Just wondering as more and more ski graphics are becoming ski specific do you all pay attention to which ski is on the left and which is on the right? I personally never give a fuck which ski is on which foot.

I'm convinced I'll break my leg if I put the wrong ski on the wrong foot. Always put something on the right tip to remind me, be it duct tape, paint etc. Supersticious (sp.) ftw

i used to, but now i try to even it out. the reason being that with park skiing, my inside edge of my left ski gets torn so bad because i ride rails left foot forward and use it to scissor. so i need equal edge wear so i can make that inside edge last longer, and put the other side to use.

I do with my pow skis. It looks right and I feel awkward when they are switched. I used to not with my park skis until I blew out an edge and it feels wierd to hit rails with, so it is always where it gets the least pressure

one of my disorderlys is mounted backwards so I never really remember which one was on my right or left foot since the graphics look the same. So I probably end up rotating them at some point.

Well your edges are different on skis if you slide rails more one way than the other...

i always have them on the same feet because then the inside edges will get wrecked and not both edges

It doesn't matter to me, my graphics are universal, and so with my base.

this makes no sense to me, why wouldn't you want equal wear on both edges???
essentially wouldn't that make your skis last longer
