Hey guys.

Since my ski season is about to come to an end pretty soon(so sad), I will be bringing these guys I built out pretty soon:

(Sheet-metal bottomed crap ski)

I had LOADS of trouble with these guys last year, as they don't like to turn as much as I want on grass. Any tips on how to pop these guys around more? Yes, I've tried jump turns. They work okay, but these are heavy.

Thanks.

Serious enough to obtain this when a weed grabbed my ski and rocks happened last year. I love skiing. I live in South Dakota though. I'm sure you understand.

Not even going to try to embed because I always fuck it up. If so, that looks so unpleasant. Build a setup and you can jib all summer long!

Holy shit that was not what I was expecting! I feel it though. Setups do get old. That reminds me of the travelling circus episode where they de-laminate their bases and do that on sand dunes. Other than that, I would have no clue as to how that is done. Good luck!

Because I live in SD, and ski season is only 3 months long. And skiing is my life. Yes it's not the same, but it's better than nothing. Plus, it keeps you in shape during the summer.
