Baller MattP Posted March 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 12, 2013 @jayski I guess I'll ask. What lines and speed do you ski? How many sets per month and how many per year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jayski Posted March 13, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted March 13, 2013 @MattP 34mph, 39 shortest, in season (may-october), 30-50 sets a month, winter 8-16 a month depends on length of stay down south... @E_T more than rubber less than steel...no idea...

Baller Brady Posted March 13, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 13, 2013 @jayski Based on @Horton's rating system, with how incredible of skier you are.....ahem.....39 off, and based on how much you ski, your skis are worth about 45 dollars a piece. Now, me on the other hand, with my incredibly long rope lines and my lack of skiing......torn MCL should be selling my skis for full price!!!! So, if you would like me to take them all off your hands for you, I will give you$180 for the lot. But, if you can teach me to ski like you this year, I will give you 1,000 bucks a piece.....payable upon me running 1 buoy at 39. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller A_B Posted March 13, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 13, 2013 @jayski, how deep are you discounting the $1,000 for Brady to ski 1@39? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jayski Posted March 13, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted March 13, 2013 @AB I wouldn't even want to do that calculation, it would be depressing...however he did not stipulate at what speed or whether it was a "certified" course...a little trip to Dr. Jims lake and I'd be set!!!

Baller_ The_MS Posted March 13, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted March 13, 2013 @Jayski Is that a built in ski review? The less amount of sets on the ski, the less you liked it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jayski Posted March 13, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted March 13, 2013 @MS I liked the Elite, but it was too short and wasn't 100% right for me because of that, I never tried a D3 and thought I'd try a Fusion, liked the characteristics of it and stayed on that for the last month at home and a couple trips south, after Xmas I got a A3 and Strada to try, disliked the Strada right away, the A3 was the best out of all the ones I tried and was sold on it being my ski for this season...until I got on the OBrien Endo, that changed it all, the Endo is by far the Better poerforming ski out of all of them, it was a HUGE difference from the rest so the limited time on the A3 wasn't due to lack of liking just timing, if I wasn't persuaded to try the Endo I would of been on the A3 much longer, but it and the rest fall short dramitically to the Endo's performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skier2788 Posted March 13, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 13, 2013 @jayski I know I am off topic but i ski on an elite and tried an endo last year. I didnt like it as much as my elite. I am wondering what you liked about it over the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jayski Posted March 13, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted March 13, 2013 @skier2788 Pretty sure last years Endo and this years are not the same ski (67 only), the 67 is a different shape,bevels,rocker, pretty ,much everything but the 68 and 66 have not been redone yet, supposed to be by summer, they are still the old molds...the Elite and the Endo ski very similar, the Endo is more forgiving and just does what the Elite did but better, so easy to achieve more with less effort than all the rest I've tried...as @Horton states about the 'it' ski for the year, handily could be the Endo, they (OBrien) just lack the marketing magic to create the hype on the ski...just a FYI, Jmac ran 1/2@41 at Moomba on it second round...

Baller_ The_MS Posted March 15, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted March 15, 2013 @jayski You just did a 5 ski review in 1 paragraph and it was better than any 20 paragraph review that @Horton has ever done. Good stuff, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 6balls Posted March 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 19, 2013 @jayski, just charge full price up front with the discounts per annual CPI payable to @brady when and if he smokes 1 @39, otherwise you keep your dough. My money goes either way...but seems a fair bet and even more motivation for brady...like he needs it, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
