if anyone is interested, im still willing to oraganize getting 2 sets of triplets in 181 and splitting them between 3 people. im willing to eat up part of the shipping cost so everyone's basically paying the same thing. im doing it with evogear's deal, which is 250 per set, http://www.evogear.com/Atomic/outlet_item_5123_753.aspx , making the total come out to $500 for the skis, plus the 25 shipping costs per pair, making a grand total of 550, so for whoever is interested in a good park ski (not cheap like fujis or invaders), im doing this for $185 shipped per pair to the continental US (people in CAN or AK or Europe or NZ have extra shipping charges)

Really good idea. I have some skis at the moment, but if I was in need, this is the way to go. If I know anyone who needs some skis, Ill let you know!

im in need for a park ski, and don't want a shitty one like fujis which i alreeady broke this year, and tried already but people were saying i was ripping them off when i wasn't paying for shipping (im getting so sick of NS right now), so im sick of this and just want to get this over with so i can get back to skiing, and it's already an amazing deal.

Now that I have thought of it, You are only really saving yourself 50$ by splitting it 3 ways...if nothing comes up, your best to just go ahead with it

actually it's $65, and how much use do you have for a 3rd ski, unless you rotate useage, the wear will make it ski differently by the time you need to uses it, with dull edges and softening flex.

this guy posted the following in the broken/singles gear thread. if you can't find 2 other people to go in on this with you, try to get in contact with him and see if you can just buy 1 set and sell him the 3rd ski?

sucks for the guy who gets the set with different serial numbers... warranty can become a bit of an issue...

just keep in mind, one person is going to get the shaft on a warrenty...in fact, all 3 are. unless you have all 3 triplets, or all matching serial numbers, you cant warrenty a pair of triplets.

triplets dont really have a warranty. thats the whole idea, the estra ski is the warranty. they sell you an extra ski and then dont have to spend money dealing with warranty inquiries.
