max Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I'm not Hanible Lector. I'm looking for one (or two) skins to make kickers with. Also, If you're looking to do the same, get in touch with me and we could split the cost of some cheapies. I thought I saw some older BD's at REI for around $80. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurthicks Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 dave, i've got a pair of ascensions (the purple ones) that i'd let go for $20. they need to be reglued. they were for 165cm skis (102-79-98 or something). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterC Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Dave, I could give you enough ascension glue for you to reglue kurthicks skins. Also FYI, I've tried to make my own kicker skins from the 1' long scraps left over from my last skins folowing the template of http://www.agavegroup.com/?page_id=62 Apparently the tin can I used was too flimsy because it immediately bent down and acted more like a brake than a wedge... so keep in mind that if you're following this template you NEED the strongest can you can find (which is difficult since most cans have funky grooves in them). Let's talk more about this in person. -Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I have a pair of old skinny ski skins I would part with for $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fear_and_greed Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I use the full width left over scraps from my Glidelites. No metal or plastic on the front. They have never been stripped off from the pressure of gliding and they work excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 (edited) Kurthicks: You're on, assuming those aren't the plastic snakeskin kind. Furry, right? Anyways, after this message I'll check your profile and call if it's got a number, otherwise call me: 360.715.1198, or cell 303.818.8568 Bug: sorry, your price is nice but kurthicks seems to be local. PeterC: You're obviuosly a fool who I'd never trust my skiing option to. Somebody aright above me: Thanks for the info, the can thing peter talked about looked like a pain in the butt, and I'm not making extremo skins. They'll probably be most used on steep section of road... dave Edited December 16, 2007 by max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
