Hydro-Turf diamond or groove?

[RoyalFlush@PCB]

if you take your time and install it right, itll get trashed less. besides, the longer i take, the more CLs chick is going to have to buy.:trink26:

Oh crap---this is starting to sound like it's getting expensive.

I have both on my ski.... Can't tell the difference, really. The groove lasts longer.

I ordered a pre cut kit from Wammer at Wamiltons that was groove. I called him thinking that I might like to exchange it for the diamond and he told me his personal preference was the groove b/c it tended to last longer.

fwiw, i use/prefer the groove also.. :dunno:

but you like the moocow....so, your .02 doesnt count here :lightning:

 

[jetskier79]

saki's .02 is really only worth about .01

Do you use any underpad?

 

[Waste Land]

Do you use any underpad?

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!! and on the tops of the footholds. They are a life/feet saver

Of course your turf hasn't worn, you don't use it when you're on the hood as much as you Jesse.

:haha::haha::haha:

Thats cool, I'm just excited I actually ride instead of rebuild engines 5 times a year....how many times have you hit the water this year darin? Once at lanier....

 

[YAMA CAT]

Underpadding is a very good thing! Your feet and knees will thank you! Especially if ride with a something low profile like Wrestling shoes.

 

[jetskier79]

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!! and on the tops of the footholds.

I don't actually use any on the tops of the footholds. *shrug*

 

[WaveDemon]

my ski has no underpadding. no problems with my feet so far.

 

[CG Racing]

only problem with doign them the way Crammit does is you get a funny looking spot at the rear where it turns down, you go from linear lines to a curves section where he stretch's it.......... very clean...........

or you can have a stupid looking spot with cuts everywhere when it turns down

I agree. I don't think there is anything bad looking about heating the turf and molding it to the rail. It looks like it is supposed to be that way (Factory look I guess you could call it). Personally I think the cuts look horrible and the more cuts you have the more of a chance you have for the turf to start coming up.

 

[SJet]

Are we talking about 1/4'' padding? I know some guys use that 1'' stuff, but I know my feet wouldn't fit in the footholds if i did!!

 

[jetskier79]

I thought you were smarter than that.

 

[WaveDemon]

I thought you were smarter than that.

I'm not smart at all. I'm not the one who put the turf on the ski but I don't want that to take away from my stoopid-ness.

 

[jetskier79]

seriously doofus, rip that sh*t up and put some padding in there before you hurt yourself.

Sicki's turf wasn't bothering him either, until he broke his heel.
