My 2010 Vintage Class race ski

Finally decided that I wanted to get into racing in 2010, and what better way to do it, then with the vintage class! I picked up a '91 square nose from a buddy of my for real cheap. It was ugly, and hurt! I tore down the motor, resealed everything, and put it back together. Our shop painter painted it gloss black, and I wet sanded and buffed it. Then I made a graphic kit to give it a unique look for 2010.

Before (With Paint):


After (Graphics):






I'm still missing a couple of sponsor logos, but they'll be on there once I can find some more space. Let me know what you think! I'm real proud of this one because I did the build all myself (except for the paint and some guidance from my dad). I'm really hoping that my freestyle ski will look as good.

Re: My 2010 Vintage Class race ski

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

One of the cool things that I really like about Vintage is that the ski can "be" so many different things, and still be really cool regardless of what it is.

It can have bone-stock graphics, and basically be a fairly stock ski, and really represent the era of what stock race skis were back then.

It can have bone-stock graphics, yet be a really strong limited, superstock or or even a mod ski - thus representing what the skis looked like in the era, while performing and sounding like skis of today (and surprising a few of your competitors, at least in the first moto of the day ).

It can have custom paint and graphics, whatever motor set-up, and just be a really cool yet timeless and fresh-looking machine.

Oh, and the best part is that the rules are the rules, year after year, with no need to change. So, you can build your Vintage race ski, build it ONCE, and just race the hell out of it. No worries about sticking a bunch of time, money, and effort into a ski, just to have to turn around and sell it cheap the next season because some new model came out that you now need to be competitive. Anyhow, good luck with the rest of your Vintage build, and don't forget to always respect your ski - since it's older than you ...

I make the graphics myself as a side job. I have a plotter and almost every color you'll want. Just send me a PM.
