2004 Volant Machete FB (Fat Bastard) - 175
What do you do when you snap a Rossignal XXX in half one season after snapping a Rossi XX in half? You buy the superman of skis, one made of steel. The Volant Machete was Shane McConkey's signature ski until this year (he signed with K2). Can a former #1 world rated freeskier be wrong?

Volant has recently been bought by Atomic and their skis are getting harder to find. If you are interested in buying these skis, they're all over E-bay. That's where Gerlt got his for 25%-30% of the $800 suggested retail price.
