it may be gripier the other way, but it's too late and I don't fall out or slip , so no worries

That is great!!! Very good idea. I made mine from visqueen and still have a yellow welder + table saw. I had mist everywhere. Even made it inside of closed cabinets at the other end of the garage.

whats so funny about it? have you tried it? its not much different that grooved turf with the grooves going fwd/bck.
or are you just trying to be contrary?

Yes, actually, I have tried it. When I was building my ski I spent a month researching in which direction the turf yielded the best grip. I even built a machine that can measure Coefficient of friction out to 8 significant figures. I found the results indeterminate.
I also made sure all of the washers on my ski were facing the same direction. I don’t want to create a tear in the space-time continuum.

now, if you would have PS'd some turf onto that plank.....I would have swore out loud....
if you would have PS'd the picture with ollie's old sandal from his childhood pix, I'd probably have shat myself :arms: :arms: :arms:

mine faces the 'slippery' direction and i never fell out or slipped. It might feel more slippery with your hand, but there is no difference.

The gray doesn't fade as fast or look worn as quick in my opinion. Put it where it takes the most abuse.

maybe i should rephrase my original post in here.....
im not saying youll DEFINATELY slip if you run your diamonds fwd/bck.
but there IS a difference between the friction of l/r vs fwd/back. i tried it today on the water, after posting in this, now,ridiculous thread with wet asics.
fwd/bck = slippery
L/R = not as slippery
sorry guys. i know im right on this. any other opinion is wrong and therefore shrugged off as ignorance.:biggthumpup:

ive been riding mine like that for a while now and it grips just fine. maybe next time ill try it the other way
actually, i was just kidding. there really is no difference. i just came up with that out of nowhere.
