 * ... that the first parabolic ski, the Elan SCX, was dismissed as a fad when it was introduced, but today it is considered one of the major breakthroughs in ski design?


 * Is there something wrong in the GR of the HOOK? It doesn't seem to flow evenly. I'd be happy for some ALTs. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:43, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg. Looks fine. Date, length, hook, sources etc. Interesting article. Too bad there is no picture. Also no infobox:ski. Never mind. Alternative hooks below. The first corrects (I think) grammar - one less "it" - and the second is shorter. My vote is for ALT2. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:51, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

 * ALT2 ... that the first parabolic ski, the Elan SCX, was initially dismissed as a fad but today is considered a major design breakthrough?


 * I like ALT2, it definitely flows. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:51, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
