I just saw Olenick's 1080's for next year and it looked like they had rivets in them like the PE's. Thats pretty bullshit to copy k2 like that so blatently.



I ski Killington

You guys are gonna love the FOILS they are totally sick skis. Seriously. They ride really well both for jibbing and freeriding.

yeah, the team riders need rivets to keep the skis from delaming until they get away from the cameras, and then the skis explode

Pirate steeze, arrrrr!

k2 started putting rivets in their skis, but it was a good idea so why not let other companies do it.

Yes the rivets are a good idea, but some companies are doing the exact same thing as we did. Kinda lame, but whatever. There are more ways than small cilindrical rivets to hold tips and tails together.

The Salomon's DO NOT have rivets. It was just done by each specific rider as stated above.

my 1080s have rivets in them, as did my old 1080s. i did it myself, so my skis dont fall apart any more than they already are.
