Reverse Camber v. Reverse Sidecut v. Pintail v. Traditional

[Below Zero]

this is the dumbest thread I have ever read.

you guys are arguing back and forth about nothing. whatever ski you like, ski it. fuck.....it's that simple.

Says the JONG with 33 posts. How many posts have you read, cause I've seen way dumber! Tell us how it's done, BRAH!

Spray paint? Contact paper? etc.

I've actually given up hoping for cleaner ski graphics (ok, Dp skis are great but so are their price). And I've been thinking that a bottle of black spray paint would just do it. Even if it looks totally fugly that way too, atleast it would be kind of a statement... (think Hellbents painted totally black!)

I hear ya.

Volkl's graphics used to be super-clean (how hot was the buddha line?). I miss those graphics.

The sumo graphic is pretty fucking clean. Too bad it comes with a leather topshit.

Ive already been thinking of this and ways to attach it and make it easily adjustable. Just need some time where Im not busy with everything else.
Oh yea, and I also need to work on the binding plate deal, although it might be kinda pointless with the duke and whatever BD's supertopsecret binding is in the future.

Im also combining the adjustable rocker idea with a ballast idea that I think would be especially useful with varying conditions.

What would the leverage ratio for some sort of flip to tension a wire/ rocker the tips and tails be? I feel like it would be quite large and difficult to get a noticible effect without an intricate system.

What if you started with a rockered ski and added different rods ala the rossi multix (or something) system. They could press the tip and tail back into flat or even positive camber. This would also stiffen the ski for use on hard snow. Remove the rods and voila, you're back to the reverse camber.
