Long board day 2022.

[Greydon Clark]

Norseman made an executive decision. New date. Stay tuned for special guests.

Long Board Day is Saturday April 16th @ lot 4.

That is also the first day of a new flavor of BBI, the Baker Bourbon Invitational.

While the focus is sampling myriad proper oak-barreled Kentuckian brown corn mashes, of course we will welcome all cousins from Tennessee, Ireland, Japan, and Canada.

So bring up the longboards and your favorite whiskey n fixins and let's party.

Bonus points for Easter Sunday the 17th.

Still here offering my spare pairs to anyone interested. I have at least 4 that need to get out of my basement. Free. Or booze. Or hookers and blow. Or gas. ;-)

and.... Fuck! I'm booked that weekend elsewhere.

This party has been happening for close to 20 years. The far out old dudes have never had a problem with the straight and narrow.

oh, i know...
it just occurred to me the reservoir of folks who skied skinny skis is drying up
the young'uns who grew up with shaped skis are in for a treat when they try out some loaners

[Greydon Clark]

Fellow Ikon Pass holders, make your reservations for Saturday and pray for corn.

[SumJongGuy]

FWIW, the ACL and MSL injury rate went way up with the proliferation of shaped skis... And, that's part of the reason that GS went back to 35 meter skis from 21 meter skis a few years ago..

[oftpiste]

These are all available for free or hookers and blow. All in decent shape or better. Keeping my fave pair. All are 210, maybe a little longer. There's also a pair of seriously vintage Rossi Stratos not pictured.

Need them out of the basement. The two outside pairs have demo clamps, others I'm not sure about BSL but you know how to mount your shit, right?

Come and get 'em.

[Greydon Clark]

Oft, I'll text you about the Hexcel's. Made in the USA.

[SumJongGuy]

Did you use the marine epoxy and set those Hexcels upside down to dry when you mounted those 900s on them?

[2FUNKY]

Had a pair of those Rossi 4G’s. Fun ski.

I'd love for you to have them Greydon!

I think you're referring to the fact that their honeycomb construction required special mounting procedures.....? I don't know if I did exactly that, but if memory serves I did do something. No memory of what, but I recall knowing they needed some extra attention, and giving it to them. Likely straight epoxy. They've been skied on with no issues. I think Iridewithdogs had 'em for a while.

You're actually supposed to insert an L shaped tool(bent bicycle spoke) into each hole and spin it around to break the honeycomb cells around the holes, creating a pocket under the topsheet. Then inject epoxy, mount and cure upside down

And also still in the composites business

[Buster Highmen]

Are the Stratos the maroon ones?
If so, I'll take them!

Yah they are, someone pinged me about them earlier. If they bail they're all yours. They're a hoot. Base to base the camber makes about a 6 inch gap between them, and they're mounted with very OG explodomats.

ooooo, explodomats and the cachet rises.

24 hours until the Ikonic Pass takeover of lot 4. Eat a small dinner so you fit in your stretch pants.

Made it for the morning and loading early. See you in line. Blue coat orange helmet and pack.

A lovely feast to honor Alpental's emeritus mayor. Maybe the 210s touch snow. Who knows.

In the meantime, my legs are feeling the weekend's High-Ts and Nash laps. Great to see everyone.

[shroom]

i’m still thinking about those bacon-wrapped poppers
