Skiing with shoes instead of boots

any ever tryed. I used my brothers skiies and my shoes fit in them. Its so wierd skiing cuz u dont have the front and back of the boot supporting you. so whenever u lean forward u fall on ur face, but when u lean back u fall on ur ass. but if you could get good at it u could hit a jump and take off a ski and then slip it back on before u land (kinda like ssx).

so your shoe actually fit in the binding? how did it do that without the things like on the front and back of a boot?

My friends shoes can fit in my old skis, heres a picture of what happened when he went down my front lawn. He was going down, then a car came and he tried to turn when he was on the sidewalk, ha ha.

Why? They are called ski boots for a reason.
Or just keep doing it until you break an ankle or a leg, but first stop playing SSX all the time and learn how to spell and write the English language.
