I was 5 years into my cabinet business here in St Petersburg Florida when conversation came up about making a ski with none other than Tim Skippy Miller who was working here at the time. Threw together some clamps some glue and some wood and shortly before departing for ski practice slapped it all together to leave it overnight. The next morning we came in pulled it out of the press and to our surprise, looked quite similar to a water ski. Wanting to test out the strength of the curve of the ski, we flipped it over and drove over it with a van that I was driving at the time and to our surprise it held up to the test. I made a couple of phone calls to SeaWorld Orlando and Gardens. A couple weeks later we drove test skis to Sea World Orlando first and then to the Gardens. I wanted to get them into a full-time show to expedite the R&D stages. Seems like yesterday. Many thanks,,, to all who have made the choice to give a Classic a ride!

General information regarding mounting your swivel binder to your ski. There should be no need to add anything other than the four screws supplied with your swivel binding. The full-time girls skiing at Legoland Florida ski roughly 900 shows a year, most have had there skis mounted for a couple of years, thats roughly 1,800 shows on skis mounted with just 4 screws. Using silicone or some other adhesion will only make it more difficult to get the binder off without damaging the ski when it comes to refinishing.

While doing a little bit of spring cleaning here at the shop I stumbled on this little gem. The first Classic Ski made in Oct. 1984 can't believe I still have it!
