What to do with my subtractions?

I bought a pair of subtractions during the 15/16 season and now I obviously don't want to have anything to do with the company. They're still perfectly functioning and I'll probably be too busy this year to get much pow skiing in :(, so I can't really justify buying a new pair at the moment.

Until I do get some new fat skis, what should I do with them, NS? I'm thinking about duct taping over the topsheet logo and writing FUCK BILL WANROOY or something that effect. But then there's still the huge logo on the bases.

ride the fuck out of them, or sell them to someone that isn't aware of the whole revision situation

Spray paint the topsheets. Then get a stencil and turn them into Oakley Osama Pro's.

I still can't believe this didn't win ON3P's ugliest topsheet comp. Granted it's not ugly, but can anyone remember any other topsheet that was created during the few years ON3P did it?

In case OP doesn't know what we're talking about-

You should paint "Fuck you Bill" on them and then mail them to Bill's home address (you can find it on the internet).

Not sure why your worried about supporting them you already gave them your money. If anyone sees that you have them and also wants them the company is already out of buisness

I ended up with subtractions from 15/16 because I broke my Talismans by January, and they were out of them so I asked if I could just warranty up to the subtraction and Bill (when he still replied to emails) got em to me no problem. Honestly, they're way too noodley for the steep and deep tech stuff near me, but I kept em around for mellow back country stuff and for spring butter pads. Imma roll with them and flex them till they break, probably mostly as a spring park ski, they basically are useless to me for most of my season, but I already have them so fuck it.

Sand down the topsheets and spray some clearcoat over the top of the exposed layer.
