Dude, let me tell you why bananas are like, totally awesome! Picture this: you're cruising down life’s highway, feeling kinda meh, right? Then, BAM! You remember you got a banana in your bag. Suddenly, life’s good!

Let’s talk packaging. Bananas come with their own snazzy jacket! No need for those fancy peelers or slicers. Just peel and reveal. It’s like nature’s candy bar, but without the guilt. Plus, they’re packed with potassium, which is super important for keeping your muscles from cramping when you’re shredding the gnar!

But wait, there's more! Ever tried a banana phone? Sure, it doesn’t get great reception, but it might make someone laugh. How about banana splits? Strange but true, they even make ice cream better! Or toss a frozen banana in your smoothie—it’s like an instant tropical vacation, minus the sand in your shorts.

It gets crazier. Bananas are the ultimate flavor chameleons, going from green to yellow to brown. They can actually tell us how they feel using bananatelepathy! They’re the ultimate homies of the fruit world. So next time you’re feeling down, stay rad and GO BANANAS! 🍌

I dipped the tip of a banana in ink to hand-sign and number each of the 200 pairs of this new Limited Edition graphic on “The Joyride” ski. They’re going to sell out fast, so don’t slip on this one… go bananas!

This shred stick makes skiing more fun, with less effort, for more skiers!

"The Joyride’s" lively flex will pop you in and out of turns and have you playing all over the mountain like you’re in a video game, about to get the high score! At 90mm underfoot, it rips quick turns, supported by a long camber and minimal rocker that grips firm snow without even trying. Our signature Maple wood core, full-height sidewall, and extra-thick base and edge have got your back… you’ve never experienced durability like this before! "The Joyride" is also available in the largest size range we’ve ever offered, from 140-182cm, so kids, teens, adults, and extraterrestrials can all enjoy the ride. Whether you’re just getting into skiing or on your way to the X Games, you’ll be gripping, ripping, popping, bumping, buttering, and slaying the resort, having more fun with less effort than ever before. Enjoy the ride!

    Super fun ski. Really light swingweight so I found them easy to bring around. A very joyful ride.

    - Newschoolers

    Thanks to its soft flex pattern and low swing weight, the Joyride is easy to whip around both on the snow and in the air.

    - Blister Gear Review

    Buttery, yet trustworthy, with a pension for carving firm snow. Would 'swipe right' on these.

    Learned some butter tricks on these skis this week. They felt so fun!

The Finest Materials

Carbon Fiber Construction

By selling these skis factory direct to you, we're able to invest more money into using the highest quality materials possible for a game-changing level of premium performance & durability.

Carbon FiberCarbon Fiber

Carbon Fiber

Lighter with more energy & pop than fiberglass
Just like fiberglass carbon needs to be fully stretched like a guitar string to give you the most pop. Unlike other brands of skis with wavy black carbon, not stretched, thus you’re not getting the energy out of it, we use pre-cured, pre-stretched carbon fiber laminates. This means the carbon is pre-stretched & cured under perfect conditions at the carbon fiber production facility prior to us receiving it. This pre-cured carbon laminate is twice the cost but also gives you many more times the performance. You’ll feel it!

Maple Wood Core

Highest quality wood for a lively energetic feel & long life
The factory is located in Quebec Canada, so we got Maple, eh! Maple is a very expensive high quality hard wood, thus the reason it’s used to build floors and furniture in your house that lasts a lifetime. Maple absorbs impact, and has a ton of energy for a very ski feel and long life. We run 4 – 20mm wide Maple laminates the entire length of the core, plus 100% under your foot for unprecedented energy, durability & binding screw retention. At the tips of my skis you’ll see more of the light colored Aspen which is incredibly lightweight with plenty strong when laminated alongside Maple for reduced swing weight at the tips.

Full Height Sidewalls

Maximum impact resistant & vibration dampening
We’re using super durable, high impact absorbing Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) polyethylene for our sidewalls. This is the same material we use on our ski's bases. It’s very impact resistant and since it’s full height, it also absorbs more vibration like using a longer spring in your car’s suspension. Take a metal pipe and hit it against a rock, then do the same with a piece of plastic. The metal vibrates through to your bones & the plastic absorbs the vibration for you. That’s the difference of having full height plastic shock absorbing sidewalls over your edges or not. We’re cutting the sides of the sidewalls to a 10* angle, with a nice step at the bottom for easy tuning like race skis.

Extra Thick Edge

The thickest, most durable edge in the industry
We use the thickest hardened steel edges in the industry 2.2mm x 2.5mm. More metal = more durable. Whether you’re accidentally hitting a rock or purposely sliding a rail, you’re edges will live a much longer life. You’ll also be able to re-tune many more times or file them round to slide rails longer.

High Performance Base

The fastest, thickest, most durable base material
I don’t match my clothes, but I always match my base & edge. We use the thickest edge so I also use the thickest base in the industry 1.8mm. I use sintered Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) Polyethylene, the highest quality base material available. It absorbs wax better, slides faster, and is more durable than any other base material. Basically it’s super hard & fast, like your _______ likes it.

Quasitropic Fiberglass

Fibers run in 4 directions to maximize energy & strength
Fiberglass works like a guitar string, when it is flexed it wants to spring back, that’s the energy or pop you feel in a ski. However this energy can only be applied in the direction the actual fiberglass is run. This means the more directions of fiberglass, the more energy, pop & responsiveness. Industry standard “Triaxial” fiberglass runs in only three directions, we use a Quasi Isotropic fiberglass configuration, same as the aerospace industry to maximize energy & strength in as many directions as possible, 4 different axis 0, 90, +45, -45. It costs more, but it’s worth the performance.
