KneeDropyou have yourself a backseat ski
BLandzHoly fuck man I thought getting my look pivots in the ass was bad when I land backseat, I don't even want to know whats gonna happen on these things
SlushWtf is going on in this thread
Fitz_Dude no one fucking cares stop
HC_mountainAlienation has always been a big part my thing, to become separated from everyone and everything.. and to then find the better you. It's not about people laughing at you, it's like going into a different frequency spectrum that you almost don't register with other people.. hence HC mountain.. a place people can ascend to.
But c'mon, urban and quads is all skiing has to offer now? People are looking real stupid trying to emulate Candide Thovex.
KneeDropYou are, fundamentally, a horrid skier. Your ski ideas (while I'm sure they do go downhill) are regressive, limiting, illogical and clearly coming from a place of ignorance and a lack of skiing understanding.

nothing is more horrific than seeing a novice launch off a booter and land on their back and wind up hospitalized (and it is all too common.) I'm still not totally sure why this happens as much as it does.
the jump is reminiscent of the speed drops that downhill racers take.
This ski adds some easy trick possibilities to the jump involving oldschool tricks like daffy, spread-eagle and backscratcher.
It also offers new trick possibilities as the skier can tug around their skis in the air as they please.
People say you should pop off a jump, but what happens if you're already forward on takeoff? You don't need to think about "popping"
[the dildos]could also be a teaching device, amongst having other uses.

In a turn, I think the rear-ski heal should be lower down, and the front-ski heal raised - and both locked in that position
there must be speed limitations with the telemark style
some injury possibilities on the knee.
KneeDropLess knee injuries, actually.
HC_mountainYeah, I have heard this from numerous sources and it is probably in large part because the chest remains pointing in the same direction as the feet and that the twist you get on standard skis is missing.
HC_mountainI'd like to try telemarking but I think I could waste any telemarker in terms of speed and agility with HC'ing.
KneeDropChallenge!!
HC_mountainAlso, the slanted footbed can be applied to snowboarding too.
KneeDropwhat use do you see it having on a snowboard?

gypsy_kidkids were over estimating the speed. it was a disaster.
HC_mountainThis just shows how badly kids want big air, and very often have no idea how to get it. It reinforces my point of how often I see kids landing on their back doing only a 1/4 backflip.
What were the main injuries or fall directions?
At HC Mountain there should be a large instruction board with diagrams and do's and dont's. (for your mountain too?) A "slow" sign would be just the beginning.
But I think the stiffy jump should be where people can get there first taste of air, and there should be a camera and movement sensor that posts pics of them flying through the air.
gypsy_kidGood luck on trying to protect these little dare devils
HC_mountainYeah, the thread is almost a train-wreck. But I have realized that the dildo-ski can be merged into the Meathammer.
The Meathammer is a ski-design I have been thinking about and discussed on this site, with a tail that is wider than the tip and a forward waist. Now I have realized it needs to have a slanted footbed created during ski construction (to provide the forward lean that the full reverse-camber would've provided in the standard Meathammer.)
I am almost sorry to brainstorm so publicly..
Ricky420If you give me a grand I will build this for you
HC_mountainThanks. Not sure your background, but I have no idea what's required to build this ski, and I don't think anyone does. Even if I were to give you a grand and you built it, I'd be worried it wouldn't perform well due to the construction (and not the design) and people would get the wrong impression.
The ski has a 177mm tail (98mm waist.) It's an exaggerated ski, and is going to warp especially under the g-forces put on it while skiing (my current ski did.) So I think it needs a special construction. That's part of the reason I am hoping/wanting to do a colab with Porsche or any hyper-car manufacturer (like McLaren) if I could chose anyone, although it'd be interesting to see what J-Skis or Zion Snowboards would create because the snowboard should also be built (it's also huge.)
Maybe I should talk to Ice-T's wife Coco who produce pleasure devices and ask for a $1000 dildo instead and try to ski on that.
Ricky420Or how a forward was would work, I feel like the slanted footbed might make a pressure point on the "waist" of the ski and create a weak point
HC_mountainI really have no idea what the precise impact of a slanted footbed would be on the ski, but I know it will create a forward angulation of the body, which is what I know is needed..
KneeDropWhy must you 'counter', and face the fall line?
HC_mountainYeah having a pressure point at the waist isn't such a bad idea (actually it's a great idea) if it leads to smooth turns or rather an overall even ski bend, and the waist could also be strengthened (heightened?) at that point. I really have no idea what the precise impact of a slanted footbed would be on the ski, but I know it will create a forward angulation of the body, which is what I know is needed.
The hyper-car colab is plausible idea but would only happen if the founder of one of those companies skied and took a personal liking to the idea.. Pagani?? I think the idea of having a fully synthetic ski devoid of wood could work if done well.
Yeah the design should be part of a movement, so feel free to build on your own accord.
Ricky420You might have to have a flat section between the slanted mounting part and then another slant to the flat part of the tip if that makes any sense[
