These skis will keep your weak richy rich legs from getting tired. Fatigue is such a poor mans game.

no, but I suppose if you are going to make a core bred of the same wood from two different continents... it would probably be cheaper to use diamonds.

Even if you are bill gates why would you want to spend a ridiculous amount on something that you can get for so much cheaper?

Status symbol. Same reason people drive Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, or any other super expensive cars.

The best skiers, dont need these.   The best skiers can ski and  too plunks of  wood ( litteraly) adn still be the best, that is why there the best.

The majority of people who are going to be using these, are rich europeans/americans, who ski 3 times a year in switzerland.  ( or probley some secret hill we have never even heard off.)

I stole a pair once.  A robot came out of the ski and whooped my ass.  Not a very fun experience.  So basically you pay 19k for a robot.  I heard the 12k model has a gazelle that whoops ass.

you deserve to get scammed if you pay that much for skis.  Why nut just make the skis if people are really willing to pay that much for them.

I knew it.

That website made way too many epic unfounded claims, not to mention that they had never been tested.

Also, it is completely impossible to make the perfect ski for all conditions, unless they can magically change flex, width, and sidecut.  Making a ski better for one kind of skiing sacrifices performance somewhere else.

"Brodie adopts the name Simon Carradan and turns up in Big Sky, Montana; sets up Carradan Skis claims to produce a unique brand of ski designed and crafted using a proprietary blend of materials never before seen in a ski. Deposits are taken from customers 6 months in advance, actual product appears non-existent. Brodie claimed the name change was to protect himself from radical elements opposed to Ashera/Allerca/FlexPetz. Carradan skis uses same mailing address as the parent or holding company listed in the SEC records for Asensia, Tetros, Coldstar Capital, FlexPets (all Brodie companies). His partner and front-woman in both ventures is Marlena Cervantes. As with previous ventures, the address is just a mailing office and there is no actual street presence."

HAHA this dude is hilarious and he has some 'front woman' pimping his ventures. I wonder if he got anyone to make a deposit?

And lots of you fools still need to go here
