A brief video tour of Karhu/Line's ski factory, including the construction of the Jak/Mothership:

Mitch is a cool guy. He also runs freeheelskier.com which is an NS tele site (it's a secondary project, so it's nowhere near as nice as telemarktips). You can find some sick footage there. If only I could get some good video footage of me so I could win those Ruckits he's giving away...

Yeah, Russel Rainey makes the Hammerhead binding. While a lot of people like it, I prefer plate bindings (I have an alpine background) - it gives me a powerful telemark turn and it allows me to make parallel turns when I want to.

I'm currently on Skyhoys, but plan on switching to the Bomber Bishop telemark binding (the sub plate system will let me switch the binding among skis in my quiver).

My next ski plans are the Karhu Ruckit for the park and freeriding, the Karhu Jak for epic days and my trips out west, and the upcoming Karhu Rox for tele-cross events and those days I just feel like ripping straightlines.

Foam core skis take a little less time, since the PU is injected into the mold, but still - skis making isn't as automated as a lot of us think. At least the video should make a lot of people think twice about saying that Line's skis still aren't quiality.
