Old Skis

[Billek]

Last week I took my first pair of skis which were 70 cm Rossis from the 80's. They were so small I could spin a 3 on the ground without trying hard. They were kina fun to ski on because there were like 3" of tail because i had to put the back binding back incredibly far to fit my boot and I skied doing a tail press the whole time. The only broblem was the bindings were bad and even with the din cranked up full I would double eject EVERY time I spun off a jump. Well, I must have lookes stupid doing it, but it was fun has anyone else tried this?

i skied ancient rossi's 210cm with 2 bindings on each ski, fun as hell but very difficult to control (2 skiers on one pair of ski's) didn't try to jump on them, let alone spin

ive skiied on blades my first year of skiing, its easier to do that and then to use skis

They werent blades, they were the first pair of skis I ever got, which were bought used in 1995.
