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:

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

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.

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!

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.

Sorry about the 20 questions, but:

Do you contribute over at FTO, or does a buddy of yours also named Ryan do so?

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.

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

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

Dynastar man here.
