New skis on Kickstarter
Letting everyone know there are some new skis on kickstarter - I would love your feedback - Just as an intro, I have been working on this for the last 2 years, and some of the modeling technology I applied was invented in the manufacturing of a medical device - I decided to use it in the design process of my skis. They are a bamboo / poplar / paulowina core and carbon fiber setup. We modeled the entire setup and tweaked the design and cores until we got our current prototypes.
I have launched a Kickstarter campaign with tons of info on them http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...7/templar-skis Shipping is worldwide - so I figured I should let everyone know. I will try to answer any questions you guys may have I really want to be open about the whole project; so if you have any questions or comments they will be super welcomed, even the silly ones (I am a telemarker so I do get quite a few of those regardless). |

I would never buy any products with crosses, crescents, star of david or whatever. I don't care how good the skis are. |

wrote this crap: Good luck with your project. However, I won't ski anything named after Catholics, or that makes me look like a Catholic, and I trust telemarkers about as much as I trust politicians. Still afraid of getting caught as a child molester? There's no need to fear if Trunky is near. |

I didn't see a religious reference there. But anyway, don't forget the fish. I don't buy things are go to stores that use that as part of their logo or show it in any fashion. |

Have you ever read a history book that mentions the Knights Templar? Just the word Templar is a religious reference. |

No I didn't. I don't usually click on spam. Or most links here really, unless it's some picture of someone or otherwise interesting. This one wasn't close. |

It seems a little silly, I mean we drive VW's and they were associated with the nazis not too long ago. I must apologize as I never intended to associate the skis with any religious / political / or world views. |
