Alright so there are these things that XC skiers use in the summertime to train. Like long ass rollerblades. I'm thinking about mounting some downhill bindings on them and jibbing shit... sound possible?

Like these, but I have seen them in a longer version..

Cause I want something longer than skates, that actually kind of feel like skis, ya dig? I think there are some out there but they aren't meant for jibbing.

there is a locking mechanism so you couldn't do anything switch.
