last summer i built a set up, but where i live in wisconsin it gets really fucking hot. so it was a pain in the ass to have to put my boots on and sweat my ass off while trying to ski. this year i came up with a solution. since i only have 1 pair of bindings, i took my super super old skis and hot glued my old ipaths onto them. looks like this:

it may seem stupid, but this really helps the object of a summer set up- practice. you can just slip the ski-shoes on and off instead of wasting time buckling your boots and they are way lighter thahn real skis which makes trying new tricks easier.

to make them all i did was hot glue the sole of the shoe onto the ski in the center, and then put hot glue all around the outside of the shoe to make sure it doesnt move. they are super durable and you can also use them on your trampoline to practice grabs and spins easily.

i really suggest everyone in this cult tries it.

if it works it works. nice job. No need for ankle protection or such, because it's not big airs and impacts. That seems so good.

i can see that working on the tramp but it doesent seem like you would have enough support to hit rails. Plus don't u have to take the shoes off every time you want to take the skis off.

weird. i dont know, i think seshing in real ski boots is better to learn in bercause thats what your gonna have on at the mountain. yea, you may be able to do a sw up in ur sneaker bindingsa, but will that actually transfer over to ski boots, i dont know about it
