Hey out there...  Anyone know any good ways of altering ski graphics.  Can you just print out large sticker and place it on clean skis?  Any companies that allow u to design ur own stickers to cover entire topsheet.  Do you need to remove topsheet, and new graphics and seal?  Ideas appreciated..

for an art project last semester i cut a big vinyl sticker basically and slapped it on my ski. the ski's looked sick but the first day i rode them everything fell off and i dislocated my shoulder, i can try and get pics up once im home it looks really good until you try and ski on it.

id like to see some company develop holograms on skis.. depending on the angle you look at it.. itd be different.. a nice mixture of holograms and graphics would be sick in my book.

those are awesome. Nice work, man. Did you just do a bunch of thin coats of paint? from what I have heard that works the best.

designing it took a day or two not much its just basic shapes, applying the vinyl with the help of a professional sign make took probably 3-4 hours.

Up a few someone asked How Line changed the top sheet on the Anthem for the Limited edition version.  (My reply thing doesn't work)  They didn't change it.  They built the ski as they regularly would and slapped the Pollard graphics on.
