Been curious about cutting fish scales into the ptex of a split deck. Cross country skis still seem pretty fast going downhill. Could possibly use a router jig to cut a similar pattern to yours huck, just couldn't be as pronounced due to ptex thickness. Could still have the option to put skins on w...

I'll take my 176cm out if you try a mini board! I already know how that rides.

Yea I hear you. That was a lame test on a flat slope and riding blind. I posted that for a coulpe guys who were interested in how much drag there was. I have a 168cm that's pretty fun but the 133cm is still more fun. Have you seen the size of the boards guys are using for no boarding? I take those p...

http://vimeo.com/38662068 Here's todays test. Low visibility so I couldn't cut loose. So in sticky fresh snow the skinless climbed well but felt about 15% more drag on the downhill. At 2 minutes in the vid I switch to the 135cm full rockered board made for these conditions. Very fun to ride. It is r...

If you can use a hard sanding block and wet sand the epoxy flat. Build up a few coats of Poly, wet sand to 600 grit then buff with automotive compounds. Should come out better than a new car finish. http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6076/6144121729_6cf651f8d9.jpg moosfinal040 by Huck Pitueee , on Flickr

Sorry I don't have an answere. All the wax rubbed off the test base on the climb so I was down to wet bare wood for the DH. On the short run on the crust it felt draggy for good reason. On the climb there was a short flat downhill section and it felt about twice as slick as skins. That was shown in ...

The wood was pretty sticky by the time I went down but it had insane edge grip on that crust. Even with the redwood getting all rounded over. I need to do more testing but in pow it should ride fine. It had sweet glide when touring. Way more than skins. I'm thinking about having no scales within an ...

Here's a mad experiment that seems to work.
For back country you need skins for climbing and they are slow to apply and remove. They have some issues like snow sticks to them and they get heavy when wet. The tough part is being on an exposed ridge changing these sticky strips in a 50 mph wind. So here's an alternative. http://vimeo.com/381297...
