New Salomon LAB SKis?

**glademaster** · 02-17-2004, 11:45 AM

I lifted this from the old BB, sounds interesting, so I thought I'd post it here and see if anyone knew anything.

And no, I don´t mean the regular AK Rocket Swallowtail 195.[/QB]

Rumored, but not confirmed, I can get into the race lab stuff but not the freeride.
Heard something about one of the Crist brothers possibly using these.

Good point, smoking crack, don't mind me. Read a couple of articles last night, confusing a few I guess.

Idris had mentioned that he's seen Salomon pros riding the true pro-model that was a 110-waisted 205cm monster in Cham.

Bigger, stiffer and longer

That one is avail this year on a limited run for retialers the one discussed is a athleate only version

**FigureEleven** · 02-20-2004, 01:00 AM

The pictured ski is just the S-Lab Rocket. The team swallow tail rocket is wider and longer. It would be great to see a pic of the real thing though

**bad_roo** · 02-20-2004, 01:01 AM

Think of it as a LABia Majora.

**mntlion** · 05-17-2004, 10:08 AM

Didnt someone on the board snap some pictures of a pair they saw in a tram somewhere in Yurp? I seem to remember them being 205s.

**CaddyDaddy77** · 05-17-2004, 10:57 AM

That was Tom, I don't know if the 205 was confirmed, but it was rumored.

Those look like the real deal though, I need $800.

**Idris** · 05-17-2004, 11:45 AM

Confirmed
