What specific items would you consider to be 'holy' in the world of newschool skiing? Like the Ark of the Covenant to Judaism, the Holy Grail for Christianity, ect... what would skiing have?

Heres what I can come up with so far:

Tanner Hall's Boots from Chads Gap - I think I remember hearing they had to cut them off his feet in the ambulance or something. They would be epic.

Pollards Prophet 150 Prototypes - There was a picture of him with these bad boys, and I believe I saw a pair go on ebay a while back, though I cant be sure they were his.

A Pink Lock of JF's Mullet - Glorious.



Jon's Pink J Lindeberg prototype from TBC - The one he sports most of the movie, so pink, so cool.

JP Auclairs GT Racer - Numerous appearances in PBP's films.

C'mon, what else do we have?
 
I'd love one of those Keychains Jon gave out to all the competitors at this yeard JOI

Definitely Jons pink suit out of TBC! haha
 
The original 1080s for sure, but i think the holy grail of skiing would definitly be a mountain, some legendary moutain, that gets 3 feet of snow daily and limitless lines, a neverending park, etc.
 
Jon's Mad Trix - the most epic ski graphic ever, and it would have survived all the ridiculousness in Happy Dayz.

Jon's Moon Boots - that he used on the podium way back when and almost slipped and ate shit in.

Julien's Kendama - UP1.2.1 if you dont know what it is.
 
the bones of chompy

maybe like the first issue of freeze, since that shit just isnt floating around anywhere at all

there are other candidates, just have to think long and hard
 
I didnt want to say it.

Candides Pom Hat - The one he wore when he was hitting the Oakley spine in Ski Movie 3.
 
I have those boots, I still ride them. But they arent relics, we're talking one-of-a-kind-special-significance-in-ski-history-sorta-stuff.
 
...Is this the beginning of the start of a hunt for a collection for a Newschool ski museum?? That would be EPIC to see and visit.
 
I bought a single used Line Reactor (to replace a broken one, naturally) on ebay from a guy in Portland that swears it was Pollard's - There is writing on it that says "Eric +1".

I think a Reactor used by Pollard would qualify as a relic of newschool skiing.

 
JP's kendama from the up1 movies

a shovel used to build the Loop in Propoganda

Saucer boy's saucer
 
ahmet dadalis pole that hit his mouth in REALTIME

the bowling ball sammy threw at the floor

the tree steele hit

stefan thomas's tip of his finger that got cut off

the clock steele wore in LSS in the curly G cradle rock part
 
That reminds me, Mike Nick's snowblades!

Also, Mike Douglas' "Ma-i-ku" beanie with the Japanese characters.

And the Parkasaurus inflatable dino!

 
saucer boys saucer (and the bottle of whisky if possible)

the tube that was down cr's throat for 2 weeks

mcconkeys mounted water skis

the inflatable dinosaur from parkosaurus (a few snowboarders might want it too)

the tele skies that the patroller was riding when he tried to attend to mike wilson (after he shorted the 180 at aspen in yearbook) and fell right on his face.
 
i have the first issue of freeze, and a pair of (exactly center mounted, backwards 164cm) LINE 1260's from their first season of making skis (98-99), and a VHS of clay pigeons (kris ostness 1st vid) so i'm pretty partial to those three. otherwise some things come to mind....

mosley's mogul skis from 1998 gold medal olympic run (360 mute)

cusson's 1080's from the switch 720 X games big air gold.

the waterskis mcconkey mounted and rode

volant spatulas (as reverse camber/reverse sidecut becomes more and more popular)

ERIC POLLARD's 164 LINE 1260's from Clay Pigeons which he rides with no poles nearly a decade ago.

lastly... let it go haters... j lev's prototype skiboards for his school project. probably the first "newschool twin tips", even if they were only 80cm.
