So i was leaving my local "mountain" (*hill* i live in the midwest) to go grab some dinner. We put our skis on the roof rack on my truck and decided to smoke a few bowls out of the bong we brought with. There were 2 pairs of armada aplha 1's and one pair of surface one lifes on the roof. After getting blasted, we started the 5 minute drive. Little did i know that i DIDNT CLOSE THE FUCKING RACK. so all of the skis were just resting on top of the truck, not held down by anything. On the road we were going about 50mph when my friend noticed a strange sound. I thought it was nothing because my offroad tires always pick up snow and shit and fling it against the wheel wells, and it sounded just like that. He then asked "did we lock the rack?". thats when it hit me. I rolled down the window and leaned out of the truck to look and sure enough, my surface one lifes were gone!!! i turned around and gunned it, and 500 yards down the road there were 2 skis laying in the middle of the street. A bunch of cars were passing by and idk how no one hit them. I parked on the side of the road and grabbed them, and somehow they only had a few minor scratches on the bindings and the tips and tails were frayed by the pavement. not bad for falling off a moving vehicle going 50 mph! its easy to see why the one lifes fell off... the huge rocker and wide dimensions act as a wind sail. both pairs of alpha 1's were still on the rack thankfully.
idk if these pics will show up or not...
