Unable to get rid of our old straight skis on unsuspecting yard-sale goons (even in the free pile), the staff at Skiing began to wonder: How hard would it be to make unwanted boards go away in New York City?

The location is Tompkins Square Park, Manhattan. The skis lasted twenty minutes. And no—what you're about to see was not staged.
