great deal on the Nitrous on ebay right now.

What are your thoughts on them HPD?

chit, I shouldn't even ask. I buy any more skis and the woman will break my ankles ala the movie Misery :lol:

If you could get that ski close to the $345 current bid it would be a great buy. It's a brand new 07/08 Nitrous with the system binding of course.

The Nitrous has the same deminisons as the Top Fuel, but does not have the metal. It is one of the easier turning skis I've ever owned. It's alot of fun.

Oops, my mistake. I didn't notice that in your post.

I remember your buddies skiing on Afterburners at WF. Didn't Bill win the bump contest that Saturday on the Afterburners? Or was that Mike? Anyhow, great skis.

It was Mike. I got robbed, the judges where against me I tell ya. :wink::lol:

I did beat him at Gore though, so the ball bustin until next March is a wash.

I would buy those skis on e-bay in a heartbeat but I've gone to credit card crazy lately..I'm thinking that I might be able to find a similar pair with only a few days on them at one of the ski swaps..

I'm not mailing you stickers so you can put them on a lift tower. UR too much.

Dude..you didn't get my sarcasm. Papasteeze from PASR put PASR stickers on every lift tower in the Poconos..lol..He puts a ski glove with the sticker on the end of a ski pole. I'd probably fall off the lift trying such a maneuver. I like to joke about stickers because all the sponsored skiers and riders I know get tons of stickers..Yet I had to pay $1.60 for my Jackson Hole sticker. Anyway this could segway into a mad steezy stickers thread.

$345 is a great price, just sayin. You'd pay that for last years demo and this is new. Pull the triger Deadhead, you won't be sorry.

next year

I'm definitely intrigued by Nordica and will demo some this winter. It's about time I get over my loyalty to Rossi.

Jet Fuel is too much ski for most female recreational skiers. I'm impressed.
I've always preferred a bit stiffer ski than most womens skis offer, and though I skied the Jetfuel and enjoyed it, but I preferred the ski with less metal, (IIRC Nitrous).
I demoed the afterburner also. I REALLY liked that one.
Not that impressive, just a girl who's spent a lot of time keeping up wit da boyz!
My fav ski in my quiver at the moment is the Soft Bro, which not so soft.

The real question is why don't you have a Nordica ski yet. The Jet Fuel would be perfect for a big guy like you. Nice mid-fat platform, holds on hard pack, fast.

To answer your question; I don't have a Nordica ski yet because I'm poor and only by skis that are heavily discounted and/or used. I demoed a couple of pairs of something or anothers a coupe of years back and liked one of them, I don't remember what it was now though...

I meant to add: If a certain Nordica rep would bring me skis to demo when I skied with him then I might be more inclined to buy a pair the next time I go shopping... :idea:

;)

Bringing his skiis down there would like bringing a nascar to a go cart track. You have to come to the big mountain.

Because anyone that skis at a small hill is a poser?

Who said anything like that? Do you have sort of complex?

No complex here. What you implied was that any hill that isn't the beloved Whiteface is not enough of a hill to demo the skis, no? Maybe I read you wrong.

IMO those big fat stiff skiis need a couple hundred feet of vert to get up to a speed. Then you will appreciate the construction. I dont think they would be fun down in clitville.

If that's the case, then he doesn't need them since the bulk of his skiing is in clitville.
