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.

Also in the finger jibbingcult:

Oke so after a lot of people asking for a tutorial on how to make my miniature skis I will now show you how in this tutorial.


We begin with the materials, there isn't alot you need:
Click for larger image

A printer (which can print on thick photopaper)

Glue: This is important no sisy 5 year old glue or a gluestick no you want high grade instantglue, you want the one with the most warnings on the package.This will ensure the ski will not delaminate.(get one of those tipper versions: cause you need very little glue)

Scissors: Manly scissors. Don't use little children scissors but get big titanium scissors. (don't use a knife cause photopaper and knife don't mix very well)

Paper: the most important, use 10X15cm (4X6inch) 260gram instantdry photopaper. This makes the ski stiff,firm & solid, but still flexable and bendable.

A stock Photo (of the ski you want.)


Step 1:
Find a stockphoto atleast 1000 pixels wide and which has the basses in the exact same size (saves photoshop time).
I got made this one: (to save paper i combined 2 stock photos)
Click for larger image

Step 2:
Print on highquality settings making sure the skis are printed completly.

Click for larger image

Step 3:
Cut the skis out: first do a rough shape then do the exact contour leaving no white edge.
Click for larger image
Click for larger image
Step 4:
The most crucial: smear a tiny amount of glue over the entire length of the ski.

Step 5:
Now add the topsheet.
Remember that instantglue is instant (duh) so you can't change it after you applied the glue.
And make sure you attach the right pieces the right way round.

Step 6:
Trim the edges.
Click for larger image

Step 7:
Repeat for other skis.

Step 8:
Gently bend in the desired shape.

Step 9:
Shred

Step 10:
Add some tiny rubberbands to keep them together for your next session.

O lol.

Well guys. I have decided to take this decently serious as well. So I am creating Atomic Bent Chetlers. Standby about 30 minutes for pictures.

And just a question of how to create bindings for them so they don't get all ripped up? I spent awhile on mine...

I Don't use them for finger jibbing, I just make the when i'm bored. If you wanna make a binding  that would be nondestructif on the ski I would get some photopaper and make like a cilinder/rin out of it for your finger, and then make U shape out of photopaper. and slide the cilinder ring over it and glue together, then you can just slide the skis in the slot you create and take the bindings on/off when you want.

Sorry if it's not really clear what I mean.

I just made his really quikly to show yu what I mean:

i was totally unsatisfied with all available bindings.. so i came up with these.. the bindings release on lateral impacts if they are hard enough (twss) and if anyone wants il put a tutorial up for themClick for larger image
i didn't have photopaper so i used cardstock with a layer of cereal box cardboard between the topsheet and the base, i apologize for the crappy quality and i will put pics of boots on the sides of the finger holes soon. and on the a-bangs the cardboard in the middle looks like the wooden edges in real life, not all white like in the pics.Click for larger image

Make sure you use cardboard with the actual triangle structures in between the layers. The compressed paper shit will delam like poo on a stick.

Not if you use Bison superglue: that stuff is instant stick and can hold 50kg/cm2.
None of my now patented awesomly designed skis have any form of delamination.
And if you use thick (260gr) photopaper they will not delaminate.
