    2008 Skis...

    This might be old news but figured I'd post it up anyway. Found these pics on skipass...

    those middle rossi scratches are terrible looking. Are they trying to be as tasteless as possible with the design?

    They had a design contest in Whistler with lots of cool artists doing cool graphcs for the top sheets that you could vote on. I don't remember seeing those and I sure as hell wouldn't have voted for them, that's just me though, maybe I'm getting old.

    those clownish scratch bc's are the 'scratch steeze', 110mm underfoot. for dynastar the 'mythic rider' replaces the legend 8800.

    I concur. Those are horrid. Appears Rossignol is headed downhill and not in a good way.

    so is the katana an enlarged sanouk? it has a grey area that could be a swallowtail.

    Those Dynastar twins with the old Course graphics are tight.

    Holy shit, the retro Dynastar Troublemakers are sick! I think it will go right over the newschool crowd's head though....

    I'd like to see more retro graphics come back. Rossi should bring back the old orange/black colors. Freestyles, Rocs, STs, ect.

    Volkl's graphics keep killing it...that Katana looks petty $$$$ too.

    Of course, thinking about next year's skis right now is irresponsible...especially for those of us living under the "anti-jinx" cloud that is covering the EC!

    Those Scratchs remind me of an awesome acid trip on '87.

    Might prove to be a good commemorative ski.

    It must be a Rossi thing. I had a pair of RPM21s a while back and they were mighty ugly too.
    Not around much these days.

    FUGLY, across the board. Looks like ski company market research has been talking to too many suburban 14 year olds.

    The new Mantra graphics are tight, but the dimensions are slightly enlarged. Any word on other changed details?

    This is why we have graphics like the ones above.

    Thos katana'a look like a step up from the Goats based on the specs. The Sanouks only came in 193's...I think...those Katana'a have various sizes.

    Wow, something new to try next year...but I've got to get on some Bro's!

    Our world is full of surrender at the first sign of adversity, do not give up when the challenge meets you, meet the challenge. Through perseverance comes the rewards, the rewards that make life so enjoyable.

    Seize the day, trusting little in the future.

    if you want something, go after it. if you want to screw someone over, look DEEP in your heart and realize Karma is a bitch

    Oh hell yes....I've been hoping for the old school graphics on current boards for years...I'm glad Dynastar has the balls to do it.
