I got an e-mail from Cupolo's this morning about the sale. Bought a pair of Dynastars from them last year. I see a fair amount of stuff from them on Ebay. Got what I ordered and at an amazing price. This is a good outfit.

Those Volkl Porsche skis may be the most retarded thing I've seen today. Except for the nice price, that is.

Retarded perhaps, but marketing genius nonetheless...do you have any idea how many yahoos would buy that ski just because it says "Porsche" on it?

Apologies in advance if anyone who does own them reads this.

I wonder when they're going to come out with a model that says "Honda" on it? Of course, they would have to make a horribly loud fart can noise as they went down the mountain. It wouldn't take long before someone added a "system" with a large bass box on the back... :roll:

:lol:

Thanks for those somewhat disturbing audio and visual images.

I like it- then the Neon ricers can race the Honda ricers down the mountain. Who makes the mini bikes? Maybe some short skis are in order...

OK, those prices look good. Top-brand all-mountain skis including bindings for around $500 - sounds good to me.

So where do I find unbiased reviews of these skis?

I would soooo ski on a pair of Godzilla-in-a-crate skis.

Too bad I'm anti-image concious- that's a great price for 5-Stars, but it would drive me nuts to ski on Porsches. Some Godzillas, though, now that's another story.

So paint em black :idea:

Or go the other way and go buy a full set of Porsche gear (hat, gloves, jacket, etc..) then see what kind of funny looks you get, or how fast it takes to get beaten up...

What do you want everything? Good prices AND honest reviews! Just buy yourself a pair and try em out for yourself...







Be sure to post an unbiased review in here once you do, so the rest of us don't make the same mistake! ;) :lol:

Question raised by Brian's painting comment- how do you go about painting skis? I'm assuming a $1.99 can of spray paint from Home Cheapo won't do it. Maybe the Krylon plastic paint? ($2.99 at Home Cheapo)
