I dunno, sounds kinda messy. I think I'd prefer to watch out FOR the Chinese.

edit: too slow

Hey!! Check out those skis! Hart's eh? Well at least they are based in the US (not sure where they are manufactured). Good ol' Harts makes me think of Suzy Chapstick.

If that chick was a true Chinese patriot, she would be on the skis of her people, K2's.

Now see...along with my typo in the subject line I clickin' and typing so fast that I actually meant this to be a reply to the following post - not a new post of it's own.........perhaps it makes more sense now.

Now that might make freestyle aerials a bit more interesting.

I thought Hart went out of business YEARS ago. I know they were THE ski for ariels and ballet. Perhaps all the arealists and ballet - I mean ACRO- skiers hoarded them up, like maggots would do if they had the chance with Igneous

Hart is still around. Dave Crichton (sp?) skied on some of their twins before he switched to Dynastar. I think I've seen a few pairs of their modern bump skis around too.

Check out www.hartskis.com

Seems as though they are trying to make a comeback... Put out some jib sticks and bring back the Phatback, and they might just do it.

Interesting... on their products page: "Here are some historical design to whet your appetite (current models and designs may be different)."

edit... i knew they made twins:
