rolling up to a basin, loveland for spring break and want to get into some of the more technical zones, but am unfamiliar with both spots. I'm down to ski whatever, but any advice on fun zones is helpful.
So with the swallow skis I’ve been designing for about a year now, I’m finally going all in on a press which means this summer I want to do a small production run? What are peoples thoughts on a softer flex vs a stiffer flex, for a surfy vs chargy feel? Damper or more pop? Obviously the market...
Idk if anyones done this three yet, but I’m hype asf cause the new sticks keep me stoked and I’m tryna share that-so let’s see the active quivers your people have
(right to left) DIY fishtail pow skis, volkl revolt 90, k2 poachers, line sakana
The sth2 is getting discontinued for the Strive which is kinda shitty. I want to buy your sth 13s and 16s so lmk cause they are the best binding ever and I need em
These guys have already gone so much better. Totally new shape so now the edge goes all the way back similar to the sakana. Ash stringers down the middle for less chatter. Router shaped base for perfect alignment. Curly anigre(African hardwood) topsheet which will be dope asf
Shape is more...
was looking at their catalog for this year and I think its the same as the candide 2.0? should I cop or no. i loved my candide 2.0s so really tempted to get them
Gonna document all the stuff for hopefully a second successful take on these skis.
so far I’ve got 2 cores and am currently attaching the sidewalls and aalso attaching edges to base rn.
Didn't heat treat so tips started to Delam a little bit, and I forgot to put on the top sheet... A lot of stuff went wrong. Basically I’m out a lot of cash, and really enjoy this but I’m in high school working a part time at my local shop- which I haven’t been able to go to lately cause life’s...
so a couple of weeks ago i made a thread about building a fishtail pow- skihttps://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/928336/Designed-a-weird-fishtail--wanted-to-get-anyones-advice
-and now I have all my cores milled to 10, but now I have to plane tips down to 2mm, Does anyone know what the best...
Ik I could’ve gone to ski builder forums for this but as far as geometry and everything goes I wanted to get anyones advice as to how it would perform if I built it. Core would be poplar and beech with carbon stringers.
ik there's map postings for this shit but I've been looking for to long, and I was wondering if anyone has a pair of griffons, or jesters or something they're willing to sell for like 50-100. I've got old squires on my declevitys but need to upgrade for obvious reasons. any thing is appreciated
