I would hate to ski something that expensive, every time I hit a rock or something I would have a heart attack.

Wow, that guy is a real piece of shit. I hope he gets shot. But then again, anyone who would pay that much for one pair of skis probably deserves to be scammed.

theres this one guy who goes to my shop who always buys shit like this and is way too into skiing, like puts all of his money into it...everyday he goes to the shop, even in the summer when they're really not even open, its crazy!!! He built a wind tunnel in his basement so he could be more aerodynamic while racing...

Carradan has two new 12,000 and 19,000 dollar models (this is from TGR)---> " The Carradan Company says the skis will be hand delivered by Olympic skier Martin Bell and he will ski with the proud new owner for one day so that he will be able to get the most out of his new skis.
