yeah i just put oakley stickers near the tips of my invaders. i'm just wondering what will happen after a big spill or if i cross my tips on accident. will they tear?
 
i have had a skullcandy sticker at the tip of my left ski all season and its been fine theres a few chips out of it from crossing my skis and falling but its stayed on so far just make sure you rub that puppy down and get them air bubbles out
 
aight thanks man. for the people wondering what i did here's a pic... there the oakley stickers on the tips

also make sure the ski is very clean when you apply the sticker (obviously this advice isn't applicable to you, but good to know for future reference)
 
yea you can heat them on when they are on the skis, wont matter. and you have the SAME EXACT setup as my friend. i thought they were his skis when i saw them
 
i tourched my stickers with a lighter and they have never came off or peeled.
haha but make sure if you do it you dont burn the sticker
 
i also torch mine (taught him that and he used my term, bastard^)
some melt like chrome stickers. mine just melted and got all gooey
 
lighter is more badass tho, nor really though, i just think its easier.
cuz i dont have a blowdryer and dont wanna go find my moms.
I have like 1000 stickers on my skis and helmet and they all stay on fine. with exception of half a gold chrome ns that melted but it was a lost cause anyway.
 
I have found that my stickers last longer at the tips of the skis. They are protected for the most part in front of your bindings. Behind the bindings more snow gets forced over the top sheets, therefore making it harder to keep stickers on the ski.

Anytime you wipe out or land with your skis crossed it can slice the sticker a bit. Your ski edge can damage the sticker, but I have never had it remove one.

When I first put a sticker on my skis, I always make sure to use a credit card or i.d. to scrape the decal and make sure it is really on there good.

Another trick I use is to take an Exacto Knife and cut at a 45 degree around the border of the sticker. This tapers the edges of the stickers and makes them less prone to catch and rip off. I do this to all the stickers on the tails of my skis and it really works great.

Lol now I am going to go try the heat trick!!!! thanks for the good thread.
 
thats odd, my stickers do not stay on my tips at all, but everything on the tails has been there all 28 days of the season so far and barely any scratches on them. i think its because i fall alot b/c im a BA and shit like that
 
lol. yeah somebody, not a fresskier, asked me what the n with lines on my ski were lol. i was like ns. and he said um theres most definitely not an s on your skis. i'm like maybe you should look at it the rest of the way up the lift lol. idk if its funny but it was on the spot
 
this doesn't soundlike it will work but i'm going to try today. after about 3 hours half of my oakley sticker was gone. both ns were gone lol
