Cheap twin-tip for backyard skiing

**grandur** · 16.11.2012, 15:54

Hey, again in English, but feel free to write to me in German if you prefer it and I'll try to figure it out.

I'm looking for some twin-tips with bindings for just having fun in the backyard, learning some jibbing and so on. Bindings should be able to fit a boot size 29.5, unless they are incredibly cheap I don't feel like having them remounted. Condition isn't super important, but of course they need to be able to ride, but I don't need 10/10 edges.

I'm 187, but I'll take anything from 170 up basically.

Price-wise I'd like to stay around 50€ with shipping if that would be possible (but offer up), either with shipping to Berlin (before 2012 new-year preferably) or to Denmark.

Schönes Tag noch!

no problemo muchacho!
you're just right for me!
i can offer you an salomon supect (181) from 09/10 for 50â‚¬ (+15â‚¬ shipping)
BUT without bindings.
because my boot size ist just like yours, you can try to find a cheep marker jester or a look pivot or a rossignol fks binding - those are bindings, which the ski was drilled for!
fks/pivot drilligs were made for an full tilt boot with sole length 326.
jester drillings were made for an salomon spk kaos boot with sole length - i don't remember (was size 29.5)
i'm writing this, because i want to tell you, that if you use the bindings above, you don't need to drill new holes!
interrested?

Actually sounds pretty great (but you others still offer up!

). I have no idea about bindings though, so I'll have to check out how much one of those pairs would cost, any idea where I could pick up a pair for super cheap?

Also, shit, knew I had to fuck that sentence up, German is a nice language, but the grammar is bullshit

I'm sure snowjunkie will hook you up with a pair of his few pivots he's dumping at home...

just kidding...check ebay. there are often decent deals you can't do anything wrong.

Yeah, I just checked, and it seems like there are only new bindings for sale. Cheapest I found pivots was 70â‚¬ excl. shipping and the rossignols for 100â‚¬ excl. shipping. Which is just too much when I just need a ski for jibbing, I'm not planning to buy new skis before next year or maybe the year after. So if I could find some beat up ones for like 20â‚¬ that would be cool, just don't think it's going to happen.

Really can't find cheap bindings.. Otherwise the offer is pretty great.

Anything else?

**SnowJunkie** · 17.11.2012, 20:02

actualy there is no need to buy exactly those bindings. you can put on every binding you want - fill old holes and drill some new.

**Stolz** · 18.11.2012, 09:11

I think it's not possible to find a Jester, FKS or Pivot in this price segment. But the ski dosn't get worse, if you fill the old holes and drill new ones for the new binding. Also you can buy a new binding, because you can ski a good binding your whole live.
If you find some grammar or spelling mistake, you can keep it..

If these were skis for actual skiing I might have gone through the trouble, but they are just for the backyard. Also, I already bought boots/pants/goggles this year, so my budget can't really be stretched much more, unfortunately.
