    Official I can't afford a Pair of Igneous'!!

    I'll be the first to say that my life is pretty much ruined until I own a pair of the new iggy's, and that'll be for a while, I've already considerd selling many things I own, and I won't sleep well for a while that's for sure, I will probably fail my Physics test tonight because I'll be thinking of them, but failing out of college and buying a pair and moving to jackson or AK doesn't sound like a bad idea right now anyway...If anyone else feels this way I too feel you pain.

    I can't afford Iggies, I can't sell my plasma in Canada & my vas deferens are severed.

    There's a new listing for Iggy's with Diamir 2s on powdermag.com's ski swap. $400, supposedly mint.

    I would sell my rm7 for around $1800 if anybody needs one, it's worth more, but I'll just live with the fact that those skis have out classed me and will laugh at me everytime I go to their website. If I gave up my summer hobbies then I could afford a pair but that's asking a lot.

    I have a pair of Igneous (FGS) and can tell you they are worth their weight in gold. Are they more pricey than your average ski? You bet. Are they your average ski - No way!

    It might seem like a lot for a pair of skis but these babies will take anything and everything you've got and keep on turning. Mine are 3 years old and have very limited damage and ski just as good (if not better) than the day I got them.

    Find some way, put them on a credit card, beg mom & dad, take a loan from a bank, you'll be glad you did.

    why make ten turns when you only need to make NONE!

    although i'm just as pysched as anyone about iggy being back (in fact, if the year goes well, i might have to treat myself to a pair), but the thought of turning down a pair of gotamas and ax4s/explosivs is pretty hard to swallow.

    It's not about whether you can afford them, it's about how badly you need them. Do it, I'm going to (although maybe not this season...)

    Hmm, very tasty. I'm going to have to wait for next year since I just bought skis last month. No question about it, there will be a pair on my feet. Perhaps by next year it will be possible to work a group deal again like we were about to do a couple years ago.

    Man, it was so much easier when Iggy was just a memory. Now They're back, way outta my budget (and probably not neccesary, seeing how I live in the mid-Atlantic now) and I have the option the buy Volkls pro-form. But someday... I will splurge/invest in iggies.

    Reminds me of a joke...

    Guy and a girl get in an elevator. Guy asks "what floor?" Girl says "three." Guy looks at label and notices it says 'blood bank.'

    "Going to donate blood?" he asks.

    "Yup," she replies. "I get twenty bucks for it," she adds proudly.

    "That's great," he says as he pushes number six. Girl notices that next to number six it says 'sperm bank.'

    "Going to donate sperm?" she asks.

    "Yup," he replies. "I get fifty bucks for it," he adds smugly. They go to their seperate floors and part ways with a polite good-bye.

    A few weeks later they meet again on the same elevator. Remembering the last time, the guy asks "Level three?"

    The girl keeps her mouth closed, shakes her head, and holds up six fingers.

    Sick and ashamed and happy (and that joke actually works better when it's verbalized and the punch line is acted (be sure to puff out your cheeks!)),
