Been to the fridge a couple times lately and mine have stayed mostly green sadly.

Damn, hate to hear it...

Y'all clear topsheets chippin' easily too? I hit up Vishnu and they said it was an unfortunate design flaw with the color changing skis. Something about lack of adhesion between the color changing chemical sheet and the top layer.

Trim it where the topsheet is peeling and put some epoxy on there and it will hold up well

I guess I got unlucky, or didn't detune the tails enough.

It started out as a little nick like what you posted but as time continued it turned into a large portion that I could actively lift up. I tried to get ahead of the peeling by cutting away the topsheet layer that had lost its adhesive in hopes of saving the rest of the layers adhesive.1051542.jpeg

I'll cake some West System G/Flex 650 epoxy on the edge of the layer just to be safe though.

Yea I have the right ski and my buddy has the left, I put epoxy on mine pretty early, and my friend hasn’t put any epoxy and his is looking pretty bad.

Had some forza pivots I got for a deal. Definitely got stoked seeing the beadworks for the first time. Just had to get them.

I feel u, I sent it on some Ember Keys.. I don’t exactly “need” them but I couldn’t just let them slip away. Favorite V top sheet yet.

Kinda think the white pivs would look better on the silver metallic keys though. Neons were too clean too pass up though. If I had white boots...

The corduroy he posted looked really good, idk about the army helmets tho i'm sure some of you will buy them.

Something about a pile of helmets gives me weird vibes, especially considering these appear to be US M1 helmets.

Perhaps a pile of German Stahlhelms would better suit me as it would imply dead Nazis rather than US soldiers..? But then again what does a pile of helmets represent? Dead soldiers or an end of the war?

Maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

The issue with using German helmets is that we blew them all to pieces so it would just be a pile of blood and rubble for the top sheet (which would admittedly be hard). My hope is that making a helmet top sheet will inspire Young snow to avoid busting his skull open on a brick wall again by wearing a helmet.

yeah i think it's a rare miss for vushnu graphics. i don't think it's offensive, just kinda dumb

reminds me of that company on here years ago who posted a teaser pic, it was just their dumb name or logo over a shot of the landing at omaha beach lmao

Ohhh shit I didn’t even think of that… nice save. I get what he’s goin for, but maybe he could add something to it to make it look less dead soldier-y and more tough
 
I wouldn't really care if we didn't get 189 keys and Plus' but I feel like 189 wets and wides are needed.

Not enough sold or something? And agree with the keys, but the shape with 189 on the wides just feel so right
