Custom/Hybrid A Weekend of Wrenching

[truerider411]

So this weekend we had guys come from Estevan (7hrs away) Taber (5 1/2hrs away) and Edmonton (2hrs away) just to do some wrenching for our short summer season. The ice should be off our lakes in the next month or 2 so all skis need to be ready! We defoamed, turfed, and put footholds in a square nose. We put a jetworks big bore top end kit in a round nose. Turfed an octane. Did some finishing touches on a powerfactor install on the xfr and then Did some serious comparing between the backie-chan, rok-r, kdx, and xfr. Thanks for the great weekend guys. Here are some pics:

More Pictures and comparison threads to come!....... p.s. we took the scale and got lots of weights

Lookin good. Were the fronts of skis lined up for the length pics?

 

[truerider411]

Thanks chris all your parts really came in handy to say the least! They where very closely lined up but not perfect. We're Gunna post a comparison thread right away. The Kdx is longest then rickter the backie chan then rokr. This is measuring from bottom deck not overall length.
