Cutting Outer Edge off ski

[NapaMatt]

Anyone doing this???

Sitting on snowmobile.. take the left ski off and cut the left outer edge from the spindle bolt to the middle and rear of the ski.. so just the left side and on the right ski it would be just the right outer of the ski.. You would have a left ski and a right ski..


Bret R. does it and told us that were watching from the Snow Show.. His Secret!!


This should help huge in just getting your sled over on one side... and a plus for side hilling !!

Hmm Food for thought!!...

Already took a old C&A Ski and cut it .. and yes Pretty sure it will help!

I found that very interesting that he does that as well. I had to come to this section to comment on it (love the Treadmill). LOL Something I'm thinking about doing...anything that makes sidehilling more easy is something I'm interested in.

Do you have pics of the ski you cut, and if not, could you take some and post them please?

 

[NapaMatt]

yes.. i will be posting pics... of the ski

Ha! Ha! Bret R.'s secret is that he is Brett R.! This cut has been around for awhile, Carls Cycle sells powder pros with that cut-they show pictures of it also. I have done that to one of my sleds, personally I didn't notice the sled pulling over any 'easier', the iq/pro chassis and m sleds pull over easy as it is, I did notice slightly easier countersteering at the bars though. It's a harmless modification if you want to try it out I would say go for it!

I did the cut to my PP's.
I haven't really had the snow to test it yet, but the logic behind it seems sound.

WOW.....I've never seen a cut that extreme before. I had the Carls cut on a set of powder pro's but personally didn't see a huge difference with my IQ. If you need to cut your ski that much try standing up and leaning the sled over when you ride, works like a charm lol......jk!!!

Again.. This is what some us were told to do!

On a Snowest Live..

From Bret Rasmussen... The secret!

Suppose to make the front FLOAT more..

I'll try it.. I'll report back when we have snow

Have seen no real benefit to this on most skis tried it on a set of PP's and ended up switching to SlyDogs uncut ??!!
