Glad they’re finally offering a ski between the 10 and the 120. Also those top sheets make me ooze.

Overall all positive for me. The 120 is one of the best skis available, it was time for shitty punx line to go, hopefully new park skis are better and that new 110 is definite buy for me as soon as I can get my hands on them.

Also Chris getting the job as design director or smth for all atomic skis is dope.

Atomic is clearly going to right direction

they look sick. really interested in how the 90 underfoot are. have only tried the 120 model.

stoked to see them make some new park skis, the punx were really outdated ski wise.

wrong dying ski website

bit of a hot take so get mad all you want but i think expanding the line is a little wack. I definitely understand the business side of it and i did see a need for a 110 but I thought keep the bent chetler line a niche sort of thing was pretty cool. Now it sort of seems like they are milking it for every penny they can get. The top sheets are dope tho.

I want to mount a snowskate on the mini

A 110 is exactly what the line was missing. The Blog was 110, and a pretty decent ski at the time.

I forget where I saw it, but I remember seeing a breakdown from Atomic somewhere that said the BC 100 was their top selling ski in North America for the season the year it came out. So I don't think it's every really been a niche thing.

And I don't really see it as a money grab. It makes way more sense for all of a brand's freestyle skis to share a common naming system, it's simpler to market and to sell than to have one line of narrower skis that are fun to play on marketed under one name with their own team and marketing plan, and then a whole separate line of wider skis made to do exactly the same thing but marketed under a different name and team.

Naah man, the 120 & 100 are some of the most popular skis right now and the punx line was outdated as fuck.
This is for sure the right move for atomic and will truly bring them back to freestyle genre.
I haven't considered bying atomic park skis since 2013 but now they're up there for sure!

The 110 is the first Atomic ski to get me excited in a long time, supposed to be pretty close to the Blog which is one of my favorite skis of all time.

they picked up tanner blakely and hes on the 100s which is cool

I'm happy to see Atomic and K2 going the opposite direction of Salomon and both have a full line up of freestyle skis with the Bent and the Reckoner series.

Its pretty interesting to me that the two series are somewhat similar, at least for the powder skis, 110/112 and 120/122 seems super comparable, while they went different direction for the park/narrow skis.
(Bents are stiffer and the Bent 90 looks like a super legit park skis while the Reckoner 92 is a beginner cheap ski.)

It's also dope that they're both doing it with sick topsheets
(you'll always have people who won't like the topsheets but at least we can all agree they're not boring, and that's a win)

We could almost say the same with the Revolt series from Volkl (including the topsheets part), but I think they're still missing a ski inbetween the 104 and the 121 to be complete (something competing with the Bent 110 and Reckoner 112)
