Then:
 
The history of mot?rhead.
1975
Fired from Hawkwind after a drugs bust going into Canada, Lemmy Kilmister returned to London. Determined to start his own band to avoid being fired again, he decided it would be called 'Bastard,' but management overuled and 'Motorhead,' a song Lemmy had written as a B-side for Hawkwind, was born. With drummer, Lucas Fox and Pink Fairies guitarist, Larry Wallis, and Lemmy on bass and vocals, Motorhead began gigging and recorded their first album, which their record company refused to release at the time, (it later emerged in 1980 as 'On Parole').

Now:
2010
With Spring and Summer seeing road-work in all the usual places, Motorhead sat down to make their latest album 'The World Is Yours' once again with Cameron Webb at the production/mixing and engineering helm in LA. Phil Campbell embarked upon a difficult personal journey when his father fell gravely ill, and he returned to Wales, UK where he recorded the guitar for the album. The resultant album showcases some of the band's best work in years, with richer, thicker guitar tones augmenting the classic Motorsound supremely well. The album will be released during December in Europe via their own Motorhead records label with UDR Records the partners. It will also enjoy a unique type of release in Europe during December, when Classic Rock magazine will publish a special magazine about the band with 'The World Is Yours' cover-mounted ahead of it's full-release, thus heralding a new era in providing the fans with access to new Motormaterial. Currently on another European tour, Motorhead will then return to the US for a full calendar of live activities and much more in 2011.

Having said aboslutley nothing....the new graphics are BORING!!!

boring? I was thinking just out of touch and 'desparate" to get back into the favor of that market. I think they should stick to the race crowd.....  Hey I could be wrong but this is really sad....

BUT then again, I like the K2 angry clown hellblents!  ;D

too funny  ;D

I just read on the link someone say that he thought it would be bad karma to huck 20-40 foot cliffs with a ski that says, "Motorhead - kiss of death"  ;D

I don't believe in karma, which is in part why I ended getting married on Friday the 13th, BUT, that is funny!

Perry....Dr. living on the edge! Love it!   ;D

I can see none of us will be buying skis solely based on graphics?


It would be hugely funny if they were THE BEST SKIS EVER MADE!

AND that's another good reason for duct tape!  ;D

just for the record, Karma has nothing to do with friday the 13th unless you beleive that date is inherantly evil or negative and you like that kind of thing, that would be bad Karma.  Karma is basically we reap what we sew!  Its widely misunderstood but yes, "Kiss of Death" on your skis is not positive way to live and won't likely influence your life in a positive way. = bad Karma......

True

I have known people who worry about karma to the extent that it is tantamount to superstition; which = the Friday the 13th deal..........I know, another 20ft leap in my tiny mind.  Fingers don't always keep up with logic, or is it the other way around ;D

Vani:

Welcome.  Why don't you introduce yourself, where do you ski, what kind of trails do you like, what kind of skis and boots do you have, what would you like to change?
