put 2 tires under each end of the ski.
put as many cinder blocks as you want on the ski
leave them over night
soft

take them out of the refrigerator. If you need to have them soften faster you can put them in a bowl of warm water a couple hours before they are needed

If J Skis got any softer, they would grow fur. Amazing skis.

Soak them in gasoline, then put in over at 375 for 2 hours. Enjoy! #butterylicious

2. every 1/4" or so cut through top sheet of ski width wise to atleast 3/4 the depth of the ski.
3. repeat on bottom of ski if required (level expert).
