After seeing more and more pics of people doing this, do you think that this will majorly catch on? I think this is limited to boxes and rails, what do you think?

That's a straight tarded troll...seeing as how we hippies rarely change clothes

There are 4 guys in that post...just showing that it's not ONE guy with ONE shot...

It doesn't matter how you view it, there will always be guys who see the fun in what we do, so this tiny sport will never die

Good for you man; ignore all the trolls and haters, tele-park skiing is insane! Big fan of your edits. Question about tele-bindings: what would you recommend for mostly all-mountain, but some park rails and medium jumps.

The ntn is definitely a good choice but a pricey startup w boots and all.

for 75mm boots
The Bishop is back if your looking for the burliest binding available..my favorite feel from a binder as well
22 designs make some great options as well.

I always avoid bindings without legit springs, and also bindings without super secure sizing adjusments,  for obvious reasons

its as simple as this. they enjoy tele so much its all they wanna do, so they go in the park. same as us skiers. gapers wld argue "snowboards are for park why do u take skis into the park." i would say cus im more comfortable on skis and i dont like snowboarding. tele is the same to skiing. its not that their tricks look a whole lot different, its that they are better at tele skiing and enjoy it more than regular skiing

Switch tele really isn't that hard. I've free healed since I was six and now I'm 15. I think I think I have the youngest person to double on tele record too (:

Interesting fact:

Tele skiers stopped Hitler from finishing his atomic bomb.



Great book on the same topic. True story, fucking crazy.

I'm going tele skiing this year with a friend, and from what I've heard from him it really isn't tough at all. I watched him flatspin teles the first day he put them on, so I'm not incredibly impressed watching people who do them. Sure there are cool looking things you can do with free heels, but overall I wouldn't say any trick on teles impresses me more than regular skis

I tellied from ages 11-15 and I honestly just got bored. But I might start back up and learn rails on them. It's not that much different. One thing I miss is those boots...
