I will have limited access to Solly hookups this summer and early fall and want some of the new x-wings(?) or guns - anyone know when Solly starts putting up new skis for the next year (I know the falcons have already made an appearance)? I want to get on at optimum time if there is one...
if you want either the new x-wing (which is really :cool: 187cm, 101 waist, medium-ish stiffness) or gun, you better place an order in august or before...
dunno when they'll actually start to be avail, but they'll prolly sell out by sept. (just what i have been told based on pre-season orders...)
thanks - will look in Aug. Will the x-wing come in more than one size?Quote:

I did a search online, the sandstorms look sick, but not that good. I found this pic.

The one that I am really really interested in is the green swallowtail hiding behind all the xwing skis. What is that? The new AK Rocket??
looks like a retopsheet of the old favorite...
too bad solis are gay and all foam core.
^^^ you want gay foam core - check out that website - its a strange cross between euro "freeride" and van helsing...with a little circa 70s starwars thrown in...I'm baffled...
eh, maybe foam is good for powder, but even at only 170lbs i feel unstable on anything other than wood. maybe a little on the rossi microcell
:cool: oooooooooooooooooh, I want white 916s.

I guess Solly is aware of this misconception as well - perhaps they should write it bigger...Quote:

wow, is that a saloman wood core where its wrapped in foam, or is that a real wood core?
Bought a pair of skis off solly hookups last season, if I remember, they showed up on the site around Sept / Early Oct.
you just got played by alka. that is all.Quote:

Anyone skied to Sandstorms? My wife has the PRs and like most people find them noodly. Maybe the new xwings would work.

Apart from that, are the AK's unchanged for next year?
