does he have dukes on them? it looks like it and with all that rocker it would be a pain in the ass to AT on them. But im not liking the graphic. i think he should do more stuff like the 07/08 bacons

dukes and skins, those topsheets suck compared to the 09 ep's imho
those skins look interesting, i bet he has quite a time trying to skin with those, the skis are so fat that there's so much edge exposed he must lose half of every stride

It is a complete pain in the ass, my brother has Dukes on his Pontoons and loves the Dukes but skinning isn't very fun.

hmm, i like this years ep pros and bacons more, but this is still ok. those gfx like 5 posts up are amamzang. skis dont look good when the graphics are too cluttered. thats why i like this years ep's so much. nice n clean n fresh :)

You don't really want to skin a rockered ski, that must be hell.

so i saw this when checking out the EP pros the other day, just seeing if anyone else has noticed. on the front tip of one of the skis (can't remember if it's right or left) the branches spell out "give". anyone else see it? know if it was intentional in ep's design?

his best graphics IMO were the original sfb's, the original ep's I really liked to but still not as good as original sfb's, simple and stands out, thats what made them so great

dude dont get your panties in a bunch, those are the topsheets for next years EP pros, he is not selling another "limited edition ski" which is a siick idea to get rid of old inventory that could not be sold. Lines got their shit together

Ya, I bet it will work for the JJ's due to them not being absolutely massive underfoot.

***UPDATE***

This is NOT a graphic being used on any of the 2010 Pollard skis as of now.

When I met him a few weeks ago I got him to show me the 2010 graphics on his iPhone and this is NOT one of them. The graphics however, are incredible! In each of their diverse forms, the three pollard skis are somewhat of a mixture of last years Bacons and this years Beths, a collage sort of design. The bases however... are something special. I'll leave it at that. I don't wanna kill the mans work.

didn't read the whole thread, so sorry if this is repeating something...

from what I know, these skis are just some of Pollard's prototype graphics that he has thrown on skis for different people. I saw these floating around last year at hood along with a pair of extremely burly rockered skis that were like 137 underfoot with the fist Sir Francis Bacon graphic. Wouldn't be surprised at all if these graphics don't end up making it into production.

The farther down pictures with the skis mounted on the wall definitely does them justice. In the first couple pics it's really hard to see much of the ski's topsheet.

I don't know any specs, only the graphics of the EPs and Beths, and there were a few pretty similar design options on the bacons.

you're an idiot- pollard blatantly says that the ski is the original anthem, and it's said on the website. i'm getting tired of people making a fit over this. it doesn't matter. if people are going to buy the ski they are going to look into it at least as much to see what the actual ski is.

I like the black ones that was like looking up at a dragon. If those are the ones you mean then yes, I agree with you.
