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.

i find it easier to use a highlighter for a person instead of fingers..it makes it easier to spin on and of jibs

Bumping this thread for it's awesomeness.
I've also just made a new finger jibbin ski: the 09 mai tai.
My current quiver: (the k2 has rocker only the rubber bands sort of contain it, it's visible earlier in the thread.

Instead of googling for a existing ski desing I tought why not make my own design?

And this is how Finger Jibbers was born:

(you can clearly see where the inspiration for this logo came from ;)

I've made these 2 templates between the winter X-games comps so they may be a bit rough on the edges. You are free to use them, just mention me somewhere if you do ;)

Template #1:

Template #2:

And here they are in real life:

And with My ever growing miniature Ski Quiver:

I take this way to serious, I should be doing homework instead and get A+.
