i did this with my volkl sumos 2005, they now have huge tip rocker and decent tail rocker. BOO YAH!
jut clamped em in the middle and stuck some 2 x 4 in between the skis and i was away.
has anyone else done something like this?
yeh i will probs do this to my seths if i make em park specific
does callum pettit have a newschoolers account?
he has rockered seth vicious. i saw him up at whistler one day and he skis them in "The Massive"
just do it over the summer and leave it for like 3 months. i left my sumos for almost a year when i went to australia. what do u heat it with?
Rip the bindings off… its way easier to deal with the ski, if you cant, don’t worry about it, you can still manage to get the job done with the clamps on there.
I next built a jig. As you can see from the first pic, the jig holds the ski down under the foot, its bolted down to the table, and the ski is clamped to the first 2x4. I then marked on the ski where I wanted the rocker to start, and placed the other 2 2x4’s under the rocker points. Now the ski is set up to be torqued into position. Throw a couple of tie-downs around the tip and tail, and wrench the shit out of the ski. Remember that the ski is not going to stay as bent as you have it in the jib, so wrench is more then you want the rocker to be.
Now, hit it with heat, a couple of cycles heating it up, not to hot, warm-to-hot to touch, but not to the point of melting the ski. Keep your hand on it and you will feel if its getting to hot. Cycle that a couple of times over a couple of days and bingo, rockered skis.
