Second Hand is always an option. Just go to some local shops and ask if they have heard of anything. Give them your info and see if they can hook you up.

/facepalm

dude, demoing skis costs a lot of money. If he can't put down 350+ on a new pair of skis, what makes you think he can afford to spend 50 $krilla$ a day to demo?

I don't think being broke because you just dropped a few hundred bucks on a brand new suit really classifies as ghetto.

I would just scan B/S/T and get some junkers till you can afford new ones. I was looking yesterday for a friend, some guy was selling silencers and you could probably pay him like $50 for them. Another guy was selling Invaders with bindings and the highest offer so far was $115.

Or just keep an eye on tramdock and hope some price point skis go up on there. Or maybe craigslist if you live in a ski town. Or get skis for like $10 at a thrift store if you really can't get anything else haha.

Maybe if its a shop sponsored demo day, but if you just go into a shop and try to demo skis, its like a rental x2.

If it was me, I'd sell my SUPER AWESOME SWEET COOL one piece so I could actually ride... But, that's just me. Use the money to buy some cheap sticks, or borrow a friend's pair, or buy them for cheap.

Are you flat broke?
Like $0

Cause there has to be something out there.

Best choice is probably B/S/T
If worse comes to worse try Ebay�.


Not mine but pretty sweet deal. ^
