Ok guys here is the scoup on the whole MOD ski thing, I talked with Rene about 4 days ago, Rene and another guy makes the ski's, but the are selling the machine that makes them, so since they have made this choice no ski's have been made. Rene was hoping that slydog would purchase it but they havent gotten back to them. So in a nut shell there in a holding pattern on making the ski's, he did tell me that he had some blue and red ones left and it takes 2000.00 bucks in plastic to make 12 sets of ski's, he is thinking about doing one more batch of yellow and calling it good, he said that he had 8 potentials waiting to see if they would do that last batch, myself and another buddy would make 9 and 10.

So when it comes to color options you have Blue and Red (as of right now)

Mod ski's arent dead, just holding waiting for a buyer

hope this clears up some of your questions

Oh P.S.

Do not take offence if Rene dosent PM you back, DooTalk only allows for 75 PM's. Accourding to Rene that fills up in minutes.

So thats all

I would almost bet money that your loop is from an existing ski, like I know the carbides he uses come from a 87-89 yamaha exciter 3 lug pattern. So I would PM him (if its not full) and ask what stock ski's his handles come from.

Hope this helps!!

This is bad news.Very bad news. Maybe Rene ought to give us an email address of the person at Sly Dogs and all of us can flood him with our testimony. What do ya think?

So how much is it goign to cost to buy this machine to make the skis.

I Dare Ya Rene!

Here is the deal guys. Mike has started building docks and no longer is able to build the MODS skis. I was talking with the owners of Slydog last year, hoping to work with them and build an awesome powder ski. They sounded real interested and then did not get back to me.
Basically there is about 8 machines and jigs and about 20K of inventory, buyer would get everything. We want 30K, and I already have 15 guys wanting them right now. I alone sold 45 pair last season.

Ded Moroz , we have lots of hoops and we will get one to you free, you pay shipping.
I ride MODS because I truly believe they are the best in the powder, it would be sad if they became extinct.
All it needs is someone with a small shop and a aluminum welder.
If anyone is interested give me a call at [email protected] or 250-838-0202

Cheers, Rene.

This is sad, are you saying we can't get any parts anymore? I'm looking for a set of skins and wear bars or carbides if you are still shipping inventory.

Thanks,

Brian.
