Hi Adam,
We will have Amplid skis to test at the Dark Summer Freestlye Ski Test at Tamworth on Saturday 25 November.
If you don't want to wait that long then Jay, one of their reps, is running a bunch of test at various slopes around the country. He usually posts details of them up on the Dark Summer forum. I have dropped Jay a quick note to let him know that you are after testing some and pointed him to this thread.
Thanks
Zack

Hey guys,
the great bloke that is Zach Wragg from Dark summer let me know you were talking about the Amplid range of ski's.
I am the UK distributor for Amplid, and i have been busy travelling the country running lots of slope tests, but unfortunately not made it to Gloucester, but i will get on it, and try to arrange a test to happen within the next few weeks.
Just to wet your appetite, check out what the lucky peeps have been saying about the Amplid range of ski's here http://www.darksummer.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1006
I didn't have to bribe any of these people, or kidnap there mum, they just wrote what they thought!
Hey Adam, i dont know if you have noticed, but the Amplid skis have a great design on them, they have been designed with an insert pattern for the bindings (just like snowboards), so if you had a pair of Antidogma's and a set of Royal Teddies, you would only require one set of bindings for both sets of skis, how cool! (save you over £100)
Are you going to the ski show in london? or birmingham?

So do these inserts work like on Lines reactors? Because I hear there were alot of problems with the Line Bindings and as a result they removed the concept as of this year.

You know it makes sense.

Jski, I tried a pair of Amplids at MK and was lucky enough to be the first down after the kids had made a mess of the snow with their parties! As soon as they hit the rough stuff they felt excellent. That was, I think, the ladies ski. Pretty fat for a girlie ski.... All white. I'm hoping to try them again at the PSB, but that won't be you I suppose?

The insert pattern works just like the Line insert pattern used to, except this time there is no problems.
The concept has been extensively tested, Teddy Bear is a pro skier for Amplid, the Royal Teddy is his pro model ski, i have video clips of him dropping 40-50-60 foot cliffs with the Amplid bindings, slider plate and insert pattern, that on its own is testiment to how much abuse the insert system can take.
I have personally used the Antidogma ski's with the slider plate and insert pattern for over 6 months, i ski regularly at Sheffield Ski Village/Tamworth/Castleford and Rossendale, 2 or 3 times a week, and there has been absolutely no problems with the bindings releasing from the slider plate, or the slider plate ejecting from the ski's, it is a great concept, and i will continue to use it.
Easiski, the white ski's are called the Infrawhite's they are a unisex freeride/all mountain ski, and i am really glad you liked them. you can read the spec here http://www.amplid.com/ski/infrawhite.php
I've not heard of the PSB, or i'm just being thick at the moment, could you tell me about it?

Good to hear the insert system works. Are the Amplid bindings the same as 4front deadbolts? PSB stands for Pre Season Bash (I think) which is being held at the mondial du Ski/Snowboard in November.. Have a look under snowEvents for more info.

Hey Edmund,
The Amplid bindings are manufactured by Vist, you can check them out here www.vist.it
Vist also manufacture bindings for Movement and 4Front. I had never used the Vist binding before i had the Amplid one's and to begin with i was a little hesitant, but after using them in all conditions, and some times very aggresively i have to say they do the job very well, they release when there supposed too, and they stay on when required.
I'm personally very impressed with the insert pattern as well, as i mentioned 6 months continual use now, and not one squeek of a problem
come along to the Metro ski show and check it out for yourself, or get along to the darksummer ski test in november, and try it out for yourself, you wont be disapointed
