A new way to GRIND!

Dear Sir,
My name is Nicolo Anastasi the Director Of Operations for ELDAR Innovations inc, a company that is working hard to push the limits of Freestyle Skiing. As you well know extreme sports has led many mountains to include terrain parks that include rails; the type one would use to manage down a set of stairs. We have developed a product that allows the skier to grind with his or her skis parallel to the rail rather than perpendicular. This opens the door to allow the skier to multiply the amount of tricks he or she can attempt. The, 'EL SOUL' can remain on your boot while skiing in normal conditions but we suggest that you remove it when skiing in powder, glades and other extreme conditions. The entire device, including the hardware is made of high-grade stainless steel with 6mm bolts holding the blade in place. The blade is easily removed on or off the mountain, so We are working on a, 'Quick Release' mechanism that will make it even easier, but we will cross that bridge when we get to it.
Looking back the idea came to Egan Picken quite a while ago, when he took the idea the soul grinding from rollerblading and applied it to skiing. About two years ago Egan asked me a help with his dream, and soon enough is was a dream of mine as well. We combined our resources, and produced our best design yet that performs as well as it looks. So far Egan has been the only one using it on a regular basis, because it requires some modifications to your boot to make it work.
We are in the process of editing the new footage and still shots we collected on the slopes of Beaver Creek,in Colorado. During my stay we ran into allot of people on the mountain that are extremely interested in the product, and would like to try it. I am curious to see how may people in this forum are interested in trying it as well. Last but not least I would like to say thank you to everybody in the freestyle skiing community for inspiring us along the way... we would not have come this far with out you.

P.S. I am looking for any feedback, good or bad to make our product more conducive to skiing community. You can check out our website (very cheesy) www.eldarinnovations.com to get a better idea of what I am talking about, and just to let you know the skier in the picture is Egan Picken. Thank you for your attention and I look forward to hearing from you soon.


Sincerely,
Nicolo A. Anastasi

I cannot believe anyone would actually stoop so low as to put the soul plates on their skis. I could not believe someone went through so much trouble at an attempt to downplay the sport we are bringing up from the ashes. This is a horrible idea, you need to find a better dream. If this ever takes a big catch in skiing and I even see it in any of the major ski videos I am going to go out and buy a snowboard, thats just how bad this idea is.



and more, much more than this, I did it my way

actually, i think it would be pretty funny to see in a ski video, as a novelty shot of course,maybe in the extras, but never as a legitimate trick option, sorry, i like the 'rollerblade steeze' but thats just awful

i also dont recall this working for any one maybe other than j at line when they had pics of it in their old catalogs. i could only see it working for skiboards since they r so much shorter. any one else notice how short the dudes skis r in those pics? gotta be some crazy small junior size or something.

Kinda dumb looking, but you can't blame the guy for trying to progress the sport equipment, and who knows, maybe someone might find a way to make those grinds look good.

They also look fun for messing around with, like the type of thing I would see Boyd Easley messing around on during his spare time.

^ It's people like you that are going to make skiing's progression come to a screaming hault faster than a 1080 spun over a 10ft. table.

Its nice to see people thinking of new stuff, but to be honest sliding rails the way its done now is fine, and it is allready hard enough to throw combos in. Also that would not work on anything but straight rails. I don't wanna be a dick, but honestly I would never use it.

nine milla killa, rollerblading is already in skiing as is skateboarding and snowboarding. skiing will never be rollerblading like snow boarding will never be skateboarding but all of these are influenced by each other and that cant be denied. i all actuallity i belive a ton of it goes way back to surfing.

it doesn't look like that good of an idea to me but i don't think we should punt it right away. give it a chance and maybe something good could come out of it. lets stay open to new ideas.

Not saying I'd use it but at least they have had a go at developing something new, who knows with a little bit of development and input it may turnout ok.

Yeah, I dont see this being a good idea at all. I think this will just re-gress the sport instead of pushing it farther into newschool skiing. By using your 'El Soul' we only further more complete the sterotype that we are rollerbladers. We want to push and progress our sport in a good way, not take something that Line has already tried and failed, and we certainly don't want to be associated with yet another part of snowblading. May God help anyone who purchases these things.
