How to cut skins (the skins are OK)

These skins are way too bomb proof and too heavy and too stiff. They are extremely grippy and have lower glide than some. Get the glidelites instead. The best way to cut them is to throw the BD instructions and razor into to rubbish. You should simply slice the backing paper at each fold and then fit the skins to the ski with the cut backing paper still on to get the right length. Draw on the paper around the ski profile and then with a set of disposable paper scissors cut 2mm inside this line. This is sooo easy. It is known as the SJH method. I am up to 13 pairs of skins now.
