    Thumbs up Bro Models = RAD

    Hey guys - I just skied the softie bro models this past Saturday (thanks Vets) and I just wanted to say how much fun these skis are! To anyone who hasn't tried them.......I highly suggest getting out there, find Splat or Vets, and try these on a few runs. You'll be hooked. These are the biggest skis I've ever skied on, and they were INCREDIBLE! I floated down the hill like it was nothing. Several turns under the usual requirement to get down the hill, and I was amazed at their handling power. They're solid. And these were even the "softies". I haven't skied on a lot of skis in my time, but figured I'd give a big shout out to Splat and the rest of the crew for creating such a wonderful ski.

    Angry

    So much talk, so little shipping.

    WHEN ARE MINE COMING?!?!?!?!!?










    I can't wait anymore
    I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

    Looks like yours will ship tomorrow, DJ.

    And I really owe an apology to everyone who has ordered. I don't like to make excuses, so I won't. I have been babysitting the building of these skis day and night. And I have gone through the gamut of anxiety attacks, brow beating, screaming, threatening, exhaustion, and everything else to get the guy who is in charge of the shop to get the skis out. After the out-of-line topsheets incident, the crew ran all softs on this run, which means some of you guys who were the earliest orderers won't be getting yours in the order in which I wanted to ship, which was the order of payment. I am beyond pissed with the lackluster performance and delays. But only with regards to keeping the schedule. The workmanship is extremely top notch. The only consolation I have to offer those of you patiently waiting is that the wait will be worth it.

    Again, my most sincere apologies. And thank you for not reaming me for being so late, as I feel you have every right to do so. I take PM Gear's obligation to you guys more seriously than I could possibly relate here in writing.

    I will continue to rant, scream, harass and whatever needs to be done until every one of these skis are shipped. Thanks, you guys.

    All kidding aside, as an onlooker from the sidelines, you've handled this whole thing pretty well Splat. Hope things go smoothly for the Bro from here on out.

    We'll hold a number of them for warranty replacements (not that we're expecting any). I know I'll ski on blems. If there are any leftovers, a deal might be offered here, but it will be a while before that is discussed. pm me if you want on that list....

    Thanks for all the work, Splat. As I am sure you already know, your efforts are greatly appreciated and will be validated by the "slaying" of terrain that they partake in this coming winter

    Amen to that. Pat has busted his ass and accomplished the impossible. Things have not gone perfectly, but the skis are amazing and we will deliver them and our customers will be satisfied.

    Fortunately, Pat is extremely patient and optimistic because any other man would have killed someone somewhere in this difficult process. Kudos.

    A bunch. I'll see how many are done in the morning. I was told they'd be done yesterday. I'll email everyone who's getting theirs. Yours will probably get shipped the next day, schuss, but don't hold me to that exact date. I just demanded the shop start working on some stiffs immediately.

    I'm just excited to fondle them, thats all. I am in no direct need right now, so don't worry about it. Just psyched. And babbling.

    WooHoo. I've been dying to see (and ski) these things in person. Do mine ship soon too or do I have to wait until the end?

    Avoid employing unlucky people - throw half of the pile of resume's in the bin without reading them.

    hey splat,

    did you decide on a mark for the x-tra stiffs?

    don't worry about putting the # i requested on mine. i'm fine with whatever marking you are using to denote what it is.

    thanks for the burly stix. don't worry about the time. haste makes waste.

    Dear Splat - I am an excellent candidate for Bro Model Sponsorship, I have the trust of and respect of all maggots (after all I am half of them and Summit and Lonestar make up three quarters of the remainder), I am kind and will be an asset to both your company and also to mankind.

    Email his friend nateberry (Bad Roo has the address) and let him know that you know AKPM.

    Any chance of turning a few of those blems into demos and bringing them to the JH summit? I'd love to give them a try.
    Because rich has nothing to do with money.
