Hahaha! We laughed like little girls putting that on your ski. "Hey Harrison, do a tail stand!" "A what? Why?" "Just do it, we want to see it!" Hehe.... Just spent yesterday wrenching on my ski - how do starter solenoids know when you are heading to a ride? Luckily I had a spare one sitting...

It's been too long....

P9 booked bitches!! Thursday to Sunday. Can't wait to catch up with some old friends and meet some new ones - it's been too long!

I have to pick a site that we can get our trailer into - 35' gooseneck that's not particularly easy to manoeuvre (yes, proper spelling!). Will give them a call tomorrow to see what will work.

Awesome! Going to book a campsite in the morning.

Damn. I loved that kid. Even if he did put too much adhesive on when we turfed his ski. RIP my friend.

Tricky was helping me get my carbs dialed in. Don't know how many times I pulled the carbs off to put bigger and bigger jets in till I realized I had pinched the head o-ring. No amount of jetting can make up for an air leak that big!

First things first: if you plan to get upside down you'll need some footholds. I'd also recommend chopping a few inches off your stock pole and getting a lowered bracket - those two mods will do wonders for you barrel roll. A shortened turnplate also helps a bunch.

Hey Jimmy. No, been a difficult year for me for riding - haven't been out once! We put a pool in at the end of last year and I spent every waking moment this spring and early summer doing the landscaping (wall, deck, paving, fencing etc.) I've been traveling a bunch too, so that's been a more...

Most people actually have them way back, and many footholds don't give you a choice since they are designed to tuck around the rear of the gunwales. Blowsion Kickers are definitely like that, but I'm not sure about the Diggers. It's a different story in the surf, but from your avatar it looks...

I'll be there Saturday night, working on Sunday, and working on Suzi too!

With the cloth you are using you should be able to skin your knuckles on it! If you use a lot of excess resin then it will be smooth and glassy, because all you are feeling is resin. If you didn't wet the cloth properly then it will feel soft like it did before you layed it up. If you got it...

BTW Icecoled - looks like you did a really nice job there.

No worries: discussion is good. But I absolutely gurantee that epoxy will cure slower if you keep it cooler. And spreading it thin increases the surface area to volume ratio which helps it to stay cooler. Edit: as long as the outside air is cooler that the temperature of the resin as it starts...

Wow - I'm glad I read this thread. Haven't used TAT in ages since it wasn't showing new posts. I guess things have improved a LOT! Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using Tapatalk

Here's a tip: for more working time with your resin pour it out of your mixing container onto a flat sheet like a baking sheet or something similar. That helps keep it cool and slows down the curing dramatically. Epoxy cures fast in a container because it gets warm as it cures, which makes it...

You know I'll be there!

One more suggestion: search on "pole limiting strap" which is a good way to reduce pole stress.

Yes, there's a lot you can do. Here are some suggested searches that will turn up some useful information: Look up "reinforcing" to see how people add some layers of fiberglass inside the hull and particularly along the bondline to help improve strength. Look up "Kenny Keepers" as a great...

Exactly. Why consciously create situations that could cause major problems when you can so easily avoid them? There are enough dodgy situations you can't avoid to go about creating them for yourself....
