Really wanted to know more about these skis. Saw them but couldn't find much. If I even purchased these skis I'd either get the EP Vaporizers or the Batalla Park Reaper. Anyone had any experience on them?

the owner TJ of Batalla is a cool dude. I traded my 2008 macbook with him last year and he hooked me up wit a brand new pair of batalla all mtn twins. I didn't even know he owned a company at first.

They are hand made which is sweet cuz there not chinese shit. When my batallas came they were hot off the press and you could tell there super quality. The edges are beefy which is good and they were light weight. The graphics on them are by far the most HD i have seen out of any skis. Although i have never rode the park reaper i can vouch that it is for sure a trill ski.

I've heard that too but apparently that was just a rumor from what I understand.

How do the all mtns ski? Cuz I emailed them and he said the all mtns and the park reaper have same rocker shape and use the same press just different dimensions.

Bump. Emailed revisions. They said they aren't affiliated with epic planks. All they said was one of the four people from epic planks started revisions. Ep is still running from what I understand.

Yeah I saw that too. I'm not 100% sure epic is still running. The guy from revision just said they are not affiliated with them. They just have one of the guys from ep start up revisions. More will be explained when the website drops on Friday.

Update. I sent revision a email asking if they will be in the ep factory. They never said of ep was still running or not, all they said was
"We aren't associated with EP, so no, not using their factory."

Would still like to know more tho...
