**Poop~Ghost** · 07-14-2007, 08:45 AM

Yup - right list.

**Ottime** · 07-14-2007, 11:12 AM

Is this still live? PM sent

**PearlJam09** · 07-14-2007, 03:07 PM

Switch me to the Yes list instead of the Maybe list for some THA action.

**sfotex** · 07-14-2007, 03:37 PM

To clarify the 1-8-7 thing, here's some Snoop Dog with the proper way to use the phrase:

Six fo' five was the time on the clock,
When me and my homey bailed in the parking lot.
The scene looked strange and it felt like a set up
Better not be, cause if it is, they're getting lit up.
Oh here they come from the back and they laxed.
I'm checkin for the gats they strap, so whats up black?
Chill, lets hit a deal,
if it aint up to what you feel then grab your steel.
Right, so, what you motherfuckers gonna come at me with?
Hope you ain't wantin' none of my grip.
Cause you can save that shit. Guess what they told me?
'We give you 20 G's if you snitch on your homey,
We'll put you in a home, and make your life plush,
Oh yeah, but you got to sell dope for us."
Hmmm, let me think about it
Turned my back and grabbed my gat and guess what I told him before I shot
it:
'If you don't quit, yeah, if you don't stop, yeah, I'm lettin' my gat pop'
Cause it's 1-8-7 on an undercover cop

Yeah, and you don't stop (cause it's 1-8-7 on an undercover cop)
Yeah, and you don't stop (cause it's 1-8-7 on an undercover cop)

I am definitely in if the price gets closer to $200

**cooltsi** · 07-14-2007, 10:09 PM

O.k. Group purchase has not been initiated yet. I have got the skis other than the THA down to $170. $200 for the THA, we are working on a fair fixed shipping price.

I'm getting nothing out of this so please be patient as we work out the details. He will ship to the Canuks but shipping is going to run a bit more. Let me know if this changes anything for you. I'm hoping we can accomidate everyone but I'm planning on going down the list, first come first serve style.

**couloir** · 07-14-2007, 11:02 PM

ok put me on the for sure list for a pair of 180 first bloods based on a fair shipping price to canuckistan.

OMG please just stop calling them that! They are 1-8-7's for christs sake! This site prides itself on being full of well informed assholes like me doesn't it?! You have been informed! It isn't about what NS kids might say it's about simply calling a ski by it's crafty pun of a name. It is 187cm tall and has a crazy death skull graphic going on to make it gangsta. It is the first ski to refer directly to its size and style in it's name if I am not mistaken, and calling it THA ruins that.

**Spiralmagnolia** · 07-15-2007, 03:10 AM

You can switch me to the yes definitely list for a pair of 190 bloods.

hehe.....I guess I've never been very politically correct. (19) THA 1-8-7, (5) each 190 and 180 First Bloods and the one guy with the park ski. Anyone want to buy me a set of the THA 1-8-7's? Is a pair of 185 Blowers and 190 Gotamas to much overlap for the 1-8-7?

Anywho....Here is the list to date.

Bossass THA

**TWINS** · 07-15-2007, 09:28 AM

Can you please put me on the list for 190`s.Thanks.

**Ottime** · 07-15-2007, 09:45 AM

Please put me down for THA 1-8-7. Ah, PC feels so good.

**BigLineSeeker** · 07-15-2007, 10:16 AM

I would like to change my request to a 180 1st blood from the 1-8-7s. The 1-8-7s overlap too much w the blowers

Every other ski that has ever come out of the 5axis factory has fallen apart. Just to warn you, but it is a place where snowboards are made and where startup ski brands go to cheaply do their first run.

When I have more facts i'll let you know.

yeah you're correct, 9thward changed plants, setting back production a couple months, hence the skis were a couple months late. this years skis should be finished by the beginning of septemeber. and to those who don't know...all the skis for sale there are all 05/06 skis, not last seasons.

**rolllindeep** · 07-15-2007, 05:34 PM

i want in on the 187s if they are around 200 shipped put me down as yes

**cooltsi** · 07-15-2007, 06:29 PM

THA is going to be $200 + shipping

All others $170 + shipping

Interestingly enough, he has 383 pairs of skis but only 28 THA 1-8-7

**Spiralmagnolia** · 07-15-2007, 08:05 PM

How is payment going to work? Thanks cooltsi for working this out.

**strode420** · 07-15-2007, 08:49 PM

yeah also curious on the payment, but i'm sure you'll let us know as soon as you do.

and i think all of us who end up getting a pair of these should throw cooltsi a five or ten spot for his trouble.

**BigLineSeeker** · 07-15-2007, 09:31 PM

Payment and shipping info pls.

super karma points to cooltsi!

**rightcoast** · 07-16-2007, 02:23 PM

put me in for 180 bloods.
estimate on shipping to the east coast??

**bossass** · 07-16-2007, 02:25 PM

Aw, shit. I can't afford, don't need, any new skis. Take me off the list.

**cooltsi** · 07-16-2007, 04:03 PM

O.k. I got off the phone with them.

Again; $200 for the THA 1-8-7 and $170 for any other ski

Shipping is going to be a flat rate of $25 via UPS to the continental US and $45 to the Canadians via USPS.

Paypal and questions can be directed to info at five axis dot com with questions attn: Marc

When you pay or have questions please reference "Ninthward TGR Group Purchase" and include the following info:

Model:
Length:
US or Canada:

Group purchase is valid now until Friday July 20, 2007 17:00 PST

Please keep your questions to a minimum, I asked about mounting etc...and I think Marc is a snowboarder rather than a skier as he suggested I talk to my local shop.

Go get some skis, and if you want to pitch in $5 or $10 I'll put them towards a pair of 1-8-7 for myself.

Oh, I have pics of the 180 and 190 First Bloods that are a bit better than the ones on E-Bay, I'll try and get them linked shortly.

Lastly, please PM me with what you ended up purchasing so I can keep a tally. He had 17 on the 1-8-7 at last count and he had 28 pairs with gobs of the others but it is first come first serve as I don't see a point in trying to manage the list when there is more skis than were asked for.
