Happy belated Finn! Thanks for reppin' out there! 🤘

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away convinced and I to build the widest, shortest ski in the world 150mm waist, 172cm long, symmetric, twin tip. Eric was determined to figure out how to make a ski that would allow him to stomp tricks backwards in pow like he did in the park. ⁠
⁠
This was around 20 years ago before there was such a thing as reverse camber, tip rocker or taper on skis and Pocket Rocket was the widest at 98mm waist. This specific version never worked well enough to justify releasing it to the public but it was an important prototype among hundreds of others that eventually led to some of our favorite modern pow ski designs. ⁠
⁠
Just like learning a new trick, figuring out a new ski design requires a lot of fails but if you're persistent enough, you'll eventually learn how far is too far, and do more of what works and stomp it. At one point told him if he kept trying to land backwards in pow they'd weren't going to film him because he was burning too much film slamming the back of his head tomahawking down the landings insisting it was possible, haaaa. ⁠
⁠
I just stumbled upon these in my basement archives last weekend so figured I'd share the story and couple shots of EP in mags skiing the wrong way on them. Now they live on the wall at so you can check out these wild skis in person!
