or just get older gear. Nothing wrong with the old seth pistols or motherships. Both dope skis, and you should find each for under $300. granted, they will be used, but if money is an issue than it is worth it.

Money is not an issue...I have alot of disposable income...plus I got the clothing and shit for dirt cheap...it is just crazy to think about how much it cost to ski

 

[iggyskier]

yeah, skiing is a pretty expensive sport.

 

[gretch6364]

And no I don't get all my money from my parents

scott, i think this man needs to get the capital g-funkenstein.

 

[gretch6364]

What is the capital g-funkstien? And just a little background on why I am even getting this ski...I am currently in Grad school in the east, but will be out west 2 or 3 times, plus in VT 2 or 3 times and I am taking a job in Denver in the late spring after I graduate

 

[skimasterflex]

Have you skied the Prophets Iggy? They are about as far from suckage as skiably possible.

 

[gretch6364]

Holy shit 162 in the waist...no way...and I am not diging the reverse sidecut...skis are the way they are for a good reason...in fact...a very good reason

 

[johanblaze]

hahahahaha

 

[iggyskier]

Yeah, that is why I added that some people love them.

From most reviews I've heard they are just too ackward to be skied comfortably. hard to get on edge, not great at speed, etc, etc.

Some review, though, have been good. So, if someone is interested in that ski I'm all for it. Some people love them and that is great. From the experiences of people I trust, though, most didn't like them. It could just be different ski styles, condition, etc. I'd like to try them at some point to see what they are actually like. Maybe I'll like them as much as some people do.

o yeah...and G-funkensteins are SICK!!! I don't know how practical though.....
