I keep having thoughts of racing vintage class myself. And by vintage I mean "vets" haha. I built a nice ski for the bouys a while back. I havent ridden it but once tho. The commitment involved with actually racing is so daunting. I cant seem to just go race "for fun".

Either did I. I can't recall the last time I posted on a forum or even lurked around. This website came up on a search I was googling and I got to looking around and stumbled upon this thread. Im still in regular contact with a few of my close friends from racing. I regretfully dont keep in...

Thx for the kind words 'Crockett. I remember the foosball & ping pong well. Good times. Those evenings during World Finals months are some of the best memories of my life. Shoot me your number if you get this message, it's been too long, I'd love to chat & catch up. As for the rest of this...

Yo Crockett, u still around?

while its nice they finally buckled under the pressure.... lets not forget, we were promised when they took over the site, that they wouldnt change things, and they did in a big way. now weve been promised that things will go back to normal or even less moderation? i too am skeptical.

been trying to call him for a while now. his phone is turned off.

I cant talk about the plate-how it works and why. Im already in the dog house due to the fact that people know it exists. All I can do is lobby with the bean counters at R&D to get them to release it to everyone. Tooling cost a lot of money, they got to see the difference and the difference has...

Ive taken a good look at this ski, and everything seems to be off the shelf stuff. its more the combination of parts than anything. I think current stock skis and limiteds handle great. But todays Open class skis are going damn near 15mph faster than they were built for. I think about all the...

It was hands down the best performing ski ive ever ridden. The power delivery was so smooth and soft, that I felt like i was on a stock ski. it was unreal. and the handling was even better. it wasnt just the sponsons, it was the whole package. no joke. Chapin built this ski in less than...

im busy at the shop right now, i'll write a full report later.

1. Hydrospace is not homologated (legal) here in the states 2. Thanx to HSR, there is no aftermarket companies that make parts, therefore it is impossible to find aftermarket support for a privateer shop racing effort. With the SX-R, companies are calling us, looking to help out with...

how many veins? set back?

well, if you guys need a moderator for the racing section, i'll take the job.

what kinda pump does malone or other freestylers put in a ski like that?

yeah, crazy that SBT has never tried sponsoring or getting involved in racing as of late. i always thought a company like theres could really benefit from building spec motors for a iroc class of racing. oh well. i got bill chapin building mine, i couldnt ask for anyone better. give the...
