Ya that's what I thought you were talking about with chipping, that's not chipping.  Some skis actually have very large chunks of the topsheet chip of in one piece, like Armada for one.  It's nice that these are some that only fray at the edge, because you can't even see it with the busy graphics.  The topsheets aren't important really, but it's nice having some that hold up when they look so nice.

Thanks for the review, I was hoping to hear from a racer who likes to ski hard.

My Wrens did the same thing, but after about 40 days of skiing it really hasn't gotten any worse. I have one actual topsheet chip, and a bunch of little ones that really don't matter.

thats what i figured. it just hurt me seeing the first couple of nicks appear. i have never really posted a review before, i don't think mine is great. i just have to say that i love these skis. i feel like i can do anything. i actually landed my first cork 7s today (claim/blew me away how easy they were) and finally got really comfy throwing big switch spins. i think i have the skis to thank for the extra confidence.

I always land a new trick the day I get new park skis!  You're just so happy and stoked, especially when they perform so well.  And your review helped a lot by the way, thanks.

Pressing 181 Caylor and the remaining Cease and Desists tonight (191 Caylor after these are done). Kinda strange sleeping every other day, but at least I have a sleep schedule. Scott on the other hand is like a ski building yogi, I have no idea how he works on so little sleep.

If you didnt get your tracking number today, it either means you're in Canada (we ship USPS to Canada to avoid some charges you Canadians sometimes get with Fedex) or that I havent entered your number into the system, got a few more left I'm doing tonight in the few breaks I get with final prepping skis. The skis that went today and yesterday may have had weaksauce sticker packets (we ran out of a few), so to make up for it we're mailing you guys sticker packs later this week. Also, sticker packs will go on sale later this week.

Now then, I need a favor from you! Get a sweet ass picture of you on your skis. Show off them poppy colored bases, PM it to me, and if it's good enough to go into our website update, you'll win a big packet of stickers, new and old. You've got till next week (or till we actually stop work long enough to update our website), so get crackin.

Oh, and I'm going to make a maintinence guide on our skis for the precision-freaks. Lengths of edge we factory detune tip/tail so you can figure out your optinmal detune, how to build your own hot box, damage control and epoxy tricks - but for topsheets, I can tell you right now.

Some chipping will happen with all but titanium plated skis. A chip likes to get bigger, so stop them when they're small. After a hard days riding, or when you notice a especially troublesome one, get out some masking tape and 120 grit sandpaper (anything up to 220 works). Use masking tape to cover the topsheet so you dont scratch it with the paper and make it all uglyish, leave the chip exposed. Dont worry about the sidewalls, they're UHMW, they can take it. Sand the edges of the chip, especially where it comes back to meet the sidewall. If you're a real care freak, you'll take some 5 minute epoxy and apply a thin coat over the area of the chip, then let dry. Finally, remove any fiberglass splinters by rubbing the area with a gummi stone or something soft plasticy- just dont use your finger, fiberglass splinters SUCK. Remove the tape, go out riding again. Word of warning - you are sanding what is essentially nylon and fiberglass, so if you're doing anything over the size of a dime, wear a dust mask.

I am absolutely devastated. I just had the best two runs of my life.

MRG had 12" by 7am this morning, we got there about 9am. I'd estimate 14"-15" in the trees, with some deeper spots. Lapped the trees for easily the two best runs of my entire life, and I am confident in saying my BG's made them that much better. No pics, but I never realized the effect of rocker in pow - they were great. I had a blast popping of pow moguls and stomping everything.

At the end of the second run, we come down to a 45 minute line for the single chair. Apparently, they put the double on wind-hold (god knows why), leaving only ONE chair open. And that was the single.

So after brief consideration, my buddy and I decide to make the decision to hop in the car 40 minutes to hit up Bolton. I skipped my classes and work today, no way I'm going to miss this. So after driving 1.5 hours to get two (amazing) runs, we make the trip to Bolton Valley. What would be a 40 minute trip became an hour, due to the snow plow going 25 mph in front of us. No worries though, we still had 2.5 hours to ski.

We finally make it to Bolton, and we're coming around the corner and I see an ambulance parked at the bottom of the access road. Someone crashed, and the road would be closed for another 45 minutes. This shortened our potential skiing time to 1 hour before we had to be back for class, so we decided to call it quits.

Long story short, best day of my life, second day on BG's, epic snow, at least 14" everywhere, and I'm doing homework now. To whoever crashed their car: fuck you, you suck.

That's all.

So i know scott said to mount the Jmos -3, but should I still do that if I got the softer flex and am going to be using them in the park pretty often/ landing switch and what not?

David mounts his at center.  I feel like anywhere in between center and -3 is going to be personal preference based on how much you plan on using them in/out of the park.

All the jmos are pressed and cut.  We had a hose break on our grinder yesterday and Rowen's been trying to fix it all day, driving all around Portland trying to find something that will work, either a splice or something, but  the hose is some god damn euro hose and nothing is working.  We don't even know how it broke....We are super frustrated as we have like 20 pairs of skis just sitting waiting to be ground.  Wish us luck to find something to work first thing tomorrow...i dunno.  It really sucks.

Okay, found a fix. I'm going to rig the hose that broke with some sorta heat shielding tonight, but I'm super paranoid about it breaking again, cause if it does, it'll mean we need parts from Austria. Skis will ship tomorrow, you have my word.

I keep forgetting to post this...

If you are using these on rails and boxes, any of them....DETUNE YOUR EDGES UNDERFOOT.  If you don't, bad stuff will happen.  They are serious sharp,  They come basically with a race tune, which I hadn't thought about but definitely explains why the tops of taking a bit of a beating.  But seriously, David 270'ed on to a rail on his jmo first day, caught his edges horribly and body-rode the rail to pnw'ed.  So detune them if you are using them on rails/boxes.  You will definitely be happier.

YES.

If you are going to jib on them, DETUNE. Be aggressive with it underfoot. Sharp edges = rail destruction of your body.

I always just slide rails flat and easy until they detune naturally, plus word on the street is that David sucks so that could also explain it.  Pssh, I'm pro.

Thanks for the advice, I was wondering if I should detune mine when I get them, and I'd probably have ended up not doing it and killing myself xD

44" of snow in three days, then temps had to rise and rain had to come. The conditions today were straight corn, but it was still a good time. Can't wait to get these into dryer snow.

Wednesday was amazing - Thursday so/so, it started to get foggy though. Today was just meh, kinda like spring skiing already.

Knowing the east, temps will prolly drop like crazy and the mountain will be an ice skating rink.

You're still more likely to get caught and it's much worse for the life of the edges of the ski.  If you detune them manually they never have to go through any grabby or catchy phase.  They just end up rolling over really smoothly and become round.
If you don't detune them each time you slide something and get the least bit caught up it's putting a little more stress/friction on those edges.  It sorts weakens them. 

I've had upwards of 20 pairs of skis that I've used on rails.  I found that as soon as I started detuning them right away they lasted much, much longer.
