Anybody else think the Fischer Jibskate is silly?

thewavebb · 2005-11-14 14:19:10

I was cruising around and ran into the Jibskate. I guess there is a new wave of extreme cross-country skiing and they made a ski for it. It just seems dumb to me. check out the webpage on it. http://www.jibskate.com/

i can NOT see who is going to buy that. Ive seen tele skiers rockin in the park, but they have the good sense to ride hippy stix or something with some waist.

thats the worst idea ive ever seen.

I watched the video and I saw no reason for that ski. every part in that movie was in a terain park made for snowboarders and freestyle skiers. and their taking a ski made for flat areas and adapting it to the park.

Fischer has proved that it is possible to come up with something gayer than snowskating

i find it really funny that it mentions how this ski suits nordic skiers.
it does. purely because of our wonderfully developed skiing traditions.
dont think of it as an alternative to twin tips.
think of it as an inovation in cross country ski design which will finally motivate little johnny to come on the easter trips with his parents.
im getting them.
how the hell do you get them to norway?

its a great idea!

now anyone that wants to ski xc, jib in the park, and have a perfectly sized ski to ram up your butt afterward has one.

there is a huge market for this.

When these were coming out last year it was more of an idea that they would not be used in downhill parks but xc areas would have small parks. They had the idea that there would be a 5k loop or something and everyonce in a while there would be a rail or a jump.

I think it;s not a bad idea, when I was on the xc team i broke a pair jumping around on them so these could be great for the right people. Obviously not most of you.

I think its a good concept. Its skiings response to the snowskate. Now you can do urbans without drop ins. A flat terrain park would prolly be mainy just jibs would be pretty cool. I think it'd be cool to try so that u dont have to hike the lift each time.

it seems like it can revive cc skiing, maybe more people will go cc in the future just because they have the possibility to go into the park now and then, while having a good workout.
