im always searching ninthward on here looking for old sets of the butterlicious. Love nines, cant wait to see what theyre chefin up for next season.

Real talk though, they need to get their website working. SMH, the new Rorys look sick.
