He was rockin' some Dynastars last year...not sure if that's still the case. Freestylers ski on odd brands of skis like Hart all the time. They all seem to like to be "unique" :blink:

 

[Rushski]

Noticed a lot of men and women were using Harts in mogul competition. Hadn't really seen Harts around since the 80s...

 

[juicer9]

naa, i did notice a lot of guys using the hart skis though and a few dynastars but these were something different you can see them in this picture if that helps anyone identify the skis. http://foxsports.news.com.au/?from=ninews_leftnav
this is going to bug me until i no what they are haha
thanks

Can't find a hi-res enough picture to blow up to see. Looks like it starts with a "D" (and the logo seems to be a D), and looks like "otto" or "ollo" or something similar in the middle. Haven't been able to get any hits using any of those, though.

This is the best i could find

I noticed most of the mogul skiers were skiing with longer skis than I would have expected. it looked like they went up to their forehead.

contrast that with the guys doing slalom. they look like they were skiing with skis that only went up to their chin!

 

[ctenidae]

Veronika Bauer, Steve Omischl and Dmitri Dashinski all ski on them, too.

I thought I recognized the ID logo...I've only seen 1 pair before in my life. Japanese company and I've heard great things about those skis.

[SkiDork]

Actually it seemed to me that most of the bumpers were using Volkls

 

[JimG]

OK; FTO is FirstTracksOnline, another skiing site.
I also moderate a teaching forum over there and Ryan is one of my co-mods.

He's out of western Pa too (Holiday Valley?) and he has a buddy named Ryan also. Thought it might be you.

Just as I thought....Freestylers seem to go to the ends of the earth just to find skis that no one else is using...I'll never get it :blink: . My next guess was going to be RD's.

 

[juicer9]

well i have reseached the id one skis a little more and they seem to be a great ski with a solid base design to them(low maitnance) anyway the ski it self seems to be a great price its the shipping/ international shipping plus a 10,000 yen credit card transaction fee. I think im going to pass on these even though no one on the mountain would have them. My next choices are the k2 cabraler because of a great deal i found on them and the volkl dragon slayers. let me know what you guys think or your expirence with bump skis are. I need to find something now that im fully into this mogul thing and am getting a lot better my rossi b1's arnt cutting it anymore
thanks
ryan

 

[JimG]

The Dragon Slayers are a good choice; have heard good things about the Rossi Scratch too.

Dynastar man here.
