My first park skiing was done on Fischer rc4s, which is a race ski. Sounds stupid but freshman me boiled the tips and attempted to bend them into twin tips.
started skiing in 2019 on a second hand pair of volkl pyras. fell in love with the sport, went to japan and picked up a pair of ARWs from my boss. hit my first rail on the armadas.
Well, let's just say they didn't have a side cut. Head something or others. Thankfully shortly after being allowed in the park I got a pair of Salomon 1080s, which was not only my first twintips (obviously), but my first skis with any kind of side cut in general.
I started out on some old atomic race skis then my dad bought me some mantras , i really sucked at park. I remeber jumping over the rail and just tapping the end, like a pretty weak disaster, and I was Uber hyped on “sliding” my first rail.
fast forward to today
i still suck at park but now I have cool armadas ar7 the white n black ones no idea what year, cuz that I aquirer from a friend for the low price of $0
K2 Escape from 2003 ish. Got them un mounted in plastic at a ski swap for $120. They're basically the same as rental skis. I learned 180s, switch 1s and a bunch of grabs on them.
I'm wondering: anyone else in this thread who was hitting the park in the 99-01 Era also go through a shit ton of skis? I think in 2000 I went through 7 pairs (4 new twin tips and 3 old straight skis while inbetween warranty).
Salomon 1080, rossi pow airs twice, volkl v (I think that's what they were called?). I remember doing a switch 720 in a big air comp on old straight skis because they were the only things that wouldn't explode by just looking at them.
Hand-me-down Dynastar Trouble Makers from my big bro, was sooo freakin stoked. First pair of freshies for me were Fischer Addicts, my first symmetrical twin, probably learned all my first tricks on those in high school 🙌🏼

I had a pair of the addicts back in the day the white ones with green bases.
mikemacYessss dude first gen those green bases were so fresh, probably the most expensive thing I had ever bought at that time, basically my life’s savings 😝
