There's a sucker born every minute! I bet they laugh all the way to the bank.
Coriolis... I give them credit for coming up w/ the biggest load of B.S. I've ever read. It's a good thing they use the proper blend or you'd be skiing in circles. Personally I only use wood that grows in the same latitude and longitude of where I ski, because the wood is already acclimated to the climate (insert laughter...).
Go to love their sales gimmick too. I think Ferrari uses the same technique when they launch a new model. Can't get one unless you already own one of their other cars or you're referred or you're a sheik.
On the flip side if you could find 10 suckers....
all the way to the bank.
I'm always leery about websites that do not list any physical contact info like a phone number or address... not that the address can't be fake but for all you know the skis are made in China.

anyone that believes water drains in an opposite direction because of the Coriolis effect, and is willing to spend almost 20g on a pair of skis that supposedly weigh one pound deserve to get ripped off.
Although, I must admit I thought they were real, didn't realize he was a fraud.
I still want to sell 5,000.00 boards one day.

Just read this. Utter bullshit.
Y'all shoudl check out my new website for the New Hotness; designer custom roller-blades. The plastic has been treated to account for the fact that, due to Newton's laws, the top of the boot moves slightly faster through time-space, thereby aging slower. Adjusting the plastic compistion from top to bottom of the boot allws for an even aging rate, so that the performance of the boot is comprised in an even and predictable fashion. The discerning blader should accept nothng less. Also, spring loaded toe box to account for the fact that, while roller blading, your foot will undergo some slight shrinkage due to Lorenz Contraction.
Visit the softgoods page and pick up one my $14,000 fanny packs, designed by Fredericks of Beverly Hills.
