a_pla5tic_bagJust buy kids bindings and set the DINs to minimum so you can clip out of the bindings like mountain bikers do with their pedals. That way you can clip out mid air and do a trick. You're on your own figuring out how to get back in though.
nick9955So when I was 8 I tried to glue one magnet to the bottom of my skis and one to the bottom of my boots so I could do the tricks like on SSX on playstation 2 where you could take take your skis off mid air. Obviously this didn't work I must have been using pva glue or something. Basically I wanna know if I did it again has anyone got any ideas to make it work and does anyone think that it is actually possible?
DominatorJacquesEasy as pie!

SofaKingSickMr. 9955, I'd like to sponsor you. I don't have a company, I just want to pay you to work on this trick
nick9955hmm maybe magnets won't work 😂😂
CaseyThere is a jerry video of a guy trying to kick his ski up into his hands from the ground using his toe and toe piece and he accidentally wings his ski up behind him through the window of a bus parked behind him. Priceless
eheethHonestly there's no reason this couldn't be done. Like already said, you just need electromagnets, but rather than modifying the ski, you could route out the toe and heel of the ski boot, but metal plates in, and have cables that run to some kind of battery in a small backpack - wouldn't have to be small at all. The backpack would power the electromagnets, and you would have a wireless relay on top of your pole, or like on your glove so if you touch your pointer and thumb together it would cut the circuit (obviously this bit might need refining - I wouldn't want to be wiggling my cold fingers and drop a ski on some poor kid by accident). When you release, the circuit would automatically go back on, so you only need to press to release the ski, then it would snap back on it's own (may need some sort of alignment aid).
As for the ski, all that you'd need would be basic metal plates mounted in place of bindings - nothing fancy at all.
VOILA
Statici feel like if you had one magnet ski and one regular ski youc ould make it work by favoring the real ski when you popped and landed
bluntsblunts...Fabian Boesch has already landed some detachable ski tricks. He actually won the most creative trick award at absolut park for one of those tricks last year.

nick9955oh you mean when he swung on the metal thing then flipped to clip in?
bluntsblunts...Not sure if you meant something like this, but he did detach his ski ...

marrowsOk now make plastic chairs on the lift because electro magnets that can hold a ski to a person are going to be strong as fuck, also so heavy that you won't be leaving the ground.

eheethThe electromagnets aren't holding the person, they're holding the ski - there are literally no cases where the magnets would be supporting the weight of the person. The only issue would be the lateral forces where the person may slide off the ski in extreme cases, but with alignment aids and nodules this could be prevented
marrowsWhat lol? If you're skiing on electromagnets without bindings the what is holding you to the ski when you're on a slope? Do you know what leverage is?
CaseyI think the problem here would be that having magnets strong enough to hold a full size person to skis wouod have to be really heavy. Also magnetic force gets weak really fast as distance increases, so if you hit a bump and your boot came up like a millimeter I think your skis would just fly off instantly
eheethIf you think of it as holding the ski to the person, not the other way around, it makes a lot more sense. The amount of force produced by an electromagnet for the weight is impressive, so I can't imagine the ski falling off accidentally with a proper design
CaseyWhether its the person being held to the ski or the ski being held to the person it makes no difference in physics, it describing the exact same equal and opposite force. What I am saying is that electro magnets do not provide the same eleasticity as springs, and the amount of force required to keep your skis on for the millisecond of peak force when you knuckle a huge jump would require 100 lb slabs of iron.
nick9955I think this is right. when a magnet is moved slightly out of place it looses alot of its power and the amount of force when you knuckle a jump could easily move the magnet so that it would loose enough power that the ski would not support you. the reason springs are good is because they are elastic whereas magnets are only strong when they are together
