**fat yeti** · 09-30-2005, 01:54 PM

I am just wondering whan skis people think have had great graphics and which ones were ugly.

Best
K2 Kahuna 2003-2004 much cooler than the maden
Dynastar Big 2000-2001
The Volkl Line up from this year Sanouk,Mantra,Gotama and Sumo
Igneous and Capital skis are great looking

Worst
Salomon any model just seem to be ugly except the old green ak rockets
especialy this years models except this year 1080 lab gun.

My Quiver is an Ugly bunch K2 Seth Pistol Rossi Axiom and Line Prophet

**runethechamp** · 09-30-2005, 02:02 PM

Best: Old yellow K2 AK Launchers (with SS sig)

Worst: All the new K2 factory team series skis with too much crap on them.

**robokill1981** · 09-30-2005, 02:51 PM

best:
Prior Powder
Elan M999
Armada's entire '06 line

imagine the karmic repercussions of stealing jerry launchers - my god man, you dodged a bullet...those graphics rule - also AK Rockets in military colors, BD Havocs and anything with NW Native themes (Karhu, Head) - note Fischer is NOT NW Native (and BFU at that...)

**Lok** · 09-30-2005, 07:18 PM

Best: First year Völkl Sanouk and Gotama (all blue and black) + the Wizard Explosive and Dynastar Arno Adam (you know, the one with the flowers...).

Worst: I don't like the look of most Salomon and K2 skis, too "funky". Pretty much all older Austrian/German skis have terrible graphics as well. I don't think the new Fishers are that bad. The Watea looks kinda cool.

**addict** · 09-30-2005, 07:39 PM

Best: Scratch BC titty ski. Kneisl Tankers and frog green 777s are understated graphics.

Worst: Legend pros are gaudy to say the least. Volkl get it so right, yet sometimes so wrong. The gold/red/black/white AX4s are pretty ugly (bling not withstanding). I painted mine.

**daveg** · 09-30-2005, 07:45 PM

Best: K2 Cheeseburger
Worst: K2 Cheeseburger

**Kya** · 09-30-2005, 07:55 PM

Worst was the second generation Big Stix. And they floated so well so could see them all the time

**Buster Highmen** · 09-30-2005, 11:14 PM

Coolest:
Dynamic VR17s.
Joe or Grained Igneous.
Dynastar S730.

**addict** · 10-01-2005, 02:08 AM

After giving props to the Tankers, just looked at the 05/06 Tankers on the website and they're UGLY!!! Oh man, someone better get fired.

**bad_roo** · 10-01-2005, 02:44 AM

Okay, I'll play too.

Best:
Wood Grain Fischer Big Stix 106s
Flame Dynastar Bigs
Tan/Orange Rossignol Scratch BCs (nicest titties, erect nipples on the base)
PM Gear Bro Models (I have received many comments while riding chairlifts)
AK No-Ka-Oi

Honorable (or Dishonorable) Mention:
Helicopter Volkl CMH Explosives

Robot Pocket Rockets

V.A.S. plate Rossignols

Chicken-Heart tipped Dynastars

Clear tipped Rossignol Quantums (so gapers can look down through their tips at the snow)

Neon glow on the snow bases (Many different skis)

Metal bars over top sheets (Atomic and Salomon)

Bullet shell rivets on tips and tails (K2)

Steel or Titanium Volants

Worst:
Most current K2 skis
Speckled Fischer Big Stix
Puke w/ orange Dynastar Intuitive Bigs
Atomic Pimps
Any almost totally white ski that is not a prototype
Any ski with a plastic tip protector that comes off
Pocket Rockets w/o robots

I loved those for all 3 hours I skied them before they self desctructed. And then Fischer warranted them with the next years model - no more cool wood grain for me...

I like my blue Phat Luvs, and the green ones were cool, but the pink - bleh.

Green flame B4s or Squads

I also love the bases of my Hippy Stinx.

**verbier61** · 10-01-2005, 01:24 PM

nice thread!

from pow 06 gear guide:
I like:
public enemies (particularly the one with a almost-like-lenin guy)
Armada ANT and ARV
maori fischers
big troubles
karhu PFD and team edition
missdemeanor

I really don't like:
dynastars legend, 8800, etc
salomons
atomic metron
scratches

I have always adored:
BROs
titty black/orange scratches
blue noodles. Their sorta of electric blue was cool
dynastar intuitv Big (and old flames, albeit less than bigs with drakes)
some old K2 with hidden skulls (called enemies in yurp, different name in US)

**bossass** · 10-01-2005, 08:50 PM

All you fuggers who don't like the new K2's are old and cranky. You probably don't like "RAP" music either.

I think the first SP was nice:
1. The ski seth really wanted
2. Real flannel inlaid.
3. Sex Pistols--do I really need to elaborate here.
4. Neon Pink--it was done well.

I do like the new Fujative too. Clear topsheet, clear bases, you can see everything the ski was made out of. Ride made a board like this last year.

Best:
Armada ANT and AR5 176cm
Original Armadas
Made'ns
PE's--The P-Tex is nice.
New 4FRNT MSPs and VCT
Rossi Sickbird--Why get scratch BCs when these are cheaper and have the bitchin' rooster. (even have boot center mark for mounting)
Atomic Triplet Urban (pic from Powder BG)
Extreme Big O--look closer
Orange/black scratch BCs
Red Nordica Wave 9.1FF (W105)
K2 Extremes--the ones with the black tops and neon camo bottoms, wanted these so bad back in the day
Salomon Lab 1080 CRs
Line Mothership from last year and one with boxcar
Evolution skis--they had a tele ski with a trout graphic
DBs
All iggies, espec. the new ones.
Spats
Newer Volkls, Sumos, Gots, Sanouks, Wizards

Worst:
Most everything else.

**meatdrink9** · 10-01-2005, 08:51 PM

I must admit I'm a huge fan of most of Volkl's line for this year. Great design. I also like the Line Prophet. The original Line Mothership was sexy as hell too (factory image and spaceship M).

Too many ugly skis to mention.

**Plakespear** · 10-01-2005, 09:52 PM

Best

2006 only)
AK King Salmon
Armada AR5
Elan 999
Atomic Race Stock skis with checkered flag motif
Rossi B4 (I like green)
Most Volkl freeride skis

Worst:
Atomic triplets
Entire Salomon 1080 lineup
Head's attempt to knock off Volkl's graphics
Elan MO2 (Even though I ski on them)

**jump** · 10-01-2005, 10:17 PM

Best: K2s Overall, and I really like the understated yet statement making 2002 AK Enemies.

Worst: Salomon
