slow 0 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 My first skis were Kazama(went bankruptcy several years ago) and I liked it a lot. 3 guys from Kazama made new brand "KEI- SKI". Ogasaka has good reputation. Link to post Share on other sites

frannyo 2 Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I used to have some Ogasawa, I really liked them. My Japanese friends all told me how good they were too. Haven't heard the name for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites
Makoto 0 Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Ogasaka is the biggest and most popular. But it's mainly among Kiso (kind of old-school style) Skiers. That's the reason I don't take it, even though it's technically good. Actually ID-One skis is made by Ogasaka. But if it had been named Ogasaka, no free skier would have bought that.

Fattwins 0 Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I think Ogasaka could make good skis for everyone if they marketed it right. I have never seen them even try to market to freeskier. The idone is not fat enough for me. Link to post Share on other sites
akibun 0 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 When I was much younger my first ski was Ogasaka. It was 2nd hand and very old, even then! I think my parents still have it in storage. Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 I ride the vectorglide bold (telemark), and love them. Very light and fast edge to edge for a fatty. Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 How do these J brands sell overseas, if they sell them at all? I'd never heard of most before I came here. Link to post Share on other sites
