Those are so gay. I cant believe how everyone conforms, one person says they are cool and everyone else automatically agrees. What is wrong with you people, the design is stolen and the construction quality is garbage. Thank god for people like me who keep it real and give those skis 2 thumbs down.

ok... so youre saying someone who doesnt like a sick graphic of a hot naked chick on their skis is gay??

ps im sorry for buying my PEs which have a stolen graphic on them. next year ill go to the k2 factory in china and design my own ski which will consist of a bunch of naked doods. that way everyone will know im as straight as you.

its kinda lame that you just took someone else's graphic and changed the color, but i liked that graphic in the beginning so i think its pretty looks pretty cool

You could run into some huge copyrighting issues now that you've posted this.

it's not the same design, it's much more simplified and the color scheme is completely different

i actually put all of the stickers on everywhere then mounted the bindings right through the stickers so when eventually everything on the ski rips off i'll still always have some stickers underneath until i take off the bindings

good eyes but that's just a sign of the bootlegness of my skis, it's actually a small piece of black sticker to cover up the remains of the sprayer bc writing

Thats cool the only shitty thing is you actually went through pixel by pixel in photoshop to make the quality good after enlarging the small pic which obviously became pixelated. Next time you do this just enlarge it and use a photoshop plugin that creates pixels to enhance quality. They work great but I cant remember what it's called since I'm not at home. Good work though.

instead of using tape to laminate it, you could have used spray on clear coat. That would chip of course, but you could easily repair it after each use by spraying on another coat. Also, I've heard of people doing this (with snowboards) by taking it to a car painting shop and asking them to do a clear coat with their extra (they have a ton left over after every car) in exchnage for a 6 pack of beer.
