Just ain't gonna happen. But keep on keeping on bro, it's good stuff for sure.

Right.

Really they need to be skied to get a full understanding of what and how they do what they do. They also need to be used for a good amount of time (not sure how long) about 1 week at least I guess.

If I gave them to some reviewer for 3 runs they wouldn't get it.

That's the problem for me right now, but if there's a maker out there, they might want to build a version for themselves (I suggest with my input.)

When are you going to prove the concept by winning ze Chinese downhill?

Maybe whoever wins the Pain McShlockey Classic I could send to. But I'd definitely enter one if the chance arose.

Yet, I'm not really about proving or selling. It's all about the transformation of character... to become one's avatar.

Pat's dead but his character is not.



Now here, wax on is breathing through the heart and skiing forward the way you want to ski - slaying toward the good.

Wax off is adjusting to feedback, where both good (things that enter the heart) and bad (things that cause fear or pain and encapsulate the heart) are recorded and responded to (mainly the bad.)

After wax off, anything left remains in mind for processing during sleep, as are overall results of that day.

yes but i'm not trying to sell my great never before witnessed on the face of this earth invention either. that automatically drops you several rungs into hell.

If it's so important: I don't at all consider myself a troll and technically even if I was out just for attention (which I'm not) a troll is about garnering some negative reaction for lulz. I'm fundamentally about garnering quality feedback to improve what I'm doing, and sharing the wealth (if you want to call it that) or rather, just getting it out there, given how much energy I've put into it since 2002. I first dropped the poles in NZ in 2002 and changed my paradigm about skiing at that point. Also, I think I've got something to offer... you can argue with me on that... but until you try it, it'll be harder for you.

I went to EpicSki because someone here suggested I do so, and it wasn't me that made the first vid go semi-viral.
I stopped posting pretty soon after going to SBOL and EpicSki. I feel more comfortable now about posting here given how good the contraptions are in pow. I stopped posting to NS given the negative reactions, but there are some people interested on NS now after the last round of vids. I'd be selling myself and Li Po short if I walked away from it now. Anyhow, good luck to you.

who said anything about trolling? i don't doubt you're a true believer.

i just realized that you said the video went semi-viral! what does that even mean?

Actually, it was more of a meme, and I suppose a joke, and me being serious about it made it even funnier I suppose, or disturbing depending on how you saw it. But in a context, it changes.

Viral is when you have something and then for somebody else to get it, they need the same container. So want to be someone's friend on the internet, get FB, want to talk to someone, get Skype - a viral website and application. You want to heartcarve? You need the special skis... well actually you don't. People ski with their hearts without a second thought, I'm just making it more conscious I suppose.

(a meme is just like a news story or new topic that people share around)

Holy shit. That snowblade forum is hilarious. Why did you stop posting there! That was your only customer base.

Sort of like preaching to the choir. Needed more (as in opposing) points of view. Also, if my wares/style is so great, it should reemerge there, right?

Jesus. This heartcarving bullshit has been going on since 2007? And there are blueprints? Oh the humanity.

2002 to be exact but I only came up with a design mid-late last year after disappointment on the skiboards. If you want to truly build a pair, I have the details but it'd be difficult to replicate exactly without physical moulds.

Why is this back?

Because of Heartslayer.

You are trying to sell these little skis. No one is interested. Your marketing skills are horrible. You picked the wrong forum.

Commies are already indoctrinating no pole behavior into our children. I've seen groups of groms being taught by 'professional instructors' and even on the first day, no poles. It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign idea is introduced to our children without the knowledge of the parents, and certainly without any choice. I can no longer sit back and allow No Pole infiltration, No Pole indoctrination, No Pole subversion and the International No Pole conspiracy to sap and impurity all of our precious ski groms.

wow. somebody was quite them rockstar in them parts!
haha...i HEART pinkkid!

What am I supposed to do at this point? Win the Chinese Downhill?

Maybe I hold a Heartcarve Invitational in the Golan Heights for next winter, who would I invite, who would come?

.. perhaps people that create their own HC derivative models ..

Tom from Austria probably would. With his rax skis it can be a mutant ski shitshow.

Here is some pow with 110 skis. you can float.
Stop gooping the poop and schmow the pow

Stop using releasable bindings. You are making the rest of us pro snowlerbladers look like pussies.
Fuck.
-Snowlerjesus

As far as I'm concerned, HC makes skiboards/snowlerblades/snowblades irrelevant (and everything else actually.) I had too many dark nights of the soul to be able to improve on the design. If the guys at Revel8 kept iterating for another 10-15 years they'd end up with something like HC (if they're lucky.)
