Finger Jibbin'

a couple years back i was really into fingerboarding lol they make wodden ones out of venneer, so i mad a pair of skis and built a park out of snow on my porch lol
 
Check out my new line pow sticks! they have a stacked paper and hot glue construction with a bulletproof duct tape topsheet and a fast p-tex base :D Any recommendations on where to get these mounted? I'm thinking 5mm back... There was a slight fire issue while melting the the p-tex on and the rocker got a little messed up, but I'm sure they'll ski fine!

Oke so after a lot of people asking for a tutorial on how to make my miniature skis I will now show you how in this tutorial.

We begin with the materials, there isn't alot you need:

A printer (which can print on thick photopaper)

Glue:

This is important no sisy 5 year old glue or a gluestick no you want

high grade instantglue, you want the one with the most warnings on the

package.This will ensure the ski will not delaminate.(get one of those

tipper versions: cause you need very little glue)

Scissors:

Manly scissors. Don't use little children scissors but get big titanium

scissors. (don't use a knife cause photopaper and knife don't mix very

well)

Paper:

the most important, use 10X15cm (4X6inch) 260gram instantdry

photopaper. This makes the ski stiff,firm & solid, but still

flexable and bendable.

A stock Photo (of the ski you want.)

Step 1:

Find a stockphoto atleast 1000 pixels wide and which has the basses in the exact same size (saves photoshop time).

I got made this one: (to save paper i combined 2 stock photos)

Step 2:

Print on highquality settings making sure the skis are printed completly.

Step 3:

Cut the skis out: first do a rough shape then do the exact contour leaving no white edge.

Step 4:

The most crucial: smear a tiny amount of glue over the entire length of the ski.

Step 5:

Now add the topsheet.

Remember that instantglue is instant (duh) so you can't change it after you applied the glue.

And make sure you attach the right pieces the right way round.

Step 6:

Trim the edges.

Step 7:

Repeat for other skis.

Step 8:

Gently bend in the desired shape.

Step 9:

Shred

Step 10:

Add some tiny rubberbands to keep them together for your next session.

If you look at my pcis you can see I've made some K2 Pontoons.

HIGH RES Templates for the 1st and 3rd ski which I designed myself can be found in my pictures.

 
I made these but I printed out the picture of them and used double sided tape to tape it to a cut out strip of a plastic folder. Then I just cut out the shape and they work awesome.
 
Hi guys, do you know how to make some boots and fix like a see in a couple of page.. for finger skis ?

Thanks!
 
My first model - Messed up on the top sheet, supposed to be the base ahaha

I think its pretty good for my first try!
 
has anyone made them so they are thick and dont flap at high speeds....im think like pop sickle stick cores and press them with camber and rocker
 
i use the newer then camber and rocker which is paper plater, nice and sturdy gives it a bit of a rocker shape and does not smack down against the snow repeatidly when going at absurdly high speeds.
 
Lol when I first saw this not yet a part of the forum I thought you guys were retarded but now I'm making 2 pairs Rosignol s2 pros( I have the same ones but grom size) and the k2 iron maiden revival skis( cause iron maiden is pretty cool) but instead of photo paper I am using pop can bases honeycomb box core and photo paper top sheet kinda sucks cause I don't have base graphics but I was wondering how to make good looking boots/ bindings to attach the skis any help please
 
am i the first to use layers glued and pressed together?

my finger s4's layer as followed,

base paper,light cardstock, creditcard, cardstock,topsheet. all with 99cent epoxy inbetween. made a mold and pressed them in.
