I've finished my rough draft , but i still don't have a second interview. I feel pretty good about my paper, but i need better pictures. All that i can find are really old looking guys doing nothing cool.

I can't get a reply from the internet. So i only have one interview and one field research. I guess that monoskiing has gone way out of style.

I've dug up all of my dad's old skis and examined them. I took pictures, but i had trouble loading them onto the internet at my house, so we'll never see them.

I’ve got a small collection of monoski’s, but it’s hard to find another collector near by. My dad knows plenty about the ski’s so i will use him as an interview. I’m thinking that i will use the internet to find some other collectors.
