Revision Messed Up

So, back in September I was looking around for a new pair of skis for this season. After hours of searching, someone recommended revision skis. They look sick so I got them for a sick deal during the pre-sale. There was only one slight issue, the skis ship date was "mid November" although that was kinda annoying I knew I wouldn't be skiing at all between now and that time. Fast foward almost 3 months and I still havent heard from them, so I sent them an email regarding the shipping. They said that they would contact me in the next week for an Update. They sent another email a few days later saying they ran into some issues during production. "Due to some quality inconsistencies, we made the decision to rebuild a good portion of our skis". At that time I was like "ok, well I would rather wait 2-3 more weeks for solid skis then get low-quality skis now". They also said they would send another email in about a week for a new ETA. I got the email this morning and they said the new shipping date would be THE FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY. Thats almost have way into the ski season. I'm disappointed because the skis looked so fun but theres no way im waiting that long.


But thats not all, they also gave me (and all other customers) a $100 coupon to there website. Sure I appreciate them going out of there way to do that because they definitely feel bad abut this whole situation, but $100 is not gonna keep me waiting around for another month and a half. So, what do you guys think. Are any of you guys in the same Boat as Me?
Could this issue possibly be the end of revision?

It sounds like a lot of people are directly impacted.

This site is an opportunity to organize.

tyrolSo for those scoring at home:

-Revision is still selling skis.
-They are shipping full price skis ordered in January ahead of the preorders that came through in August. Across oceans no less.
-They used your preorder money to buy skis, and they are selling them to someone else if they are willing to pay a higher price. Even if you get your skis, they have obviously put you at the back of the queue.

I hope this page of the thread gets read in a courtroom someday. Fuck Bill Wanrooy.


Great point. We can just hope that a lot of refunds go through.

Here's a team rider from today, still on last years skis obviously. Not only do they have god awful service, but the skis beefy-ness and durability seems poor. I was surprised to see literally a top sheet glued to a base, there is like nothing even in the ski. If they messed up this year in "quality control" what the fuck did they mess up, did they glue the base on upside down to hundreds of pairs?

I think just this season, had multiple pairs last year I know. They haven't been lasting like an outstanding ski, I'm actually pretty surprised they are still going, but they lasted longer than my expectations which are still pretty low

No tip spacers or core in the tips just means lower swing wight.

Just this season I had to retire my armada ARWs that I got in 2013 for a tail peel (which I ended up screwing them together and riding them for half this season anyway). But I rode the hell out of them and they took a lot of abuse last season from sitting in my ski racks and me not tuning or waxing them for over a year.

My point - It's shocking that his peeled in a season. I still can't believe I got nearly 4+ years out of my sticks, which I abused for the most part. Quality really matters.

nottyham4I live in Denver. Went to that address. It's a P.O. Box. I have a hunch they don't have a physical office whatsoever. I wouldn't be surprised if no one that works for Revision does so as a full-time job, but rather on the side. I have been in contact with the shippers out of Aurora (about a 15 minute drive from Denver) and apparently they cannot pick the orders until they are told to do so by a contact at Revision.


Well at least you tried my man. Maybe just post up a tent outside the PO box and just wait for someone to come pick something up.

Essentially we're working out discounts with those affected by this situation. Here's a quote from the original post....



"Hey Fellas,

This is absolutely devastating to read aside from Logan stepping it up and hooking up a few people so they can get back on the slopes. Following on his coattails, we're happy to offer at least something to help out more of our fellow shredders. It won't be as good as free skis but I think you'll be stoked non-the-less.

Go ahead and send us a PM and we're happy to work out heavy discounts for as many as we can that are affected by this situation. All you'll need is a proof of purchase from Revision and we shall go from there. "

I would totally take whatever the offer is. the issue is I probably won't be getting a refund so I don't have the money to spend. Super chill of you guys though and if i ever get my money back ill hit you up for sure

"these guys" are just two guys. And only one of them has repeatedly dined and dashed.

If you guys want to sue these two, do us all a favor and talk to your bank/cc fraud department and show them this thread. You can bet your ass that 100s of fraud claims will absolutely end up with a multi-bank backed lawsuit and these guys will never work in skiing again.

Took up Level 9 Sports offer for ski discount and picked up a sweet pair of Armada JJ 2.0. Coincidentally exact same dimensions(and price) as the Revision Subtractions I ordered back in October. Asked CC company for refund so that's in the works. At this point don't feel I'll ever see the skis which is fine as long as CC company issues credit. With many Colorado resorts staying open until mid-April and a couple in Cali staying open until July 4th I'll actually have the opportunity(if not the money) to try out new(er) skis before summer. What a concept--order skis on Thursday and have them at my door by the following Tuesday. Big shout out to John U at Level 9!

Welp this is probably my last weekend to ski this season and I still don't have the skis I ordered on September 1st. I'm lucky my $200 generic skis gave me the best season I've had in the park.

So, since the mass email blast of 'completed orders' back on 23rd of February (give or take a day) - has anyone received either an update/tracking number/skis (would be a miracle)?

I've sent another email to revision today chasing up a genuine update, however I'm 99% certain ill get the generic 'your skis are currently at our warehouse....' email.
