Amplid syntax

Hey,

Stoked to hear you're considering the Syntax. For a beginner it might be slight overkill. Its full camber and long effective edge means it's a ski with a lot of grip along the entire length. For somebody riding big transitions with a lot of speed it's exactly what's needed, but actually it's better to have a slightly looser and more agile ski if you're just getting to grips with the park. A ski like our Antidote or Provoke, or the Blends from Line, might be what's best for your skiing at this point in time. If on the other hand you want a ski to tear-apart the icy NE groomers and launch big airs then the Syntax is THE ski! If you need any more advice on Amplid gear or perhaps you're interested to know what ex-demo skis we've got then get in touch. Cheers.

Thanks for the response! As of right now, i mostly ski groom and im also looking into hitting bigger jumps in the coming season, so i may go for the Syntax. However, as i said before, im a beginner in hitting rails, and i understand that the syntax may be overkill. With that said, would the features of the syntax be too much for me to handle/get in my way and slow my learning process, or would it be manageable for me as a beginner?

There are for sure more basic skis designed to aid the progression of beginners... More forgiving and less responsive. There aren't many skis that deliver the Syntax's level of performance. It's for sure an advanced ski for very competent, experienced skiers.

I didn't realize Amplid still made skis. Must be big in Europe.

Guess the marketplace is full of supernova brands blowing up huge and then imploding under enormous debt within a couple of years. We're just doing our thing with a sustainable size and marketing budget, but this year will be 13 years.

Congratulations on 13 years! I had the pleasure of spending some solid time on a pair of Antidogmas a while back (probably like 12'-13'). They were amazingly responsive and poppy - super fun park sticks that handle skiing fast & aggressive. Keep doing your thing Amplid, ya'll are dope

Hi all.
I just want to share with you all here my experience with Amplid. I got a pair of amplid ego trip evolution from the season 14/15. 1.85cm.
I was happy with them quite soft, but they worked fine.
My surprise was when couple of months ago loading them on the car, I saw that the top and the bottom layer were separated from the central part of the ski. I was surprised because the skis did not have any hit or core damage in the sole. Water went in, probably because of not well glued materials. So it damaged the ski.
I knew that the skis were off guarantee, but I contacted the brand, just to let them know.
They asked me to send photos, which I sent, but surprisingly they say photos needed to be lighter than 1 mega otherwise their system did not accept them. (¿?)
I did so, and here comes their reply:
¨Hi Joan,
Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately the ski appears to have broken due to an impact. Since your photos look like Pop-Art and you aren't able to send images with a smaller file size that don't, I'm going on what I can see.
But anyway, the damage is irrelevant as you haven't provided a receipt and the skis are outside of the warranty period. Therefore I'm not able to warranty your skis.
Regards,¨
So basically those ¨cracks¨ with their amazing system do not get high resolution photos (what about an attached file in a mail??¨ too much technology for them maybe.
Well anyway they cannot manage (or do not want) to accept photos with high resolution and then they complain, and they say ¨Unfortunately the ski appears to have broken due to an impact¨.
They criticize the quality of the photos but they do not let you provide better ones, and then they make statements of what happened, even if the photos are so poor with resolution. The skis have no impact. That´s it.
My conclusion is, bearing in mind what do they charge for the skis, and that they collapse in 3 years, you better go for something reliable such as Rossignol or K2, Black Diamond, Salomon or someone else who, If at least charge you, they respond, and have reliable customer service procedures.
I understand they can have failure in their production, but dealing with their customers if we were idiots, does not help at all.
Big deception with amplid.

I don’t get why your mad about skis lasting 3 years than breaking…
