Baller eleeski Posted February 10, 2020 Baller Share Posted February 10, 2020 @Jody_Seal Old school binding, old school honeycomb core, old school rubber edges - new ski! Proof that the old ways were pretty good. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted February 10, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted February 10, 2020 Here is some old school. It is a western Stinger honey comb that has some custom pinstripe work. Connelly high wrap and toe piece.. @eleeski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gsm_peter Posted February 10, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted February 10, 2020 @Jody_Seal When is a heal strap needed, what tricks? @KJackfrost Your RTP looks a bit special. Can you till us more? @eleeski Can you post your trick ski collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MuskokaKy Posted February 11, 2020 Baller Share Posted February 11, 2020 @gsm_peter heal straps are WAY more common than you think. :)Check out the instagram feed now with the feature boards shot. As for what specific tricks; i personally feel "more connected" during flips with the heal strap. Not needed but provides a nice "feel". to each their own but i do like @Jody_Seal 's set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller unksskis Posted February 11, 2020 Baller Share Posted February 11, 2020 Heelstrap helps for flips, as well as most wake tricks. Feel it also helps avoid injury when your back foot may come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller mmosley899 Posted February 11, 2020 Baller Share Posted February 11, 2020 @MuskokaKy yes, a Connelly Sync boot on my MOB release. A very comfortable boot that fits my narrow foot well.

Baller_ RichardDoane Posted February 11, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted February 11, 2020 @eleeski set me up with one of his superb creations years ago. But I also have a spare that makes a great shelf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJackfrost Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 @gsm_peter sorry for the delay. Busy week! I agree with what everybody said about it providing more control on flips. For me I could do most of my flips without the heel strap I am using but I think my control would be much less specifically on front flips and any flip taking off backwards. The extra connection to the back of your rear foot when trying to pull the tail of the ski around on a frontflip helps a lot! Same thing on the take off of a backflip taking off backwards. The heel strap allows you to have a crisp and more powerful release from the back of the ski. As for the setup, I use the toestrap of a snowboard binding that I can ratchet myself into. I attach both ends to a short strap I cut off of a duffel bag and then attach it to my trick plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted February 14, 2020 Baller Share Posted February 14, 2020 Crazy wintertime project (note the snow in Tahoe). A giant but legal trick ski. Works well for surface turns at very slow speeds (14 to 15mph). Not great for wake tricks but they were possible going faster (17mph). A converted kids wakeboard.

Baller skibrain Posted March 14, 2020 Baller Share Posted March 14, 2020 Somewhere between trick skis and shoe skis? I’ve had these beauties on display for many years. They deserve to be in someone else’s more complete collection. I just put them on S.I.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller DangerBoy Posted April 1, 2020 Baller Share Posted April 1, 2020 Cut 'n Jump Trickster Competitions in mint condition. From the early 70s I think? Only skied on twice for a very short period of time each time. The guy I bought them from said he bought them new thinking they'd be a heap 'o fun but they absolutely kicked his ass both times he tried them. To avoid serious injury, he gave up trying to ride them after the second attempt and never tried to ski on them again. He finally decided to sell them a few years ago and I gladly took them off his hands. They are in flawless condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
