Fattwins 0 Posted July 10, 2004 Author Share Posted July 10, 2004 I wanted to show you a vid but they deleted it. the rep says that before no one bought their twin which was pretty good cause of the graphics and they now think these graphics are hot and will sell like crazy. Great skis you should paint. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 They arn't that bad. I did like the 8.6's graphics last year but I wouldn't not buy the 8.6 just because of the graphics. But holy mother ****er are they pricy Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 that is because of the built in bindings. I really hate that. Im so glad atomic is going back the other way. Race skis maybe but pow skis with built in bindings are just a rip off way to make more money. Hard to sell them after too due to the set up. and heavy Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Oh I was talking about the Fischers. But yah I hate it when some companies make you buy the bindings. Salomon was doing that for a while and probably still are for their recreational freeride ski. I usually just transfer bindings over to the next pair of skis. I don't usually buy bindings.

Fattwins 0 Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 The fishers are built into those skis. atomic is not anymore. If you look the fishers come with fisher bindings which really means tyrollia. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Those Big Stix look like something the housepainters left behind. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Fisher needs a swift kick in the graphics department. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 It isn't that bad. I like it. It's far better than my puke green bigstix. At least they are getting a little more original than before and getting away from putting numbers and shit that doesn't mean a thing except to the tech who designed them on the topsheet. But then again I have no fashion sense. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I wish they'd just leave it at a couple of go-faster stripes, for skis and snowboards. Nothing looks more stylish, and you can tremble with excitement over which colour combination it's going to be this year. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 but toque 8.6 stands for 86mm in the waist. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Yah I know. That's okay cause that is it's name and well it rhymes. It's when they have many many many more numbers and nobody knows what they mean. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 The graphics dont keep me from buying a good ski but it does help to catch the eye a bit. Ill say again fisher makes good skis but the graphics dept needs the axe Link to post Share on other sites
