those look way longer than the woodward ones, not necessarily a bad thing though.

specs?

are you able to carve at all if you were to take them on a ramp/foampit?

i remember you posting in another rollerski thread, or maybe skibuild cult. fucking sweet follow-through dude

so i haven't road them yet as i just finished em and its dark, but I'm 95% sure they will not turn much but you can just step em around not to hard. but yea i built them for a foam pit I'm making, id say it will be another 2 weeks till i have it ready, cost about 30$ in parts and used wheels from a set of roller blades and 4 skate board wheels and 6 feet of angle alum, skis are 164. i made them long so i could get grabs in a more realistic location to what my normal boards are at 187ish. the skis each added about 2.5lbs to em and have some expressive swing weight but manageable.. ill just make the jump bigger ;)

Nice! those look awesome, couple years ago i screwed some old skate trucks to skis and had them super loose so i was able to carve with them down a hill, so fun! even had a ramp with a skate rail I could hit

gotta say, landing on concrete made me miss snow that much more

Ive always thought about this.

Get these things to carve, patent it, and you sir will reap many benefits.

I've been thinking about putting skate trucks under one of my my many Lacroix monoskis.

But going down a hill with that would probably result in serious death.

I'm not sure about to legal issues with these as the company 2x4 makes them for woodward and I'm not sure if there is a patient on them so until i figure it out i can't give you specific instructions on a how to. but i would be more them happy to make these given that there isn't a patent on them already, someone look? but I'm thinking i may know how to make them carve we shall see later. also i plan on making the foam pit with 6000 blocks of free foam from a local foam pit a gym gave to me.. pretty stoked
