Now it is official:
------------------
HOME-MADE SKI WORKSHOP
You come to Livigno for the "Skieda" (form the 1st to the 8th of April), you spend the day skiing, do some work in the lab, and in the evening it is patytime. After 3/4 days you go back home with your own self-made skis.
It will probably cost between 150 and 200euros, materials, gloves, protections and everything else included.
To get a taste of what it will look(s) like, you can check out http://forum.livignofreeheel.it/viewtopic.php?t=7 (in Italian at the moment).

Huf...
After a week I have found 5 minutes.
So far, we pressed already about 15 pairs, and in the afternoon we will do the last 4. Made super sidecut skis (12m radius), reverse sidecut, super fat skis, straight skis, reverse camber skis; used glass and carbon.
We had up to two pressing sessions per day: working in the morning, then hardcore skiing, few more hours in the late afternoon and then parting in the night...
Pictures coming soon...

Hi all!
I am a new member here, but have been reading the forum for some time. I am a snowboarder and will be making my boards this summer. I also read Grafsnowboards and between the two the amount of info is staggering.
Anyway I was looking at risers and lifters that skiers use on there ski's and was wondering how they are attached and how the bindings are attached to the lifters/risers. Are ski bindings screwed into the ski, or do they use inserts like snowboards? Since I will be making my own boards I have been thinking about making my own bindings. Some of the Olympic hardbooters were using a different type of binding that appears to have Risers/Lifters on the edges of the board instead of mounting to the center 4cm of the board.
I guess I need help understanding how the method of attachment allows the board to flex properly. Thanks in advance...

Some skis have binding inserts like snowboards. Most do not and the binding are screwed directly into the ski. With risers, the riser is screwed into the ski and then the binding is screwed into the riser.
where in ohio do you live? I lived in cleveland for a while.

Kelvin,
I live in Mayfield Hts., are you familiar? How long ago were you in Cleveland and what part did you live in? I ride hardboots and race, but I have also raced Boardercross. Winter pretty much sucked here. It rained all weekend at 3 out of 8 races this year. I really dislike sitting at the top of the hill in the rain waiting for starting order. Oh well, thats Cleveland!
