That is not necessarily true. Nobody ever sells the "best" skis, but
that does not mean that good skis are not sold. Of course, I have never sold any of my skis before, but I have heard rumors of some sponsored racers who get rid of good skis because they have better skis in the quiver that cover the same conditions. When you have been sponsored by the same company for 11 years, you end up with a lot of skis and you always keep the truly exceptional pairs. But for a new pair of skis to make it into the top rung of my quiver, they have to be REALLY good. I don't want to carry a pair of skis around if I will never be racing on them. For the past few years, I've usually traded these pairs of skis that are good, but not necessarily amazing, with teammates. For example, I have a pair of skis that I do 90% of my skate races on. They excel in a lot of conditions, but they are dialed in to just below freezing. I had two pairs of skis that had been in the quiver for years that covered the same conditions. As soon as I got this new magical pair, they did not get raced on once in two seasons. So I traded them to teammates who had similar situations with different conditions. So, theoretically, the same could probably happen where someone sells a pair of skis under similar circumstances.... -Nathan www.natronnordic.com "FrontRunner" wrote in message ...

Yeah, I almost forgot. I beat Marcus Nash at the Birkie a couple of
years ago. How do I know he didn't try hard from the 5th wave?... Another great skier I beat is Chad Giese. I've beaten him twice. The first time, I beat him bad, the second time was closer. That was in golf though. Here's a standing offer to any big shot skier... Let's play golf. You win, I pay, I win, you pay... Jay Tegeder "On the podium if the right people don't show up!" JT |
