Ski Brand Overlay Stickers to re-brand skis

**puregravity** · 12-31-2019, 03:17 PM

Interested to see if anyone has heard of this or has beta on a potential source.

I've got a variety of skis, some good, some bad, some better than me.
Problem is, none are in vogue in ski forums anymore.

So here's what I'm thinking.

= Ski Brand Stickers =

Buy, peel, stick
and voila
instantly re-brand your current ski into the latest instagram worthy
fap-worthy
big $$$
ski fad trend ski.

Think it would sell?
Do you know someone that makes these stickers?

Pretty sure that only 1 or 2 versions are needed in any given year to make sure I feel like I'm skiing the latest.

Any help appreciated.
(No, don't tell me to ski more, get out, exercise or get 'better' at skiing. I just want to look trendy. Thx)

edit: And also could help accentuate real talent, by re-branding really good skis as Volant Machete's or some other retro-ski from the 1970's 80's or late 90's!!! Perhaps even use some tricky effects to make skinny skis look fat or fattys look skinny, or faux side-cut!!

Praxinols. I'll take a set of GPO topsheet stickers for my Soul 7's.

Genius. I also propose a Forza color scheme decal set for non-Pivot bindings.

Brilliant!

Wasn't this actually done a long time ago?

I imagine everyone on this forum is too young to remember but back in the day you could buy stickers to cover beat up top sheets. Long, skinny, psychedelic or whatever.

Like those kids who had their moms sew the fake “Original Jams” tags on homemade shorts.

I believe it was called Ski Saver.

**GSinister** · 12-31-2019, 05:51 PM

Popular in the eighties. Well, semi-popular anyway.

I really want a dose of what you’re on. Can I PM you my address, I’ll pay shipping.

**babybear** · 12-31-2019, 06:02 PM

just spray paint the top sheets white and tell people they're prototypes that you can't tell them about yet

**SumJongGuy** · 12-31-2019, 06:09 PM

I heard FIS regs already banned the color red..

**daught** · 12-31-2019, 06:22 PM

How about stickers with less mounts?

If it was that easy you could just beat off instead of paying for sex .

**mcski** · 12-31-2019, 09:37 PM

I just saved $400

I really like this idea. Were you able to gain any traction with the correct type of material? Are there any modern day companies that are making custom overlay graphics?

Let me know! Would love to discuss over the phone.

Pro bike racers used to re-paint frames they liked in the brand of whatever team they happened to be on, duno if they still do that

Hi RedFlameJs, welcome to TGR! Yes, puregravity ended up selling this idea to Rontele and he has been producing them ever since. You can PM him for more details.

That could have been the best first post ever on trg

It is better to look good than ski good

I need a red sticker sheet for my skis to make them faster
