...There I was wandering round the Ski Show at the NEC looking for my dream ski - Salomon's X-Scream Series - at a decent price. I found it several times over, but as usual, overpriced for what they were. Salomon's never seem to be bargains, in my experience. Then the boss of my favourite holiday company suggested looking at Rossignol's Bandit B2. According to him, the French ski shops loved them. Intrigued, I wandered around again looking for them. No luck. They didn't seem to be there. Disappointed, I went home and decided to look on the net for this mysterious ski. I didn't find much there, either. I began to wonder if they really existed.

Slightly embarrased because TV shopping seems like something that older people do, I was still eager to get delivery. And, I definately wasn't disappointed. This is a brilliant and unique product which works just by using your own body weight. This means that you don't have all those awful weight blocks on your home gym.
