Hey guys so you may have seen the thread by Panojibber about me rockering my arvs in a crash, well it turns out that after a few more days of skiing on of my skis lost some rocker.  so i decided to rocker my skis at home by useing clamps weight and i heater.Click for larger imageClick for larger imageClick for larger image

the rocker worked well, except that the tips fall off a littl to the middle because of the slight table angle

I was also fooling arround with the idea of custom graphics and just made this one up pretty fast, Click for larger imageClick for larger imageClick for larger imageClick for larger image

now its your job to vote if i keep this graphic or get my art student buddie to make a new one ,

and if you want a step by step and the materials needed to make a graphic im glad to help

Really don't like your graphic.


Also, by painting them, do you think Armada will still warranty them?

i dig them.  but you've fucked with your skis sooo much now and it's not even december.

I'm on one hand proud, but on the other hand, dude those skis aren't going to last the whole season.
