Quite a few, yup. I'm available to assist if needed.

I don’t want to squander than chance for some custom goats, but that stock topsheet looks so good…

Those topsheets will look great with orange sidewalls...

Was waiting to ask this question til the site was finished, but curious if this would be the case for the J96, and all other sticks that are custom options but not listed outside of custom?

We moved everything under 100mm custom (outside the Charlie Murphy).

[iggyskier]

I just think it’s awesome that he’s doing all these cool weird graphics. I kinda hate all ski graphics so for me the clear and dazzle are both like “anti-graphics” and I love it.

The fun thing about custom tops is that we are basically hedging towards people's personal style outside our normal graphics. It isn't like a Hawaiian pattern is particular unique, or a pink top is particularly unique, etc. But (on the more elaborate ones) sort of fun to guess and see if we can figure out something relatively generic that people connect with. Definitely some personal stuff in there for me too (Midnight, Sleet, Dazzle, the 1942 Frog).

It is sometimes interesting to see which ones really come through at volume. Even, say, on the color end (where its basically Black....White/Pink.........Purple............................. everything else).

Scott wants to have them build mine first and use them for the product shots which would be fine by me…!

This is the way. I'm definitely guilt of snagging a custom from finishing to photograph if it has a topsheet/sidewall combo I like. Too many options to get content for em all.

I am glad Iggy is planning to add more up close photos of the skis. The current ones do not do justice to the awesomeness of the finish and various designs - they just look sooooo good up close and out in the wild.

Yeah definitely an area for needed improvements.

If custom order, does it have the same core changes made to the rest of the WD line?

Yes models that are custom only still get the design updates.

[iggyskier]

Looking at the Billy Goat page and it shows 4 graphics. Does that mean those are options available at no up charge?

Yes everything is price matched to stock. I've had a few people ask if there are more of these in-stock customs coming and right now we don't have any planned. So what is listed is what will be available outside a built-to-order custom route.

[iggyskier]

So Iggy...if I was previously on the 191/189, but more just to float my heft (not because my radness required it), is 187 the call now that you tweaked the shape for more float? The previous 184 was stable enough for me and more fun in trees, but not enough float at 210lbs.

Yes in this case 187.

Lol I know. Made it so the 115mm breaks just fit over the BG shape and that is where size ended up. Gonna need to spend a bit of time on it tomorrow.

Just going no brakes.

had to make a user name, can't log into my old email

Good name. Aevospace has potential to be a cool custom top idea. Maybe a resurrection in space? Too bad we don't have the 191 Wren stuff around anymore. Shoot me an email if you want on the Wren 110 this week and I can give you my thoughts. Too many posts to read right now.

Finally, lady goats. Think you let the cat out of the bag lol

A 167/172 110 is the drawing board right now. We'll see.

There is no image.

Yeah sorry about that...

After obsessing over models, layups and graphics this past weekend, this year's custom summer sale order has finally been placed! Huzzah!

This will hopefully be the last time I order skis in quite some time - famous last words I know. I am fairly certain that my quiver will be more than dialed enough for the foreseeable future though - a lot of effort has gone into it over the past 3-4 years, culminating in the 2022 lineup. I had not planned on getting any new sticks this summer, but the updates were just too much in line with the changes I wanted my current skis to have not to.

I can't wait to get on these: Wood110 182 50/50, to be mounted with Tectons

I am eagerly awaiting your review.

Space Hypno Cats have taken over my brain

but I'm also trying to get back into the Engineering thing, Aerospace/Mechanical and Materials.

I will email you on some Wren stuff soon for sure.

Oh ya..

righhhhht.

Wish you were a size up so i could take the sticks you rotate out of the quiver off your hands over here in Norway!

I am actually amazed that there isn't already more kitties in the sky / space themed graphics from ON3P (?), other than the PS graphic.



I mean, the Laser Cat in the Sky graphic almost makes itself - a worthy worst graphic ever contender to pick up the mantle from Grizzlycorn.







I mean, there are so many of these incredibly horrible yet strangely awesome cat memes out there. I am sure someone with a minimum of Adobe skills can take a cue from these and make something horrendously bad if strangly awesome. Luckily I have no such skills. At all.

I hope ON3P has that first graphic on file still, because I may visit that idea in the future.
I would also love a kittycorn ski, cmon Iggy.
If it has cats, space, unicorns, and colors.. I'm not sure it could be bad.. it'd take a real one to fuck it up at that point.

[jdadour]

I fully approve of the ON3P thread turning into a cat thread. Carry on...

[HAB]

Haven't seen much chatter on the Wren 102, and as much as I don't need to be buying more skis right now, those do seem like they could fit really well into my (bloated, fat ski heavy) quiver. Who's got beta?

[aanev]

I'm thankful that kid-kapow has 179cm Wrens in his quiver. Otherwise, I guess, I would be flying regularly to Norway to offload the next pair from his quiver

[Adrgha]

Well, he is offloading some big boy Cease & Desists.

[NWFlow]

Ha! I saw those, complete with a nice bit of ON3P history of which i was previously unaware

[phatboy64]

My Midnight Jeffery 110s arrived today..super fast delivery, ordered last Wednesday night and received today . That midnight looks amazing in real life!

@ON3P crew thanks for all the help!!

[kid-kapow]

My Midnight Jeffery 110s arrived today.

Sweet!

Mera102, Jessie96 and Jessie102 are now live with three different top sheets, including this one that was made after a guy over at NS asked if ON3P could make a ski with such a graphic for his wife. According to Iggy a small run was then made after more people asked for it after said topsheet was posted on Insta. The two other options are teal and Mango Sunrise - so solid choices as well.



The stock topsheets for these three skis will be released in October.

One should think that making the wifey happy should be fairly straight forward with your pick of one of these or one of the various graphics offered through the custom builder though.

And yes, they are offered in both tour and 50/50 layup in the custom builder as well. I am really curious what the various lengths in the Mera102 come in at with 50/50 and tour layups.

A 167/172 BG110 is the drawing board right now. We'll see.

yes please

[AEvospace]

192 regular topsheet BGs are in stock

[kid-kapow]

I thought I should post some up close photos of some of ON3P's more recent graphics, you know - in the spirit of the ongoing custom sale and as graphic appreciation post. Sorry for lots of pics - limited myself to two photos pr graphic.

2017 C+D: one of my all time favorites. Kinda low key black and red from a distance, but lots of details up close.


2018 C+D: instant classic


2019 C+D: I also actually really like these as well, but I think the new matte, textured topsheets would make it look even better.


2021 C+D:


2019 BG:


2018 BG:


2018 Steeple 116:


2019 Wrenegade 114:


2018 Wrenegade 108:


2019 Wrenegade 96:


2020 Wrenegade 96 ti:


2018 Wrenegade 88: the right ski back half is probably about as good a back ski graphic as is possible imho


2018 Kartel 98: these pop like crazy on snow


2018 Kartel 108:


2021 woodsman108 tour:


White Eagle:


I have no idea if all of these are offered as an option or not, but regardless, they all look rediculously good. ON3P's graphics game is arguably the strongest in the business imho.

[sf]

2019 BG is my all time favourite.

Absolutely, no contest

[Brasso]

I'm grateful to own both those Steeples and the 2018 Wren 108s. Totally agreed on your choices.

I didn't know about the 2018 Wren 88 graphics, those might just be my favorite. Blue on ON3Ps is fantastic.

Sheesh, White Eagle looks really clean with white Shifts too. Actually, I think those are technically the black Armada variant.

Why do some skis have a very prominent white outline on the topsheet, while others don't?

[kid-kapow]

white outline = older two component glossy top sheet, white base/contrast layer and the graphic layer on top. That way, when you grind the topsheet layer at an angle you get the white outline (if my understanding is correct), but you would only see it from the side if the cut was 90 degrees, but that would cause lots of chipping.

no white outline = the now stock textured topsheet

i am not a huge fan of the glossy topsheets - I prefer the textured ones by faaaaaaar. Not only do they give more depth and vibrancy to the graphic, they also stay nicer for longer. They are more expensive than the glossy ones, so huuuuuge props to Iggy for making the switch.
