For a while i got really into it and made a ton, I made them short so theyre maneuverable but stretched the topsheet image on word so that it wouldn't be too skinny

Laurens' tutorial for the perfect miniature skiAlso in the finger jibbingcult:https://www.newschoolers.com/web/members/cultforumthread/thread_id/522677/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:ShredStep 10:Add some tiny rubberbands to keep them together for your next session.Showcase:

wait do you print the images on the photo paper or is the photo paper the top sheet.
 
best material to use for the ski is an old gift card. Just bend up the tips for twin tips and the cut it to the length you want. And I used duct tape for the bindings.

Someone teach me how to do a backflip on my finger skis

Honestly man, the biggest struggle in my finger skiing career is the fact that human wrists simply cannot rotate enough for flips and spins. My rail game is pretty strong ngl. But I'm limited by my mortal body when it comes to big air.
