sooo I bought the new JJs this year-- psyched to start skiing them... but, I just dont dig the topsheet too much. a buddy of mine with a board shop can cut vinyl stickers in any color out of AI files.... soooo i went to work in illustrator to make some sweetness-

heres what I have so far-- little low res-- but its all vector based so i can scale to any size--

Evil Dead style--


heres a link to the original topsheet

any suggestions? I have to fill in a little more-- the left ski bugs me out- im think of some kind of snowflake- or hokkaido logo with my name "ベンジ" in there-

Topsheets are overrated IMO.

Topsheets are overrated IMO. I do dig the Army of Darkness "this is my boom stick" idea, I think I would have gone with him holding the ski above his head instead of the pole though. Just for future reference you can never go wrong with big tits and guns.

actually- a good morning vietnam graphic-- some old school huey helicopters dropping skiers and a robin williams screaming into a mic might be very awesome.

cheers--

Yeah evil dead looks great.

Yeah evil dead looks great. Also any ski/snowboard looks great with some Romero stuff on it. Will customize my next one themed from the night of the living dead.

My current custom topsheet is the shark.

A platoon themed topsheet

A platoon themed topsheet would be nice too.

Have the guy holding up the skis and change the Vietcong to ski patrol.

that would be pretty hilarious-- awesome for a snowboard-- widescreen like, have a treeline and a shitton of commie ski patrol coming from the background, of down a slope in the background--

Tsu you are just putting a bullseye on your head with that picture.
I prefer a simple graphic. If the ski performs then I am sold.

Being the Papa I any I might make cartoon characters out of my kids and
put the pictures up of them.
