THEDIRTYBUBBLEDo a fucking double
SKRockies3's and 3's with grabs, both ways 270 out and maybe switchups
PowPirateski pow like a man possessed!!
spat_manMe and my cousin are finishing our first heated ski press in a couple months... So hopefully we can build a pretty good pair that we can test out before summer!
GrandThingsgrab tail
CheddarJackThis is "ski gabber" so these should be skiing goals
Crispy.Put together a decent season edit of myself without getting hurt!
ZennanYa we are!! and wow it costs more than I thought to build a pneumatic press :o
CadenmcculloughSwitch rodeo's... Tried one today and somehow it tuned into a switch Misty 7, Not going to complain...
Mingglearn how to land in bomb holes with style
CarinthiaCoachwhat are you using as a bladder?
A-cAllJust go fast and air over them problem solved
ZennanWe're using a firehose but probably going to have to be new as you literally cannot find anywhere a hose wide enough for what we want used. But what we're doing is buying the firehose and cutting it (with a circular saw) to a length a bit longer than our press then using some L angle bars and sealant to close it off. Afterwards were using a drill with one of those circle cup things that cuts circles (I forgot what it's called sorry haha) to cut a perfect circle in the bladder to place a valve that we will then again seal off with sealant so we can use our air compressor to pump up the bladder!
If you have any other questions 100% feel free to ask! We will be doing a full post when we're completely done and built a few pairs and tested them successfully as well! It takes a while when your in engineering at college as well haha. But ya don't have to wait for the post you can just ask whenever!
CarinthiaCoachSickkkkkk, it seems like that's the go to method for pneumatic presses.
I should have known you would be an engineering student - I am too (mechanical specializing in renewable energy) what's your focus?
The tool that I think you're referencing is a hole saw? how big is the valve you have to install? I feel like with a fire hose you might be better off using a regular drill bit, or a wood spade, or maybe even a hinge cutter if you can find one in the right size.
Any plans on how you're going to make your wood cores?
I'm looking forward to the results, between school and my various projects I probably wont have time for something like this until the summer but let me know if you guys ever want a little outsider perspective
SkierBetchLand one new flip with my new ACL!
I want the new one to be welcomed the way the old one went out, throwing bigger and better tricks. Any suggestions on what to go for?

SofaKingSickIMO backies, flats, rodeos, or underflips..whichever one you havent done and seems most comfortable to you..people vary wildly on that opinion as you probably know
SkierBetchMmm I think I wanna get into rodeos, they just have this clean flow about them that I appreciate. Plus it seems like a good off axis to start with after back flips since you can see see the ground almost throughout the entire spin.
I live like 30min from Woodward, I'll have plenty of time to learn it without ruining myself hopefully.
SofaKingSicknice, that's great! that way youll know risk-free what you can put to your feet. when i learned flips i was convinced rodeos would be easiest but it turned out my body likes backies and undies way more so air bags are super useful in my mind
SkierBetchThanks! I mean I ended up tearing my ACL doing backflips and that was after Woodward and landing them on roller skis on the BMX resi so nothing is guaranteed. I guess if everything was guaranteed without work, nobody would really have a good time.
I guess I'll just try all of them in the foam pit, see which ones stick first, work on those and come back for the rest!
SofaKingSickgreat attitude-- and beyond a certain skill requirement, flips are all about your mentality. literally easier than 3s IMO, just seem scarier at first
