K so i had the spur of the moment idea. Im goin to hood this summer and ive noticed that all the hood thugz are reppin the skinny rockered skis. So i thought to myself, im pretty hood, i need some rockered skiny skis cuz my chopstick are just way to wide! So i took my brand new volkl walls and drove my truck on them to give em sum rocker. So far its working pretty well. i just wanted some other opinions.

Pretty good idea hey.

so i took your advice. i was actually thinking that before but i wasnt sure about it. thanks to newschoolers i got that brilliant idea. so here is what i ended up with.

so........ i didnt really have any screws, or any matching bindings left, so i guess nails should work. shouldnt they? i see no problem having nails as long as they dont tear out while im hitting massive booters and drops and grind bars.

as long as i wax em up enough i think i will be good to go.

so they might not be what i originaly was going for and what this thread is all about but im pretty stoked on my new volkl wall snow blades that have nailed in bindings for EXTRA strenght and shred capabilities and a surplus of legitimacy. I think this might catch on.

how did they snap in the topsheet direction when you were pushing out the bases? wouldnt the bases have snapped. If this is real you are one stupid motherfucker and i feel bad you have to live with yourself.

well basically the top had snapped then when we took a picture we just bent it a bit to show really that it was no good anymore. the edges and base where keeping it together then we just hammered at it for a while to seperate it into my two new snowblades that i will use to shred up at hood this summer with all the other steez ridaz and pop mad nose wheelies and bust massive 340's off boxes.

hahaha it might have worked if you didnt put the blocks so high. im gonna try and rocker my old skis

any ways the skis are uneven so you have to cut the left ski a little bit to match the right ski

then again, if he is willing to drive a truck over his skis he probably doesnt take very good care of them

Indeed. Quite a bit of epic failure in the form of "Lol, you're sooo dumb! Those are new skis and you shouldn't have done it like that!!"

Some people's utter lack of sense of humor, or ability to discern what is clearly a joke, is unreal.

just so you all know. those skis arent brand new. they are a season old and I had snapped the other one in half a couple months ago skiing so i decided to have some fun with this one. I thought i would post a funny thread and see what kind of reactions i could get. Im glad that most of you have found the humor in the situation and didnt hate to much.

but do count on it, i will attempt to ski on my new home made snow blade some time.

1. That thread is over a year old.
2. In that thread the person is asking HOW to rocker skis, where in this thread the kid ALREADY rockerd his skis.
3. For the most part, you are still considered a nOOB, as am I. (I think)

You don't need skis with those boots. They do everything themselves.
