Check these out guys. This would be interesting to try. Sort of the odd stuff like the 2 types of old Ski Skats from Cypress Gardens. Any stories from folks on these? Who has tried these? Share thoughts or stories about these.

"Dog Bones" But that's about all I can offer. Can't recall if I was ever on any, but I did make myself a pair once many, many years ago. Actually I guess mine were better defined as "shoe skis" which were similar, a little shorter. Sort of a predecessor to today's barefoot "trainers". I have a very vague recollection of doing 180s on them, but that could just be wishful recalling.

My son has a set of shoe skis. Anyone connected with show skiing has seen or ridden these. They look about the same length as ours. I saw a guy pull a gainer (back flip going forward) off a jump in competition, on shoe skis, and stick the landing. One of the coolest tricks I've ever seen.

We called them dog bones in Ohio too Larry. Sort of like skiing on mini trick skis.
