I want to play a game to relieve summer boredom.

Create your own ski company according to this formula. Come up with a subject, then create names for the brands top 5 selling skis. Names of the skis relate to the subject you choose.

The ski names cant be existing product names - if you would get sued if you actually made it, its not a valid name (just to make this interesting).

For extra credit, post a picture that would be your company's logo. For even more extra credit, design a topsheet for one of your company's skis.

Copy and paste, replace XXXXXX with your subject and ski names

(XXXXXXX) Ski Co.

1. Park Ski - "XXXXXXX"

2. All Mountain Twin - "XXXXXXX"

3. Powder Ski - "XXXXXXX"

4. Backcountry Ski - "XXXXXXX"

5. Wildcard slot (give dimensions and intended use) - "XXXXXXX"




Example:

This Thread's Future Participants Ski Co.

1. Park Ski - "The inb4 This Sucks"

2. All Mountain Twin - "The Troll"

3. Powder Ski - "The Basement Dweller"

4. Backcountry Ski - "The Internet Elitist"

5. 101/88/150 WTFFF?? - "The Seriously Confused"

I'm gonna go a little beyond and include some more specifics on the design of each ski.

Transition Ski Co.

1. The Blunt (symmetrical; slight rocker-camber-rocker; progressive flex towards the tip with tons of pop; 125-95-125)
2. The Tranny (symmetrical; rocker-camber-rocker; medium-stiff flex and poppy; 135-101-135)
3. The Snowblower (symmetrical; rocker w/flat underfoot; medium-stiff flex; 152-120-152)
4. The Cascadia (rocker-camber-rocker; 145-115-139; stiff)
5. The Oldskool. It's an 80s twintip, and that pretty much explains everything.

Among all the detecting activities, gold metal detecting is the most interesting one. It can not only relax both your body and mind , but also give you a big fortune if you are lucky enough.Next time if you feel bored, you can pick up  gold metal  detectors  and have a try.

Popp-Y-Rock would be the name... It would have kind of a rebellious vibe, making alot of edits with 60's rebel rock and stuff... Kind of merging skating and skiing... The team would be: Chris Bentchetler, Pep Fujas, B-dog, Ian Compton, Ahmed Adahli, Max Hill, Tanner Hall, Cole Drexler, and Garret Russell! Now for the skis, Pow: The Vetran (Tanner Hall Pro) would be a 132 wasted fully rockered twin... Pow/Big Mountain: The PepChetler: a slightly stiffer 121 wasted ski with 80% rocker and 20% camber but close to Cemetric and playful... Now for the BRUSS: a 98 underfoot fully Cemetric super soft park ski, super playful and stable to fit the needs of Russell and Bdog... And lastly "The Axe Slicer" an all terrain freestyle ski, 89 width and stable under foot with slight tip and tail rocker to make it Playful, close to Cemetric, but it'll still rip on groomers! ALL OF THE ART WOULD BE MADE BY neckface and STiNK

... When you give an athlete a pro model they design the specs, and often times the art as well (if they don't they have a huge impact in it)

The company I no longer work for? If you're implying that, I can assure you that they have no shortage of potential ski names, you get a lot if brainstorming time when you have 20 pairs to base grind.

Scratch the mustache rocker. The rocker will be similar to next year's Surface LAB 001.
Click for larger image
Other than that, the ski will be light enough to slay the park in and wide enough to bring in the powder. This ski will be really durable on any terrain that is ski-able in the East and can ski very well anywhere else (maybe in Europe or on the West Coast).
