during the wsc i saw pep (at pipe bottom) riding k2 race skis only they were mounted backwards for switch ripping only! im not sure if this is thread worthy but i thought it was pretty funny to see in person!
 
what is so unlikley about it. Its actully very likley knowing pep! Anyways I didnt make that up, ask anyone who rides PC on the daily and im sure they've seen pep do crazier things!
 
pep was doing it for the ultimate switch carving turns, i guess he was doing full layback turns the other day switch.. he said it was super fun.
 
haha yea thats pretty rad but as that other dude said it'd be a bitch in the lift queue

and getting so many comments from gapers.. 'look mommy that man has his skis on backwards'
 
my youngest son races fischer and the tails are turned up slightly, he skis them switch all the time, they can be skated, carefully........
 
have you ever skied a race ski? carve way better than any other twin tip. so much better on edge hold
 
i've had an idea for a binding that i have been thinking about patenting, that instead of just having htem stationary you can switch them around so if you mounte the ski center you can switch them around and it'd make shit better, either that or make a binding that alows you to reverse load.. aka put your bindings on backwards... anyone think this'd be sick? cause i'm starting a business some time soon and i think i may do the whole hting, like solomon, and rossignol
 
damn, i've been talking about doing that for years. i've just never been able to procure a free pair of race sticks. oh well, i'm sure pep is wearing it better than i would.
 
actually skiing switch on skis that don't have a twin isn't really that hard. Skating wouldn't really be a problem either.

As far as starting a trend......that would mean you would have to up you're quiver quite a bit. Skiing w/o poles is easy to do because it doesn't cost any extra money. Skiing with backward bindings is going to cost you money.
 
haha very nice...some guy at my hill did that a few years back and everyone was like "holy shit" when he went down the hill
