If your shop had pipe cleaners, would you buy them if you didn't need them?

meh, I wouldn't. That money could probably be used for something else... like the unexpected stuff that comes up during the season.

who cares if there are only 500 pairs. you would end up using them probably a little, but whats the point of spending that much money on a waste? That money could go to a much, much better use, and probably something more memorable too

Lets just say that it won't make you go from a beginer to a pro. I'm sure you will do just as fine with any other ski.

I don't think they're rare enough to resell for much of a profit if that's what your thinking.

I've seen them in evry single ski shop I have gone in this year. I have seen them at like at least 4 different shops and each shop has tons of pairs. If anything the ANT is way more rare.

it depends on your reasoning....

If your buying them simply cos there rare than thats dumb, because they're not rare enough to appreciatte.

If you're considering buying them cos they're the sickest park/carving ski on the market then I say yes...

500 pairs considering th number of skis on the market isnt that rare. the demand is probably not going to be high enough. if their were 10 of them and they were all signed by Tanner than I would say yeah go for it. but 500 isnt that rare. especially since its not a colectors item and its going to be used

They are the same ski as the AR6 with a thinner base and edge. And no 500 is not that rare. Kingswood makes 200 pair a year total, and I'll have 4 of those this year for demo in Tahoe. That is rare. My store has 4 pair of Pipe Cleaners in stock. They will probably keep 100 pair for employee orders. I bet they make more than 500 anyhow. I don't know what the hype is anyway they aren't a good ski for most people. Compared to the AR6 they will have durability issues in the park, wait and see.

Are pure park skis really worth it? I would say no (and I am calling chronics and ar5s scratch FSs more all around, not park, but good in park)
