realskiers

I got mine at Putnam's in NH.  Not recommended, they shipped them loose w/ no packaging!!  Bindingss and skis scraped up a bit.  They said they would reimburse $75 but didn't.

That being said.  Everything written about the RX-8 Fires is true.  I noticed the quickness and crud busting abilities (compared to my old straight skis mind you).

Older style skiers: They carved and slid well so you can make the transition to the new style skiing very well with these.  Also, when transitioning to shaped skiis, be patient with the notorious wobble at higher speeds when straightlining.  I found after my 2nd day I adapted, somehow, and they instilled confidence even through crud, much better than my straight skis did.  I can't say exactly what I did so they wobbled less, but it was very noticeable.
