    Description

    LUCKY BUMS Kids' ski tip hold-together clip/straps training aid in bright red/black NEW. Helps kids adopt and maintain a wedge ("pizza") position, which is the most customary start for learning skiing and advancing into turning. MFR suggests best for kids 2-5, who can do somewhat of a wedge starting out.
    Cut to your desired lengths, and attach, the sticky side of the unattached fuzzy Velcro portion to the ski; then affix the velcro on one red clip strap to it. Lay down those sticky pieces in a position where the strap you'll attach can be reached and clip easily to the other ski  ski/clip strap (make sure they're forward enough to be on the curved up portion of ski tip where they won't drag on snow under the ski. Clip/strap halves can be left on for continued use. Easy to buckle and unbuckle to facilitate walking, sliding, and chair lift usage.
    SELLER'S NOTES:
    I'm a nationally certified USA ski instructor, and IMHO, these ski attachments are much easier to use, and to open up and release, than "Edgie Wedgie" type products which have a thumb bolt on each end for affixing by screwing it down hard enough onto ski tips  . . . but skis often pull apart anyway, thus needing laborious re-fixing; or be unscrewed and released to walk/ride lifts, etc. We've also seen the Edgie Wedgie type quite visibly mar/damage ski tip surfaces from their concentrated pincer pressure at the small diameter of the bolt. Plus as kids get stronger and go faster, it's too easy for them to pull apart the thumb bolt attachment if it's not cranked down terrifically tight (further risking damage to skis).  Added bonus - - It's easy to purchase additional sticky/velcro mounting strips at craft stores and online, if you'd like to use these clip/straps on more than one set of skis (just make sure you get some with substantial gripping power).
