Location: Oakland, CA, USA
Only up to 118 homicides this year
Techs: Skier666 and Slim
Synopsis: After months after months of searching, Slim found a brand new Salomon Jig. Combine that with drill, drill bit, wood glue, posidrive, a washer/dryer, and some 40's of our favorite malt beverage, the mount job is on. Armed with a Motorola RAZR cellphone cam at around 1 freaking mega-pixel, 666 walks into nomansland....
Victims: A pair of 185 06-07' Karmas, and Ninja 916s
Slim getting all "numbery" and stuff...
2 cm's from FR? "You mean 2 inches right?"
"You don't mind an extra hole do ya'"
"You can live with only two screws on the toe-piece right?"
The workbench...ghettotastic!
Ta Da! He did it....now we'll see what happens when I actually ride them
Big props to Slim for the mount....he's so smart

Ghetto? He used a jig, I was hoping for a paper template or something. weak.
People should learn endurance; they should learn to endure the discomforts of heat and cold, hunger and thirst; they should learn to be patient when receiving abuse and scorn; for it is the practice of endurance that quenches the fire of worldly passions which is burning up their bodies.

you want ghettotastic, i mounted my friend's naxos with no template, buy putting his boot in the binding, guestimating when it was at the midpoint, having a friend hold the toepiece down while I used an awl to mark where the holes should be, then drilled, mounted the toepiece, then mounted the heelpiece perfectly by guestimation. I did both skis like this, and they are friggin perfect. However, like you, I was in a basement laundry room, but I was drinking mickeys, not whatever you're drinking. The kicker, the one of the washing machines i was resting the ski on top of was actuall on, and someone didn't balance their load.

Don't take me too literal. Ghetto meaning Oakland and basement washer/dryer....jig = not so ghetto. 40's, OK so we're yuppies...Racer5, Newcastle, and some other fancy pants ale...you know like the ones you get by your university, soul skier

You should have done that at my local laundromat. They have Metal Slug there.

Gimme a shout when splattering on your visage and sacrificing your mouth weaponry. I'll make sure to bring a feeding cup along upon my next swing by in December.

You cheated and had a jig.
Idris remounted mine in Cham with a tape measure and sharpei. You must try harder at the ghetto.
Also the Marker strap in the last picture will cause the sallys to pre-release.
