Dude, you must be a photoshope master because there's no way I will believe you acutally own a pair of the icelandics.

Super hush hush, but I heard they signed Shane to ride their sticks next year. Gonna shake up the industry, it is.

I was 6'1" and 125. That was 23 years ago, though -- no gain in height, but about 80 pounds later....

I'm surprised no one has suggested Baby Bros. There have been a couple of serious posts.

I think after my first two posts of trying, and hearing his stupid replies, I decided to join the sarcastic bunch. First we were nice enough to point out skis that would be PERFECT for what he wanted, but alas, it wasnt a twin tip.
Second, everyone has been too kind, but k2pow, if you're still here and reading this

SEARCH FUNCTION JONG.

C'mon, in all honesty has anyone EVER hit it switch on a non-twin tip AND actually made it all the way to the rode?

they are not his gf's, they are his (reading comprehension much?!?). oh, and don't be thrown off by the different boot soles. marshal really has fairy feet, but only recently bought properly fitting performance boots. he just hasn't remounted the other skis yet (although I doubt they'd get much use anyways)

marshal, you've yet to post a proper icelantic review. how's the edgehold on the groomers?

(and I'm pretty sure that his gf is rocking those ugly wooden home-made 290ish flex skis in a 195)

Are they signing Shane, or saucer boy?

I hear saucer boy is out--prior contractual agreements regarding a promodel big mountain saucer.

wow, and i thought i was skinny(6'1" 160)

I would tell you to get the B4s, a good cheap all around ski that sounds like it fits your needs. If you have your heart set on a twintip, get a Mantra or Goats, or Gun Labs????

from phish?

or from me? Confusing people I think.

Serious. Get my B4. Brand new for $350 + shipping. They sound exactly like what you want.

or get my 179 Seth Pistols if you really want twins. $250 WITH bindings.

or just get the sicko islantic skis. they skis are fucking burl

iggy-

two things:
1) this guy is clearly not in the market for your B4s
2) you probably don't really want to sell them to him anyway

capesh? (sp?)

LB-

1) I don't think this guy has any idea what he should be in the market for
2) I would much rather have them sitting in my kitchen anyway....:rolleyes:

it isn't like this thread was full of post seriously discussing what skis he should buy. I don't see anything wrong with my posts. Sure they were spam, but at least they pointed this guy in the right direction.....

capeesh? ;)

I'm just sayin...

this is sort of like the guy that wants to buy 185-195B3s or B4s or 189-198 squads :rolleyes: or the dude who needs steeps :rolleyes2: You can spam your skis all you want, it's a sweet deal, one you could easily get 5 bills + for on egay.

Point taken. I was just fucking around. I don't think this guy could handle a 185 :rolleyes: anyway :FIREdevil

and if I was as bad as the squads guy....sorry :eek: That guy is special.

I wasn't comparing you to the squads guy

haha. I didn't see that. I kind of lost track of where that whole thing went. So many different threads, just couldn't keep up......

definitely worth a lookup, it only got better as the prof got more and more curt

Alternatively, if you have a trust fund or rich 'rents, or you deal, or whatever, buy the Baby Bros.
