Funny this resurfaced.
Update..
I showed Mom my On3p's last year when I was home visiting and she was quite intrigued with them. She hadnt seen shaped skis before let alone twin tips. She had fun reminiscing of the old straight skis she had with cable bindings. She doesnt really say much about me skiing I think she's just happy I found a fun sport to do during the winter. I loathed winter most my life until I learned how to ski.
Dad on the other hand surprised me with his reaction. He's usually pretty chill. ( Imagine in 70 year old retired country boy trucker voice) " Those are them trick skis huh? Be careful you could get really hurt"
Edited to add... Funny they let us do all these other "dangerous" sports with no problems
They let us ride our bikes all over the place, rollerblade, skateboard, tried snowboarding, and slide mach 10 down icy sledding hill on those old fashioned wood sleds with the metal runners.
