Does anybody actually wear these? I think it's because of the all red where there is no topsheet. But I just don't understand how they have all this money to have such a huge team when i've seen nobody ride them.

Nobody buys 1000skis because they are so expensive. Team is so huge because they have like 3 athletes and the rest of the team are owners of 1000skis.

Yeah. You would expect them to be somewhat durable because didn't the guy that made them leave and try and copy ON3P.

"the guy that made them" lmao its multiple people and you should definitely know their names, especially if you're thinking of Magnus. And they don't seem similar to on3ps so I'm calling bs on the claim that they're copying on3p

I meant to say guys, but hackel and magnus made good skis with on3p so I would assume that they would know something with durability.

It seems like they a good missed opportunity, unless I'm missing something. I imagine they would sell so many more skis if
(a) they didn't make a hard pivot away from street, and park to an extent, considering how many of their followers/potential clientele ride park/street
(b) the skis were more affordable, or they at least offered a more affordable park ski
(c) they didn't go overboard with reels, trending audio, engagement bait, etc

At the end of the day, I want to buy skis from a company that puts out team street videos, supports street skiers, doesn't make unaffordable skis, and doesn't have a cringe instagram. (technically speaking there's only 2 companies I can think of that meet this criteria lol). Don't want to sound overly critical, I do wish them all the best with their company.

yeah for sure, I imagine they definitely learned a lot and applied some of it to the way they make their skis but I think it's a bit of a reach to say they copied on3p. Plenty of valid criticism for 1000skis apart from this

I thought about and there's maybe 4. This probably falls into the unpopular ski opinion category and is just a personal opinion, but Vishnu and jetskis for sure, and also armada and line. Armada doesn't make team street videos (they do support some of the best street skiers obviously.) Line does sponsor a lot of cringe influencers unfortunately but otherwise solid company imo. on3p: too expensive. Surface: too social media focused with their daily posts, but good team videos. k2, salomon, and black crows could be focusing a lot more on team videos.

1000s are far more similar in design to something like a blend then they are to a magnus

I will add they set out with the intention of building a sustainable ski, to built it up to their standards means the ski costs $1000.
Having the ski cost this much means they need to market towards people who can afford a $1000 ski. Generally speaking the people who care about core street parts and cheap park skis are not going to be able to afford it anyway, so may as well create "trendy resort content" to appeal to the people who can afford their skis.

Hackel and magnus do not make skis. They are skiers. On3p makes all of their own skis. 1000 gets their skis built in a factory in Sweden that also makes RMU.
