Order from D-Structure.com, good prices, knowledgeable staff, reliable and fast shipping. No bullshit.

My recommendation is to order from Jibij... so reliable and very friendly. Getboards has a business rating of F w/ the BBB.

check 'em out.. or call 1-866-jib-skis

Call em, there's probably a workaround, and they ship from Vermont so it will be faster.

jibij has a terrible binding selection, even worse than d-structure. both shops have a good assortment of skis though

I don't just want to preach for my company but it's really important to support real rider owned proshops.

Seriously what has certain shops who have the biggest share of the market ever done to promote, support and give direction to freeskiing?

Then look at what smaller core shops been doing lately...

getboards isnt reliable at all. if they dont lose your order, it will probably take a couple weeks before they ship out your stuff.

When you guys ordered from Getboards, did they send you an email a day or two after telling you it's being shipped, or did you just get it when it arived?
