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?

Park_RangerYou ski on K2, Volkl, Armada, Revison, etc. at Keystone, yeah? Without those "8/10 kids that suck" most of those companies wouldn't exist in the first place. Keystone wouldn't have a park like what you're used to. Freeskiing would be nothing. So thanks "8/10 kids that suck" for playing a huge role in making your chosen lifestyle possible and for enabling your friends to get hooked up by companies. Again, get some perspective and stop hating on the community.


I also intive you to come hang out and get some perspective, not hating on anything I love skiing ill buy you a beer, I love skiing

K_DayI love skiing


Can confirm. So do all the guys that ride for revision. I don't think there are many more people in the world that love skiing more than dudes like Kelly, Spencer, King, Ian, Sam and Cappola. This whole thing has me pretty down. I hope this all works out, running a ski company is hard work and I could never do it again, this situation is the kind of stuff that still gives me nightmares.

hot.pocketWe can't do as well as Logan (baller move by the way), but we can help out a bit.

We have a surplus of last years models in both the Vice (168 / 178 / 184) and the Frankenski (168) that we can let go for $350. If anyone would like a pair, send us an email to info@momentskis.com with your receipt from Revision and we'll get you dialed.

We will be travelling to SIA this Tuesday (24th) through Sunday (29th). This will be the only reason your order might be delayed by a couple of days.


I would really like to take you up on this offer
I emailed info@momentskis.com and i just want to learn more about the Frankesnki

Also anyone have any experience with the Frankenski? I want to know a lot about this ski before i make a decision

People arn't mad at the guys that ride for Revision they are mad at the lack of communication from the guys that run it, it is not hard to send out mass email updates once a week, even if it is saying the same thing every week and they should give refunds to the people who are asking for them.

yeah that was probably mine

after considerable bitching and moaning they sent me another pair in accordance with their warranty at the time (last year about feb/march)

the replacement shits have been very lit and have 0 edge cracks after tons of use

shame the company is fucking up so bad, i actually am a big fan of the skis themselves

revision, if you ever consider giving a shit again, give me the company. refunds will not be issued, but you can bet the new topsheet on the 2017 Sauce Posse Promodel will be some heat

Shit happens....and if they would have had a tiny ounce of customer service and answered a single phone call, email, and not shut down all of their social media they wouldn't be getting this backlash.

It's been 5 months. They shut down social media. They stopped answering calls and emails. Everybody that bought a ski should 100 percent call their bank and get the charges reversed.

Please tell me one reason they shouldnt. Because 3 months ago they sent one email that said the skis should be here 3 weeks ago? Oh...wait that was coming up on a month ago.

they should be understanding if you've worked with that kinda of stuff i bet they've dealt with kids flipping tits like everyone here is doing. it happens what ive learned is this stuff happens if you be cool about it and be understanding most company's will hook it up. i know this is a slightly different situation .company's can't make stuff and have it be prefect 100% the time they are a new company too.can you imagine the money they are losing having to remake all the skis and a bunch of kids are bashing them in the process.

So they are too lazy. Word good to know! Also where Excactly is this blog you are talking about? And why would they have n9t send an email to the blog that says the updates will be posted here?

They said skis will be shipping early january. That means to your house not from china. They 100 percent should have specified that the skis would be leaving China early January. That's bullshit in my book. And quite obviously everybody else's book but yours

Proud owner of Frankenskis. They are pretty bombproof, I ski in Michigan so there is no shortage of rocks and branches underneath the snow and no shortage of rail gardens and they have held up great.

They are pretty stiff which means they have a lot of pop, which in turn makes them a super fun ski to ride. I have had a couple of awkward bails that would have broken other skis, but the Frankenskis just pop right back.

They carve nicely as well, I entered into a few races for shits and giggles (slalom and gs I think...I don't race) and there was little to no chatter and they were amazing stable and held edge overall.

The graphics are beautiful and the interesting shape catches everyone's eye on the mountain. Tbh I have no complaints about them and would encourage you to pickup a pair.

Shoey-SkiDoesn't anyone on here know someone involved with the company that they could directly contact? Ns is pretty big someone has to know someone


I couldn't find any info from google searching for individual contact info or company emails.

The co-founders are Bill Wanrooy and David Bartels, they amazingly do not have Revision Skis listed in their linkedin profiles, which is super sketchy, if I founded a company I'd have that shit plastered everywhere. However, one of them forgot to take the revision website off of his contact info. If you guys want me to I can send them polite message (so they'd be more likely to respond) through linkedin but it'd probably get ignored based on their past actions. I'm pretty sure they still are owners as reddy yeti did a podcast with them like 2 months ago.

The proper course of action for everyone who has bought skis and hasn't yet gotten a refund or had their bank reverse the transaction would be to fill out an FTC complaint (link below) . To do this select "Internet Services, Online Shopping, or Computers" then "Online Shopping" and fill out the remainder of the complaint. Be sure to state they have not responded to any emails regarding when the skis would be shipped in the comments section.

I'm part of a group run by Revision and we just got this message from them:

"Obviously the shipping situation of our skis has been an absolute nightmare and I understand your frustrations. It has been a challenging time for us as our business has experienced rapid growth, while unfortunately coinciding with supply chain issues. We have been heads down getting our hands around these issues and building up processes and plans going forward to make sure this never happens again. All skis are en route and beginning to roll into our warehouse via sea and air shipments. We will be shipping out skis as we receive them and according to order dates. You will see updates via notes added to your order confirmation. Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused."

So looks like we might be getting our skis after all.

JibberinoI have a hard time believing that a 10 ft drop straight to a rock wouldn't demolish pretty much any ski.


.lenconON3P has some pretty hard bases..


Truth ^^ I dropped 10 feet straight onto a rock directly underfoot earlier this season, absolutely sure that I must've fucked up my ski beyond repair. Took off my ski and checked and there was a nice gash but nothing that a little ptex couldn't fix. Moral of the story is ON3P makes bomber skis. This was on 2013 Caylors btw.

looks like that is just a mail box at a shipping store. Kind of odd that the 2 owners reside in Michigan, but they have a Colorado mailing address. Through some digging I found another "Bill" involved with the company, I think this is his house in Littleton,

Photo Removed.

probably a bunch of skis in there....
