Alright, so I put myself in my room to actually try to do my English Essay. I failed. I got some supplies and started making some finger skis.
I was extremely bored so yeah =)
I'm probably gonna get -K for this lol.

Some epic shots I got:

Riding up the jump (Binder)

Click for larger image
Approaching the lip with a little carve. (lol)

Click for larger image
Beautiful pop, locking in that steezy tailgrab. Tremendous spin; tweaked out.

Click for larger image
Stomped landing and afterbanging it out

Click for larger image
Hiking back up to hit it again.

So I just completely wasted a lot of my time. But... it entertained me lol.

Took my Hellpicks out onto my Science Textbook today. They got 30CM of fresh dump in 24 hours. It was amazing, they have such good flotation.

i guess it depends.
my marketing book is deep as shit, so id want a freeride mount to shred for a couple hours.
but in environmental issues i have multiple small books, so the jibbing potential is phenominal, park mount

it's pretty much a really wide range of vareity. depends on if your going to shred up the math plastic binder or the language folder. id defintly go for the toothpicks with the scotch tape bindings. then id also get    q-tips for the poles.

forgot to add, the mastersticks are very nice with a new plytooth core, butter zones and mounted true center. the tod walpaper pros are very stiff and is experimenting with a new wood stringer at the bottom so provide more support.
