when a new ski is being proto typed its pretty common for the top an bottom graphic to be made from whatever printed fabric they have extra of, radar for one company is well known for this. so it could be the graphic on a ski nate smith chose after trying several may or may not be what the final produced off the shelf ski will be. not trying to argue with ral or anyone else just dont think the graphic of a top skiers ski always reflect 100% what the ski really is so nate smiths ski could be the next generation ski with quest graphics or whatever
