What to do with my old skis!

so I have a pair of skis that I'm about to unmount (Reno Rockers), but I can't sell them because they are finished, so they are still in fairly good condition to be used for other things, but I wanted to hear if you guys have any ideas, and no, I will not sell them to you, unless you send 1000$ to my paypal account...

here were some ideas I had:

1. take them on lake ontario and try to water ski on them(could this fuck up my bindings?)

2. make a shot ski or beer ski(given of course)

3. any more ideas?

Alcohol related ideas are most needed, since this ski will be at IF3 for drinking games

+Karma for the ideas

Reno Rocking Chair! You could butter all over the living room and probably keep the skis intact.

im going to go ahead and come up with an idea on the spot...
here's two
-make a groove all the way down the ski so you could pour alchoholic beverages down the entire ski. someone would hold it someone would pour something the other would drink from the tip.
- you could make a beer bongski. take some tubing and tape it t the full length of the ski with a funnel at the top of course and give her a go. plus bongski is just fun to say. say it out loud.

play a round of golf on them... get towed behind the golf cart to get around...... never take your skis off till you get kicked out or finish.....

my 2 cents..

throw some shit bindings on there and take them water skiing, i tried water skiing on an old pair of race skis and it was a fail but i think with rockers it'd be sick, just get boots you don't care about or go crazy and mount a pair of wakeboard bindings on them if possible
another option is mount them on your wall, that would look cool or save more skis and make a table or chair

mount it too your wall as artwork that way your house/apartment/casa is gnared out then you still have the ski to recall all the amazing times you had on it and if you ever feel like it then you can take it down and use it for drinking games, skiing or whatever else you feel like.

you could definately waterski on them, bindings will be fine just use ones u dont particularly care of and turn the dins up to the max, u may lose them this way.

as for the shotski id do it, or save em and when u can no longer ski any more take all the saved pairs and make a fence

put beer cupholders on them like those funny hats at football games then rig tubing through your ski stuff so you can drink and ski at the same time

You should save up a bunch of all your old skis and hang/nail/watever them up on ur wall and make a ski wall with about 500 skis ha but idk where you would get that many skis but its a sick idea

Throw them in the back of your vehicle, drive to Lake George, NY, and we'll try this waterskiing this once and for all Dave.

Kinda off topic, but if you really were interested in collecting a bunch of skis for something like this try checking your local dump after a local ski swap.


The ski team puts on a ski swap every year here and whatever doesn't get claimed after gets taken to the dump... it's the place to score on some free skinny straight skis from your grandparents salad days.

mount the skis on a wall like this

/
\

then on the top on the higher one attach a funnel, and have the tube run down the ski, then to the other, and at the bottom have end of the tube, wall-mounted ski-beer funnel perhaps.

I think this is a waste. what you should do is mount the skis to the bottom of a lazy boy so you can take it out to the hill on a lazy day and chill.. plus still get some runs in..


or this is just a dumb idea?
