Both. Skis are 191cm (pulled tip to tail) 141/113/128. And Zoe is about 5'3". I was definitely funny to see her holding them.plywood wrote:either those skis are hughe or zoe is pretty petite....

And yeah, I think this topsheet came out great. My graphic guy has done a great job thus far.

This pair isn't my park ski. More designed as an everyday ski in the PNW. It was used a bit in the park and pipe at the West Coast Sessions at Meadows and Skibowl a few weeks ago and did fine. This was on 20-35 foot kickers and a pipe. But again, 191cm tip to tail, so a lot of ski and they weren't getting thrown around as much.PanoJibber wrote:Hey, did you use them for park at all, because I want to know if home made can handle park well. And if you did, what were you doing in the park, conditions, size of features etc.
My park ski is a 179cm and around 95 underfoot, so a lot smaller than this ski.

So.... How do you like the park skis then in general, whats their swing weight like, have you ever had any problems with them? I just really want to know how self-made park skis would hold up because I'm looking to build some myself.iggyskier wrote:This pair isn't my park ski. More designed as an everyday ski in the PNW.

Roll was from Composite one.
I currently have another 6 pairs done i need to finish, otherwise here is just a few more material prep pics.
All about to get cut up
VDS
if only...
One of my cats is strange
Packets containing vds and carbon for each ski I am building
tipspacers
Little jig for cutting material. makes it really easy to slide the base material and cut where i need to
Stock of base material and fiberglass broken up for 191cm, 186cm, and 179cm skis plus binding mats. 90+ binding mats and about 180 sections of glass
Lots more cores

still need to trim and finish the last six pairs, but otherwise 46 pairs fully completed. i will just post a bunch of pics now....9 different shapes.
this is about 40 pairs. a lot of taped together, so they look like one. guy is my buddy sam. sorry about quality, but camera screen got smashed so i cannot see things until they are on my computer.
i think 25 pairs or so just on far wall.
