^I would love to see that become a standard topsheet option.

ISBD,
I would reach out to Keith... I cannot remember the mags name (big Praxis supporter and contributor) but he was a big Big Lebowski fan and had Keith do a custom top sheet that had Lebowski all over it... Absolutely bad ass skis...

I have always had great luck in emailing him - plus you could attach the top sheet you are looking to do...
And I found it - Jim S custom top sheets...:

Quick thread drift . . . let me ask you about your poles as I think all touring poles need more grip length and I have been eyeing some like those, but my concern is that there's no lip on the ends for flipping heel risers (Lynx tele bindings, so they're just wires) or the like -- so, is there a lip? The BD poles I currently use have the perfect lip on the end of the grip to slid under my risers and flip them up, mid-stride if I'm moving to keep pace or stay warm, etc. But the grips are way too short for traversing or bootpacking up steeps . . .
Thanks!

i use the same douchermagoo sticks, and i've used them now for two years. i love 'em. its the best touring stick i've ever used. durable, endlessly adjustable grips, great swing feel.
you can flip risers with the small notch that is intended for leashes (who uses leashes??). it's not the best "pole thumb" i've ever used, but it gets the job done.

UL Protests ordered. Working with Keith on Woody Guthrie Pro Model graphics on a maple veneer. Will mount with ATK Trofeo Plus.

I mocked them up as best I could. Placing the heels behind the existing heels on my GPOs and deploying the brakes, I'd estimate you could get do the low 120s (123-124?) without bending or grinding off some of the plastic on the inside of the brakes.
It's tough to be precise about this without mounting them.

Nothing yet. I sent Keith some image files for the text and the guitar silhouette. I also sent him some images of waveforms from the opening lines of Sharon Jones' cover of "This Land is Your Land" that I may put on the tails if it looks good in a mock up. The waveforms are about 40cm long, but won't cover too much of the wood.
Keith is going to put the graphics together and send it my way before pressing the skis, but that won't be for over a month. I'll attach the images to this post. The waveforms have a transparent background so they may not display properly on the TGR blue background. Just click them.
If anyone wants to use this graphic or contribute to its improvement that's fine by me. The guitar image could be better for sure. I'm looking for something. Apparently Woody mostly played on a predecessor to the Gibson J-45, so I may try to create something based around that.

Order is in for the second iteration of the compound camber Quixote. Longer ski, heavier core, more tip rocker, shorter more aggressive camber sections, and maple veneer beneath the "watershed" graphic. Keith is the man and I'm stoked to see how the ski turns out.

I just realized Praxis nixed the base graphics option? Very minor but that was a nice touch.

I didn't even notice since I'm a "basic black" guy. It makes base repairs so much easier.
One thing I could never stand is ON3P's clear over green. With my eyes, I had a tough time seeing the gouges. I suppose that only matters if you patch your skis, however ;-)
