I had the first early taper and rocker skis that Lish and crew built last season, and lets just leave it at the fact that they had to send me another pair (which turned out very nice)

They are 181cm long, the dimensions are something like 126-102-120 (I think)
They have quite a bit of taper, so they should have turned out pretty snappy with the turns... BUT

The sidecut is all sorts of wack. There is more sidecut on the left edges than the right, and the base does not match flush with the core, so they are just awful. That being said, they ski pow pretty friggin well, and they are not that bad on mush and chunder. But they do not track like a ski should track, lets just say that.

They were mounted once for some Dynafit TLTs. They were used like twice.

Lets go ahead and say... $3.33 and then some extra for shipping?

:D

what did you do for graphics? I just checked out 333's site and you can pretty much have whatever graphic you want, and even send them a custom topsheet. which is pretty fucking sweet.

A couple people have offered different amounts. But like I said, $3.33 and not a penny more. (except shipping, if I have to ship). I got a free second pair out of the purchase, so if I sold them for more, I would be a douche.

And yes, I did just say, that I will not take more than $3.33.

Nothing is bad about my second pair. The first pair however, are awful... that's why someone else can have them for $3.33!

It wasn't bad, there were just a few skis that should not have ever shipped. He replaced several pairs for free, pretty good customer service.

This is far from a serious sale thread. Otherwise I would definitely accept more than 3 dollars for them. You sir, are the amateur.

Ha. coming from the guy who has 1/5th the feedback i do and no photos in his thread... im a numbers guys... statistically speaking... you're the amateur...

that being said... $3 for skis with some shipping...

i suppose i'd take the risk of losing 20 bucks or so for skis so it's a legit thread.

Free Bump, someone pay the man.

I'm gonna venture a guess that this whole sale is some sort of running bet with your buddies on TGR. Somewhere there is a group of crusty men huddled around a dental office computer stroking their gray beards and laughing.......in jeans.

He said something like TGR people aren't the kind of people he wants to do work for.  This was after people got mad that they got complete shit skis with sidecut that doesn't match up, complete noodle flex, camber different on both skis, skis that out of the box are already delaminating, and so on..

I look at how they're being made(materials), and I see a bad really backseat landing snapping them in half...

So they are spoken for. I don't know when I will actually be able to get them to the guy, but they are no longer available. And if not him, then one of the other dozen or so foolbags who want them.

Unless... you wanna trade me some 2011 Kung Fujas for them...

You don't even deserve an awful ski, let alone a ski at all.
