Kingnothing is back!!!

[kingnothing3]

so some of you know, I didint have a ski last year because I had to part it out the winter before. But now im back and this ski isnt even in the same catagory as my last.

To strat everything, Dan from Highroller customs built the top deck for me. He also epoxied it to a squarenose bottom, and cut 2inches off the back so that he could glass it from inside. Also I decided to go with the monster xft scupper and footholds.

So I drove through Canada to pick it up from him in NY.

and whats a trip through Canada without stopping at niagra....

Damn! youre still waiting? Will you have it for the March freeride??? :fingersx:

(sorry for the threadjack) - interesting build!:biggthumpup:

 

[onlyFX-1]

It would have been done but I changed my mind on the motor I was going to run. I hope I have it by the march freeride. If not i'll be sporting the ol fx-1:veryhappy:

yes.

I really want to try the fixed steering. I have a hood and pole to throw on it if I dont like it.

best thing about this ski IMO is the solid nose! no more nose peices! love it! Im gonna go work on it somemore and maybe ill get a chance to post pics. Ill have some more parts tomarrow.

 

[WaveDemon]

fixed steering is where its at!

 

[kingnothing3]

alright, worked on the ski a little at night, but the furnace in the barn is on the fritz so i am waiting till it warms up to work on it more.

I got the ribs ground down last night.
also cut up my xft footholds so that I could put the holds a little farther forward to make up for the shortend hull. here is a before and after pic.

also cut some holes for the holds and opened a bunch of boxes full of parts.


sergio really knows his stuff. tearing the turf off those holds wasnt easy!

Glad your back in man! can't wait to see the finished product!!
