how about abs? i don`t know anything about waterskis, but on the wakeboards i once had a look at it seemed like they use abs for the sidewalls. i think you can`t wrap any plastic around edges, you`ll have to do it the same way as on skis: sidewalls for the running lenghts and tip&tail spaces for...

i know, it`s getting boring ;) those powder shoots start looking all the same. but this season is by far the best...ever? i just had 3 days of ripping pow from 8:30am to 4:30pm, 3 days with about 13`000 vertical meters each day. we nearly had the resort for ourself so we were really busy doing first...

@chrismp: i understood what you ment. and i was saying exactely the same, it`s all about area. i don`t know what kind of hose you`re using...but there are quite huge hoses on the market that would go for a snowboard/double ski press. if you took such a hose you probabely would get an even better sur...

well well well, i don`t think multiple hoses instead of 1 hose make any difference. the pressure gets distributed over the whole lenght in any case. if you use 1 hose an fill it with 5 bar or so the pressure will be 5 bar over the whole area on which the hose is in contact with the molds. same with ...

finally all the talking has an end and i`m able to show off some new sticks: http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2684/67/44/44511219563/n44511219563_1407712_3279423.jpg i was really busy skiing recently so i hardly found time to build skis. now the first pair is out, it`s called alberich an...

well then, excuse me, captain! and now take this! some storms hit my resort which was pretty funny. and pretty dded scary as the avalanches were really angry due to the wind and some weak layers underneath. one day was...let`s say...pretty evil. you had a hard time doing 3 turns in a row without tri...

the shot on the frontpage`s just great

hey rockaukum! after 2 days of bluebird i have to admit: i prefer those stormy snowy days like on your picture. of course the weather is nice on bluebird days, so great conditions to shoot some pictures with all this light and contrasts...but...the snow is just not as light and fluffy. or maybe it`s...

hey nick, sorry, somehow i forgot to answer you. well, my tip section... the mold on the picture above is about 180cm long. tip and tail are about 20 cm and rocker in tip and tail is about 25cm. zero camber. distance from tip to the widest part of the skis... maybe around 20-25cm. mine are shaped mo...

grizzly, admit it! you sat on your skis on this picture! ;) anyway, again some pretty sweet days, some more snow and freaking huge avalanches (luckily not triggered by anyone but blown up by snow patrolers in helicopters.) http://skibuilders.com/cpg/albums/userpics/10013/P1050611k.JPG i don`t like w...

whoa, those are some damn fine boards! congrats!

yeh, you got to differentiate a little: 3 stage rocker is better than no rocker at all. so if all those guys who wrote reviews never skied real rockered boards of course they`ll like this 3stage thingy. and remember where rocker comes from: yes, exactely, surfboards. have you ever seen a cornered su...

well then, i`m looking forward seeing some pictures you core seems quite thick to me. how heavy are your skis?

this could be something! do you really think water got soaked in by dry fibres? i can hardly imagine dry fibres that soak water that deep into a ski... where did the edges rust? just on the outmost part or on the whole width of the teeth? i had an other idea: due to vibrations, shear forces between ...

i can`t tell for sure about the bubbles. so i`ll pay a little closer attention to the bubbles the next time my base gets ripped of ;) luckiliy at the moment there is so much snow i don`t have to worry too much about rocks and such stuff. as i took my camera with me it`s time for some eyecandy: those...
