Ski ideas needed ASAP

or not...
trying to gather thoughts on it... I think I know the direction I want to go but I'm looking for other peoples input that might spark another idea.
I had a couple of ideas but don't feel 100% about them yet. First I was thinking about doing a complete plaid (I've got 3 different ideas of plaid) then leaving all 4 tips straight cut so that there is no color on them, then putting shapes of like bubbles or osmething across the ski and it would almost look 3d.
Then another idea I was trying to roll with was creating some sort of figure/animal (probably a monkey) at the top of the ski and make the sort of blend/run into the rest of the ski into a plaid theme...

Just make it a huge cock. pointing backwards so when the tails spray snow it looks like jizz.
but for real your ideas seem cool. although skis tend to get covered in snow so graphics aren't really a big deal. Unless your some east coast cracka and there's no snow.

Wow
Yes, pretty much what the other guy said, they will make your ski to whatever you want. If your really interested in purchasing a pair PM me.
I just checked the shipping... for some reason they had to go memphis before they came to Steamboat (ship from Teiluride).... strange, but they are suppose to be here Monday. I'll update with how they preform

for those of you still following or wondering I will post back (and thank you for the support), and for those of you who have pmed me please just read below unless you have a specific question.
After a little testing... its been a long story, I broke a pair of Rossignol 08 scratch boots after 2 days on them... (Rossignol you better read this!!!). Then I got a pair of technica boots again cause they rule. Finally after breaking in my second pair of boots I was able to really focus on the ski.
The ski literally feels like it adjusts to what I'm skiing... I don't really know how to explain it, its like nothing I've ever skied before. The initial flex on the ski was a bit softer than I thought it was going to be. However, when going straight down (and I mean at 60 - 80 mph) a hill the skis don't wobble one bit. The bases are SUPER fast, that a matter of fact I feel like Bode Miller at sometimes. I've been doing TONS of rails, lots of impact and I havn't seen one cracked edge yet (time will tell). We just got some 45 foot jumps setup and they seem to be perfect on those also, allowing me enough flex, but enough stability to land tricks (once we get big tables up, like 65 feet + then I'll really be able to tell on landings). I was even able to ski powder with these the other day without major lean back... and I'm even mounted at dead center.
Overall, the ski really really feels like one of a kind. It feels like skiing with 3 different pairs of skis that change to whatever I'm skiing.
And btw, no, I wasn't forced or instructed to write something up on these, I'm just super stoaked on them.
