Don't bend them, and buy some other pair of twins. Verse's aren't a good ski anywhere, go with something else, don't risk breaking them.

cut several equally spaced grooves in the tail, perpendicular to the length of the ski (with a dremel tool and cut off wheel). Use a heat gun and heat up the tails until they are extreamly hot, then set the skis in a vice at the same time, and then let gravity(and some weights) put a natural bend into the tail, and then let them sit until they are cooled off. After that fill in all the grooves with epoxy and let that set. And by the way, I would try this with skis that you dont care about, because it took me and the other tech's a few tries to get good at bending tails.








I have a theory that all retards have one long tendon that goes from wrist to wrist, so therefore that is why they always are screwin around with one wrist up, and the other one down.

Conifer definitely gave you some good pointers, but its risky. It would suck to ruin a good pair of skis like that. Good luck man.

Like I said, dont do this with skis that you actually like, insted practice bending the tails up on old shitty skis and then if you feel proficiant enough then possibly try it. But I do agree with everyone else, I wouldnt do it to a nice pair of skis.
