...to never buy a new pair of skis ever again*. After reading a million ''what skis should I buy this year?'' posts, I fell its time for a rebellion! For too long have we forked over money for simpily new graphics in the lastest release in a stagnate market that habitually takes our ignorance of the reality of their product cycle for granted! For too long have we wasted money that could have financed months** (yes MONTHS, not weeks!) of skiing with NO WORK AT ALL!!! For too long have we been slaves to the notion that an old pair of fat skis, a blow torch, some rivots, and a buddy who works at a shop will prevent us from hucking our meat, as a grand is alot of money to spend to figure out that we are pussies, not our gear. FOR TOO LONG HAVE WE WORKED AND NOT HUCKED!!! RISE UP AND FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT!!! SKI!!!

I buy new ones just because mine are shredded. But yeah other than that I agree with you.

um, i kill my skis, prob not as bad as somekids, in the last 3 years ive only forked over 600 dollars for new skis and bindings. that means: 1260s, candides, and TMs. you just gotta find ways around paying (ie instructor/ski patroil = proform) if they are in bad shape-warrenty, if you can find decent USED skis, go for it.) its all in your dedication

'I was in the waiting room of my doctor's office before a physical this morning. There's nothing wrong with me, but healthy people get physicals just-for-the-hey-of-it every couple of days. When they finally mispronounced my name, I got up and walked down a hall with a nurse. After a while, the doctor came in and inspected my holes. He said that I should lose weight and consider stop smoking. I blew smoke in his face and explained that he is a douche bag. We all had a good laugh and he agreed.' -Skydaddy

i broke 2 pairs of mogul skis and at the end of the year my PEs had a total of six edge cracks and they were missing 2 rivets. I should be kinder to them.
