Baller Brewski Posted August 9, 2019 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2019 Why does HO and D3 both have skis named EVO? Lack of imagination? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ReallyGottaSki Posted August 9, 2019 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2019 meh. 'EVO' is popular in Mtn bike models also. Shorthand for evolution. Supposedly they are trying something or combination of materials and hardware thats the next big thing How much of it is hype, well ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted August 9, 2019 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2019 @Brewski well both D3 and HO wanted to call their new ski the Newski Brewski but their attorneys agreed it wasn't worth fighting the trademark violation out with you in court.

Baller mfjaegersr Posted August 9, 2019 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2019 At one time, there was a (Jobe) 'Carbon V' too....and the 'V' *was* in fact for the forked tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DaveD Posted August 10, 2019 Baller Share Posted August 10, 2019 Let's face it, this sport is loaded with great innovators but is severely lacking in great marketing people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MarcusBrown Posted August 10, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted August 10, 2019 The Freeride EVO was a pretty radical ski. If you've seen or skied one, the first thing you notice is the extremely flexible tail section (more flex than any other ski on the market) and the lack of tail taper (keeps beginner skiers much more centered on the ski).....when the D3 came along, it was a tournament ski and in a completely different category. The Freeride EVO was the next evolution of our Freeride line (beginner/entry level category)...hence the EVO designation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
