Has anyone ever put grind plates on ski boots. I was watching some TC and thought that a whole new area of jibbing could be opened up if there were grind plates on boots.

Why would you need then, plastic boots slide pretty well on rails and boxes, the only reason I could think of is to protect the boot. I think it would just weigh the boot down.

line made um for thier old ski board bindings, look up the line soul plate. they apparently didnt really work that well, and were pretty much animously dubbed super gay.

asian_allen does. I think it would be a good idea, if done right. I would love a ski boot that more resembles my rollerlade, of course still being enough like a ski boot to not brake my ankles.

For sure!

I wish I had grind plates. What if skis had royal plates, like the edges came up or something (this is just a extremely crazy idea). Actually my boos would be better if they didn't have such a forward cant to them, and if I didn't get toebang... I need new boots, probably gonna get spk's of some sort.

it's for those grinds where you lay the side of your boot down on the rail, the plates make it slide

just watch an azn allen video

how could you carve the lip with those, or even do tight turns in general.

they stick out as much as your brakes do, look at your brakes when they are tucked in on the side, you will never carve all the way over. the only time i can think you would would be for handdrags, but even then, it wouldnt be that bad.

Yeah it's cool, I was just reading in powder how all of shane's friends said he was crazy when he drew the first rocker or reverse sidecut on a bar napkin too. Everybody loves to bash the guy with the new ideas, until they work.

OP if ya wanna try it, go for it. Doesn't look like anything was stopping MR. ALLEN up there. Sick boots by the way asian allen, were they everything you hoped for?????

This is fucking stupid, i mean i love all the innovation in skiing right now, but this is taking at too far.  Is it even possible to turn with those plates on the side?

freestyle skiing  is having the freedom to do whatever the fuck you want, so if this thread  is gay, then NS skiing is gay. furthermore, the term  gay doesnt mean homosexual tendencies to me, so im gonna pretend that all of the trolls meant to say "if this makes you happy, you should do it."

i would like a spot to slide royales. and i cant do any of them, but most of Andys tricks could utilize this. I cant wait for jibber specific equiptment, why would i want to ride racer designed equiptment in the park?, i mean if i were racing, i would want edges, but if im in the park i dont want any. i think its gay that kids sharpen their skis to do pretzels, that shit ruins rails.

Also, Line should make a ski with a grindplate insert like they did on the Line Weapon.
