I broke one of my K2 Kung Fujas last year doing a front flip... the unbroken ski that is left is just sitting around and I figure I'll make an awesome shot ski out of it to bring to college, any suggestions on how to best make it?!?

I would think it would be pretty straight forward, use a drill press the same size as the shot glasses and epoxy them in.

Or just epoxy them straight on the top. Use waterproof stuff though so you can wash the glasses. Some people I know tried to use stick on velcro patches so they could remove and wash the glasses but it didn't work all that well.

Removable and washable though...

I used 5 min epoxy. They fall off sometimes but then I just super glue or epoxy them back on

We've done it a few different ways. Velcro along the length of the ski works really well than obviously have velcro on the bottom of the glass. (grab some at a michaels or other arts and craft store)

Nice part about velcro is if you have a big burly dude and 100 pound chick you can adjust the space in between shot glasses because of velcro. Also makes washing the shot glasses a lot easier.

We ordered some flying skis off ebay 240cm of awesomeness.

ON3P has one of these, so sick. The guy mills the pieces for all the bindings himself.

And for DIY at home:

1) epoxy a binding screw into the bottom of shot glass
2) drill slightly smaller that screw width hole into ski
3) crank shot glass with screw into hole, no glue
4) enjoy removable, transportable and washable shot glasses with your shot ski
