Well now! This was a super fun round if you ask me. It is this kind of high comedy that makes this game great!

I only wish I was allowed to give more bonuses for all the hard work. Redlemon and Sticky went above and beyond the call of duty.

If you have not yet checked out the sledding link from Redlemon - I highly suggest you do. Funny as all hell. Imagine being the deadbeat photographer on that one and trying to be all serious. Unreal!

Sticky. Those are genuine Twin Tips. They are Salomon "Pocket Rockets" which are well known as the first "Backcountry Twin Tips". I read a funny review of them that I thought I would share with you by someone who obviously didn't think they had much life.

The funniest part was that since I did not think anyone was going to post twin tips, I was going to recruit Chasey (aka The Wife) to pose with a pair I just bought. I was going to use the same pose just about. I will have to have her do it anyway just for fun. The other ones (that are NSFW and you provided the link) are ELAN SCXs circa 1998-1999 I bought Chasey a pair that year and she still uses them (due in no small part to my expert tuning). Not twin tips but fun carving skis notheless.

Now on to the scoring - I'll just do the points since I talked too much already.

Ample 5 (still hate the skis though...)
Redlemon 4 (would love to give a bonus just because you worked so damn hard)
BParker805 3 - 2 for crappy equipment =1 (I really deducted since I am pretty sure it is a dude. I thought you deserved one for effort though)
Sticky 2 +3 for the twin tips = 5

New totals:

Sticky: 44
Redlemon: 39
bparker805: 32
Mondak: 29
Apmle: 29
cybermike: 17
Charlatan: 14
Fremen: 7
healer: 6
DEI37: 4
Marvelous Marv: 1

Two tied at 5 so I'll say on to Sticky since he is in first place so that Redlemon has a shot to catch him. On to you....

Thanks again everyone....super fun.

EDIT: I just looked at the:

1. Piece of meat posted by Redlemon. Nice. Twin tips have two fronts or turned up ends to them so that you can ski them comfortably "fakie" or backwards.

2. The other pair of twin tips you posted with the kinda clothed hot chic are Public Enemies by K2. Good skis - fun but everyone has them and all the cool kids ski stuff that you never heard of. Nice freakin find though. That took some serious work.
