Looking to trade beer for press time, Bozeman

Post by Juanbendedknee »

A shot in the dark, but who doesn't like beer?

I am new to building and thought it would be best to press a pair before I jumped into building a press on my own (vacuum or otherwise).

I'm in Bozeman and just finished my press. It's a pneumatic press similar to the one in the Skibuilders how to section. Haven't pressed any sticks yet but my frame and bladder are ready to go. I'd be willing to let you use my press, but you'd probably have to make your own molds unless you want to build a rockered ski that's about 185 cm. If your for real serious pm me and maybe we can work something out.

Might be a good idea. Of course you need testing... I can ski pretty fast and out of control, great for TV!

I wonder if we can get carrie from mythbusters to join in.

Lets all meet up. I skied my old Jak BCs the other day, and realized how sloppy they were. I need 01s and new planks stat! (boots too)

Dream quiver:
DPS Lotus 138
DPS Lotus 120
Volkl Katana

The normal sizes are not as cool to think about. I mean, seriously- when people build skis, it seems they mostly want powder skis; as its as close as someone can get to face-shots during the summer (unless you count breahting in sawdust/epoxy fumes).

Yo- J-Raw, pm me/MM- were planning on meeting up soonish.

My 139's are mounted with o1's
