I heard of some kids making their own twin tips by just bending the back. Has anyone does this, and does it work
Why do I feel that half the people here don't know how to ski?

i've head of guys taking blow torches to old skis and bending them up. They end up a lot like Olin Mark IV.
and i agree, seems like most of the people on this site are happier to look and talk like a skier than actually being on the hill

Twin tips saved the east

^I havent put anything in my profile at all, and that definitely doesn't mean I cant ski, because I can. dont make assumptions.

Hey guys, you have got to start somewhere. As far as twin tips go, I twinned by putting my dirt skis over a fire and bending them in a vice to the desired height. Then I put rivets through the tail to keep the base from peeling off. I think this only works with foam core skis.

heat up the tails of your skis with a blow torch, wait unitl they are crispy brown, step on them to bend back however far you want, put liquid nails in them, clamp them and let sit for 24-48 hours

My friend did this, not me, but thid\s is how you do this.
1. put 2 bolts in the back of skis to keep them from delaming
2. wrap tails in tin foil to keep them from scorching
3. take a blow torch to them untill they are nice and bendable
4. take a wood block an cut out the desired shape.
5. use c-clamps to clamp the ski to the wood when it is still hot
6. unclamp when cool


nice onepiece
