    Sneak peak inside the PMG "factory" :-)

    It may seem like a very small step...but for a group of guys that have been scratchin & clawin to get this company, this dream, rollin, through numerous setbacks and no significant outside funding...we finally have our own first ski press up. So stoked. MANY thanks to Splat and TeleRob for working so hard to acquire it and get it setup and running. KICK ASS I'm so f-ing stoked and proud

    (now somebody get that Rossi hat off of TeleRob's melon)

    So why isn't it pumping out the gaperkiller pototypes?

    Just kidding, I'm happy for you guys, this probably means a lot for Pm gears stability.

    The camber? Absolutely.

    We have negated the need to build kickers. This is true innovation, like building square skis.
    Just sink your weight into the ski and walah! - you can get all flippy/spinny without ever hitting the lip.

    In other news, our Wintersteiger just arrived, along with a host of other goodies from Pickels' secret stored ski shop in Bozeman.

    You are DA MANG, Pickels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lemme know if you need volunteers for manual labor. I could qualify it as part of my "community service" events that I am required to do by my employer each year.

    I wanna see pictures of that set up... I shoulda tagged that with my name so you boys never forget

    Anything else you need you let me know. Always want to help out the maggots and a great cause. (I might order some 179's, I sold my 188's cause I think i might go back east this winter and at the same time)

    Whats the deal for ordering? The site is on 2005/06 still, but do you still use it? Do you have a rough delivery timetable? How stiff is super stiff? Sick of the JONG questions yet?

    I'm seriously considering grabbing a pair for expolts at UBC and U of W/B next season (Bros and Gotamas are what its between right now, maybe Pros.

    Stoked for you guys, making skis is a sweet dream to follow. I guess its not a dream because you're doing it... so... props!
