Anybody got a pair of HG stingers that they could hook me up with for a good price? Need some new park planks but I'm a poor college student and don't have 800 just to toss. Thanks Homies!

Text me or PM if you've got offers 717-439-2599

not to argue but id suggest you get something similar and cheaper. $800 park skis is pointless, i thought we all agreed on that when kastle started trying it. you could literally get two pairs of top tier park skis for that price haha

If you need new park skis on a budget, go for a good deal not the exact pair you want.

Really, if you can ski, you could ski park on lots of skis. Go to the second hand or thrift shop etc.

Check these out for example. With the demo bindings one could almost mimic a center mount, but you could ski park with a "regular" mount too.

Those are far from old "straight" skis. Anyway, a used park ski means a toasted ski most times. Don't discount the second hand stores. Never know what you might find. Maybe some older twin tips with around an 80 waist.
Good luck.

if you dont have the money for HG/on3p's then i wouldnt shop for them. You get what you pay for and skiing on arguably the two toughest park skis on the market is gonna come at a price.

I don't know any one selling stingers but one good place to look is at ski swaps. I live in Killington and always buy a bunch of gear for super super cheap. I saw some blends last year with a pair of pivots for like 350.

Except on3p is priced similarly to other ski brands as far as retail goes. HG is trying to sling skis at a ridiculous price. Park skis are skate decks, 800 bucks is absurd.

OP, save 150-200 bucks and buy just about any brand new park ski out this year lmao

If you’re homies with people put on by them they have a discount code that brings the price down to competitive prices. So really if you know people they’re not THAT much more.

HG is a dope ass company that I would much rather support than k2 or Rossignol. I can’t let a high price ruin the rep of a sick ass brand that supports illll riders. You get what you pay for

http://hgskis.com/?page_id=2329#warranty

$800 for a pair of park skis with a rail damage warranty. J doesn't do this, and no other company on the market does either. You get another pair of skis after paying a fee on the warranty, meaning you get 2 pairs of skis ultimately. Just split the total cost of buying 1 pair + the warranty cost in half.

462 per pair. Pretty fair price imo. Plus knowing a connect to get the discount makes that even cheaper.

AND theres a regular 2 year warranty under them as well.

get HG's.

Like Park said, warranty ain't free. We've all seen how companies have fared who put a great warranty on their product without charging for it.
