Ahhh...got it, shows you how much I pay attention to skinny skis anymore... nice.

Not that i care but I think people over here in the US would be offended by that somewhat. A couple years ago you should have seen the uproar over Burton's Love snowboards featuring some old centerfold art from Playboy, nothing explicit but wicked backlash from the mommy groups.

I agree. And I remember that burton board too. There were so many pissed off mommy types that year. I thought they did a classy job with it. Apparently it's ok for their daughters to see half naked men in the mall but heaven forbid a women be on a snowboard.

Jan I'd rock the heck outta those!

awesome!
what's that table behind the skis with the blue trim?
is that for sublimation or some kind of graphics or something?

Beautiful Jan! That rocker is going to be a lot of fun.

(Doug, I think what you're looking at is Jan's Vacumaster3000

)

Thanks! They have been tested also(not by me yet) with good reviews! I have two rocker profiles, one lower, let's call it "Raven Red" and one alittle higher, "Raven green".

Yes, it's the almighty "Vacuumaster3000"!

FOG making rockered skis!
I like it OAC.
I think that's what the ski industry calls "progressive"

I always strive to follow the trends. I don't have any plans on checking out... yet!

Nice update. Contemplating a hot box build myself to speed up the cure.
