A while back I posted a thread asking you guys if you would buy them and you said u needed to see a prototype. Well here it is, obvi there are no boots on there but I’ll show you my options and see what you guys think would work best. I originally ordered these but I don’t love how soft the rubber is and plus they weren’t too cheap
Kept looking and I found these, which I really like


I’d also do graphics on the skis of actual skis irl and sell them in monthly drops kind of like what skards does. Feedback would be amazing let me know what you think!!

This is my karma for always thinking finger boards were the lamest thing in existence because I will probably unironically buy these

I realized you should probably make them extremely easy to flex , maybe out of a synthetic material , so you can give the impressions of nose butters. also imagine a prototype with triangle shapes bases running the entire length of the ski so you can carve.

skis on top of one of those each

The skis themselves are pretty stiff but I’m currently making a thinner one to see if I like it better

This is rad ngl. Can you find a way to make the mounting of the finger condoms stiffer to allow more control?

THEYRE FINGER CAPS ALRIGHT, and yea I just ordered some ones like the blue ones^ but they’re clear so hopefully those are stiffer, it’s just that rubber tends to be the best route because it can fit a wider range of fingers

You could also incorporate a forward lean of the “boots” since the bend of your fingers is similar to that of your legs.

Gonna surgically extend my index finger so I can shred these without the weird length difference. Also putting a swivel on my wrist so I can do more than 270 each way.

Sounds to me like you have a finger length discrepancy and youre going to need to go to a finger bootfitter

If your body is doing a 360 so is your hand. You may end up jumping around your bedroom 🤷‍♂️

Use your middle and ring finger instead. Then draw some poles on your index and pinky fingers.

I already planned on doing actual graphics so this isn’t a bad idea. Problem is each pair takes a while to make

Hopefully it exists, but if I keep this up I wanna get a cylinder machine that’s like made of sand paper and u turn it on and it spins, and I’ll use that to cut out the skis, because I’ll sit in there for over an hour in my garage just sanding the edges of the rectangle with 60 grit until I have the right shape. Hurts my fingers and is exhausted. It’s a labor of love

Cop a bench grinder from harbor freight for like 35 bucks. That's what you're looking for.

Next up: Make full sized versions of your finger skis, or finger skiskis to use their proper name.
