Salomon AK Rocket Teamversion

Am I the only one who has seen theese puppys. I was at a shop in Val Thorens, France and he had managed to score a pair.

They're 191 cm and 113 mm underfoot :eek: . Salomon AK Rocket Lab Gun or something like that. I regret that I didnt take a picture of them. Very limited, I think Kaj Zackrisson has them.

They looket just like the AK Rocket lab 195 04. But they were red under the swollowtail, I cant remember if the normal ones are.

Does anyone have a photo?

Didn't you hear? Salomon use blind mountain nuns to make their team skis.

Yeah yeah

But isn't it strange that noone knows about them.

I'm only asking because my friends don't believe me and I would like a photo or a link or something just to proove it.

Kaj was skiing some 205 AK Rockets in AK last March. Those were last year's skis though I guess.

I read something similar here (in Swedish, written by "MnO")

I think I've seen a picture of the skis you mention, or the bases that is. They were red/orange under the swallowtail, had some blue dots/drops - like the pink ones on the original Seth Pistol bases - here and there, and at the tip they had the same logo as some of last seasons 1080 Lab skis have. They also seemed to be a bit wider than a 95 mm waist.

There are probably only a couple of riders that get them, methinks. I only saw pics of Zackrisson with the "Great White" a couple of years ago. No one else. That one also was an xx wide with a swallowtail.

I think that i saw them on Zachriassons feet last spring in Riksgränsen freeride competition.
Baby blue (like bromodels?),long,swallowed.

Or on the other hand, i might seen wrong the swallow part, and they were normal lab guns.

Those were actually the first prototypes of the swallows, from almost three years ago. Made a handful before they put the 195 into production. Kina is on them in High Life.

hop

there were some of the 205 swallowtails for sale in LL for $1000 con 916 but Mikey picked them up for a much better price (I hope!).
