Benefits of triplets

Seriously. I have the chance to buy last years Urban Triplets but I'm wonder what the point of them is. Do I just hold onto the third ski incase one breaks? Do I somehow mount all three? Do I use the thrid one as a shaver? A sword in gallant battles? I don't want to end up throwing away a perfectly good ski in a couple of years just because they gave me three. That would definitely not be the best thing to do to our environment. So tell me, what purpose does this third, less important ski serve. I want it to feel included.
 
or, you find another person with the triplets, and combine your extra skis, and sell them, and split the money

2 guys at my mountain were doing this last year
 
If I'm spending 400 bucks on skis, I'd naturally expect them to NOT break. I don't feel like filling our landfills.
 
you oculd buy my triplets, all three skis are mounted. I just rotated them sorta. Didnt keep perfect track,. but swapped a ski out every couple times.
 
get 2 buddies and buy two sets between the three of you and boom, you've each got a really cheap pair of skis...
 
thats how i roll. but seriously. i rode 3 different skis and by the end of the season every single one of them was fucked. but then again they said i got the crappy first batch of skis and the sent me 08 urban punx. i hope yours last.
 
and the problem with not rotating them and keeping one as a spare until one breaks is that if you replace one with the new one your gonna have two different flexing skis
 
then you should not be skiing park with your skis.

I dont expect my skis to break for no reason.

thing his we slide rails, hit big jumps, crash hard. those are thing that can make the best skis break.

then if one ski wear off after a couple of gnarly urban crash or bc cliff that didnt go that well. you'll have another one and wont have to buy another pair. that's where the triplets concept comes into play.

if you think skis should not break.

If you think you'll end up selling them before they wear off, then just try finding some other dude with a set and sell your other ski and split the money
 
I ordered soemthing else.

This was just more research than anything.

I was goign to buy 'em, but I got a better deal anyways.

Maybe I understand the concept more, maybe not, but I guess it's a cool idea if you find a use for the oddball.
 
I got a pair of the original troublemakers a long time ago. I ripped the top sheet off somehow so one ski was worthless, the other was pretyy nice. I bought second identical pair and after about a year I busted the sidewall off in a spot so now i have one ski from each pair that i put bindings on for urbans
 
the triplets are such a sick deal...i mean why not have one extra ski on hand? i mean if you ski park you are gunna break an edge at one point or what if your skiing a sketch line and get a giant core shot? you can ski on your extra until the other gets fixed.... but it would be great if atomic made some triplet bindings (3 bindings for the price of 2) i think i herd a rumer that they were gunna make some but i might be crazy too.
 
why... it takes 2 minutes with a power drill to rotate your bindings. having 3 bindings is a waste of resources
 
i didn't read any of the replies, but having a back up ski rules. especially if they last fine, then you can have urban skis with a back up so they will be able to serve you a while on urban duty. I have TMs for urbans and I got another pair of the same ones already in urb condition last year and one broke in the spring, it was so nice having a new one waiting to go.
 
sounds like a good idea on the surface... but the flex pattern is going to be different compared to your already broke in ski. Soo... instead I think its a bad idea.
