Anybody else think the Fischer Jibskate is silly?

[thewavebb]

I was cruising around and ran into the Jibskate. I guess there is a new wave of extreme cross-country skiing and they made a ski for it. It just seems dumb to me.

check out the webpage on it.

hahahah , i would have loved those back when i went cross country skiing with my mom when i was like 8. yea , they look gay, i love the pic of the guy falling on the front page

 

[vRoy]

haha. so dumb. trust fischer to do that.

 

[skifiend]

I guess more power to them, but XC has never been my thing...too slow!

sooooooo sick. i'm totally gonna buy that. XC skiers are so badass

 

[skimasterflex]

So it's a CC jib ski?

 

[Aasert]

Ive been doing that for years, to bad your skis are like 30mm wide and you die when u land

 

[espen^R]

i would love to have those on the traditionally cross country school trips.

 

[Whitehead]

Hahaha yeah i saw those awhile ago, i dont know who would ever bother spending money on those.. but hey, if you like it, go for it.

[ATLskier]

[huckster989]

hehe

 

[Badfish2]

[freestyle_skier6]

They are gay as hell but u cant rip on them, its what they like to do. Its like how everyone calls up crazy and stupid.

if you click on "What is Jibskate?" it has a ridiculous list of tricks you can do, for example a half cab mute grab. it doesn't say anything about corked spins or safety grabs so i guess you are not allowed to do those.

 

[TimmyP]

its just an attempt to revive a dying sport

 

[Literature]

Holy shit. They are bringing spandex steeze to a previously cool location near you.

 

[Typical]

hahahaha yet another horrible invention from the ski industry.

 

[eastAR5]

possibly the gayest idea since snowblades. i am ashamed to be a skier right now

Andy Newell is currently the hottest Nordic skier in the US not only because he’s the US sprint champion, on the US ski team, and headed for the Torino Olympics in Italy, but he’s also a master of big air on Fischer Jibskates. Andy has been Fischer’s top Jibskate tester and he kinda likes ‘em. When Newell isn’t competing for top places in Nordic racing, you’ll find him going big in terrain parks pulling giant back flips and switch cork 540’s. He tends to dominate our photo gallery and makes his own Nordic movies where he’s been known to throw in a few big air shots. You can purchase his movies and check out his latest news at www.xskifilms.com.

i can not actually believe that people are doing this.....thats just ridiculously lame......just wait for urban xc.......

 

[jarossamdb7]

intrigueing idea. didnt turn out so good. just keep to the telimarking in the parks, thats much cooler.

 

[DuncanK]

Thats the funniets thing i have ever seen

 

[whashisface]

That's worse than snowblading. Why?????

 

[skiierman]

Bahahhahhahah! Do they purposly try to set skiing back before Moseley's 360 mute at the Olympics?

 

[jpro]

omg if I see someone with that....

just why did they do that

 

[cams]

That's terrible.

 

[k2yeags]

hhaahah

 

[dwalk]

looks so funny

 

[Download-My-Apps]

i jsut dont see the point, if you're gunna dotricks on skis buy twin tips. CC skis are made going fast on flats. leave the jumps for the down, they would have been wise to have just spend their money making better twins.

 

[skiman523]

whats next... the first "cross-country back country ski"

 

[twintips88]

if i see anyone on those i will punch him/her in the face..... and than snap the skis

 

[Girays_Brother]

hahahhaah

 

[twintipteles]

dude, if i saw someone pull a sw-cork 5 on xc skis i would think it was the sickest thing ever, thats like the ultimate of people not listening to others and just doing their own thing.

 

[pvspencer22]

BUMP

I figured this needed to be bumped because on OCT 26th Fischer is going to have the new site features up OMG!!

I know you will all want a jibskate wallpaper for your PC!

 

[.hazen.]

im gonna go ahead and throw out some love here - i think its sick. i love getting high and cross country skiing with friends, and i always wished you could do this. it does look a little silly though

 

[4frntSkier]

haha

priceless

they should be embaressed

 

[poofartpee]

yeah i saw that in a shop and i was like "that is the gayest shit i have seen since that nextsport scooter thing"

 

[$tezzyStu]

thats rediclous. why wouldnt't you just free style telly?

 

[lastxlight]

that would be pretty fun id say, would never take over tele or normal twins, but still pretty cool

 

[jbadrian]

that was hilarious, was it a joke?

 

[mohawkskier]

jib skates wave of the futre every one laugh now but i seeit getting huge!!!!!!!

 

[Sholte]

wow, i gotta say, is this a joke? well i guess fisher has lost there minds.

 

[dozerr]

wouldnt they break easy

 

[saskskier]

i hope somebody i know gets them so i can can make fun of them to no end

 

[andy_boy]

So fucking queer.
