So I was thrifting at a local thrift store and picked up some Old Salomon 1080s for 2 bucks. I just got the Planks no binders, Kinda an Impulse buy. So anyways after I bought them I noticed they have been drilled 3 times, a 4th from what I was told would be risky soooo...What to do with a extra pair of skis with no Binders.

I am thinking bout attaching them to something or creating something epic and I am asking for ideas.

So what should I do with them NS?

Mount them on your bathroom wall as towel racks. That's what we did with my old skis from my single digit years.

cut little holes right into them in front and behind the boots, and at the tip and tail, then mount rollerblade wheels in them
then either rig up some bindings or just tape shoes onto them or something then go hit urbans.

never seen it done but i would be impressed
