Ok so I recently saw a pair of atomic punx from 2013 and they looked great!! they were super flexy and the graphics were amazing!! so I did some research looking for the newer punx and saw that the graphics are now just boring, black and white, plain bases and I heard they are not nearly as flexy any more... Cmon atomic, get your shit together

I had a poll asking if you guys/gals thought they should bring back the OG shape and make some cool graphics again, cuz lets be real, those 2013 punx looked amazing

Obviously they dont affect how they ride, but its nice to have a ski that doesn't look dumb, and did you read any of the thread where i say how the old SHAPE of the punx was different? read before you type

Atomic made it 2mm wider and gave it rockered tips and tails. If anything the new punx are more soft than the old fully cambered ones.

Also, go ahead and re-read your thread and tell us you aren't focused on the graphic.

youre really gonna complain about a 2 mm difference to there proven slope/pipe ski that has multiple podiums? the punx is a staple comp ski that isnt meant to be "buttery ski" youre making a pretty big call out for a 2 mm difference that happened 3 years ago when they remodelled the ski by adding in the 10% rocker. complaining about a topic that is 3 years to old and im assuming you havent seen the new punx up close because they have a lot more detail in the graphic. just about every company makes a more playful ski now so just try one of those out?
