    What would you do about a binding on the third ski?

    I think they oughta just start selling skis individually. Don't have the cash to buy a whole new pair of sticks? Then just get one new fat ski to go along with your one still-usable circa '89 K2 TNC. Really love a ski but are wary of its durability? Buy an extra!

    I'm suprised that no one has come up in with a "third leg" remark yet.

    Condom and duct tape? It would have to be a four buckle condom though with a flex rating of somewhere around 120.
    You look like I need a drink.

    Good idea. I have broken the last 6 pair of skis I have owned. Always been just one except for an overshoot that split both tips. I have been fortunate enough to have received warranty coverage on all incidents, but to be able to throw on the spare would save some time without skis fer sher.

    Now we just need some big mountain or bc jib skis with such a feature.

    Why the fuck don't they just sell skis in singles. Buy what you need. Period.

    If ski companies really were doing it for the customer thats what they'd do.

    Well, I don't know about you, but I need two mother fucking skis... I wish someone would sell them in pairs. Serious question. How many of you have ever broken a ski? Maybe you're all more core than me, but in 15 years of skiing, I've sent one ski back for warranty.

    I've broken every pair I've owned. Many on the first day. I may not be as sweet as BB, but ask around.

    That's cool, maybe if you're breaking that many skis, you should work on a sponsorship

    That's funny coming from a guy who has a cheesy spy logo as his avitar.
    So you'll be a bitch for a pair of shades but not for a pair of skis?

    Oh yeah, and people who know how to turn rarely break a lot of skis, unless they weigh 300 lbs.

    I'm not going to take your bait and play your game, and I'm not going to drop names, but recently I asked one of the guys on the US mogul team how many skis he broke in a season and he said maybe a pair or two a season, because he wanted to be able to walk like a normal person when he's 40.
    I'm sure you're a better skier then him, so I guess what you said about busting tons of skis makes sense.

    I never said that, but I guess you've never seen someone launch 15-20 feet up in the air, 30-40 feet down the hill at 20 m.p.h. in the bumps in person.

    No, even though I'm friends with Toby Dawson, had a coach who is top 5 in bumps, and am around US ski team members every weekend, and competed in bumps....no, never.

    Hanging with Toby and the ski team every weekend? You must have a nice fat travel budget or I smell a little, no a lot of B.S.
