Change for a Nickel

[LightlyToasted]

Yeah, clear silicone's your best bet but getting it to stick to the top-sheet will be a challenge. But Steve, if you've got some Gorilla glue residue left on your tips, that might be enough scuff to hold the pennies with silicone. Otherwise, you'll need to scuff the top-sheet to give the silly something to grab on to.

Last spring there was a guy up at A Basin hawking his "flo-skis". They were short and wide with a lot of side cut, with a plastic bag full of ball bearings and "suspension" oil adhered to each ski infront of the toe piece theoretically acting as a damper.
I was kind of drunk and wearing stretch pants and a mullet wig, so I decided to engage the guy in conversation but he couldn't tell me what size ball bearings or even what weight oil it was....just "suspension oil".
Has anyone else seen these things? Silly.

I just glue raw eggs to my skis.

They damp my mad spinning forces so I don't over rotate.

I don't know why, but that's about the funniest thing I've read in a long time!

The pennies popped off because of the flex and vibration in the ski, not because of the force exerted on the pennies. Don't go with a stronger glue, go with something more flexible - think clear silicon.

Last season, for closing day up at kwood, I re-mounted my shot-ski, and rode the pair of mis-matched 205's for the day (not quite longboards, but it's what I had). The shot glasses were held on by some "E3000" silicone adhesive(can't find a link) that my old roommate left at the house.

The two shot glasses behind the binding flew off as I continuously sat in the back seat. I was just happy none of them hit me in the back of the head. As it applies to the pennies, the two front shot glasses are still on there. The one right in front of the binding is gone, but I'd say if that stuff holds on some shot glasses, it'll hold pennies...

maybe more flexy glue and a mount (heh) closer to the center for less slap effect... and spill 'em on in a random order so folks'll be forever tellin ya you dropped some change...

now I've got this gem stuck in my head

Sitting on this barstool talking like a damn fool
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And I've given up hope on the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew
Is it any wonder I'm not crazy? Is it any wonder I'm sane at
all
Well I'm so tired of losing- I got nothing to do and all day to
do it
I go out cruisin' but I've no place to go and all night to get
there
Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal?
Is it any wonder I'm not in jail?
Is it any wonder I've got

Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a
calamity
I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away from
me
Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands

Well, I'm a jet fuel genius - I can solve the world's
problems
Without even trying
I have dozens of friends and the fun never ends
That is, as long as I'm buying
Is it any wonder I'm not the president
(He's not the president)
Is it any wonder I'm null and void?
Is it any wonder I've got

Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away at my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a
calamity
I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away from
me
Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands

I know three people with flo-skis, and they swear by them. They are real short in the tails, and the binders are mounted on this 2x4 like block. Real strange set up, but they like them, and they are decent skiers.
