Poster: A snowHead
|
Just wanted to tell all you lovely people a wee story
I was cutting a pair of bd ascension skins this evening, I set of on the first skin with the bd cutter, it took me between 10-15 mins to get it right
Then I went to the garage, got genuine guide gear's cutter from a previous pair of skins and cut the 2nd bd skin in 90secs.
I then ran the g3 cutter down the first skin to tidy up the mess I had made of it with the bd cutter!
END OF STORY
Anyways props to g3!

Went to cut my skins with the supplied bd cutter ... Luke at camp de base whipped out his cutter which cuts revealing the edges... Both done no problem in three mins or so. No fussing/ realigning etc that the be would have given me...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Before I bought my first skins years ago, I watched the BD video of skin cutting, and thought are they serious!
Since then, three sets of G3 skins later, the cutter is perfection, even for the thicker high traction skins.

Had no problem with the BD cutter (in the STS skins pack) if it helps. Super sharp and easy to take off huge initial line as well as super thing shavings to tidy it up. Absolute pleasure to use (was worried after everyone was raving about G3 but it went fine). My first time cutting skins, too, though I'm quite crafty...

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Used both recently as a test, having only used BD in the past. G3 is soooooooo much better and much easier to cut the shape precisely.

I use the G3 cutter, but use some ski base cleaner to get any glue residue off it and dip it in water while cutting, it really makes it glide through.
