For consistency, couldn't one just leave the fin block attached and hang the ski from a hole in the fin? Then, it is truly like a wind chime. LOL. But seriously, that would be a less invasive, repeatable method to hold skis for a "strike" frequency measurement. However, then DFT might have an impact. 😝

The video links in the original post seem to no longer be valid. Here is a link to the playlist for all three days' videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4UaxtXYGLc&list=PLEKKfDsJOLQJgfe5GwxMXfLHuJOcx4OUP

Oh, snap! I missed that! It likely was Griffin!!!

I am pretty sure the pictures are gone thanks to the site upgrade, but there was a prior thread with great pictures of several methods. Here's mine: I will try to describe it without pictures... I use a very long bolt that is thread matched to the insert. I also use 2 nuts that fit on that bolt. I thread both nuts onto the long bolt higher up it than the insert depth. I then put a very small amount of Vaseline on the lower threads of the bolt as a release agent. Next, I thread the insert on to the bolt until the bolt end is flush with the bottom of the insert. Now, I take the closest nut and run it down until it makes contact with the top of the insert. Next, I run the 2nd nut down until it makes contact with the first nut. Using two wrenches or small plyers, I tighten the 2nd nut against the first. This locks the depth of the bolt. I prepare the ski hole with a light coat of epoxy. I prepare the end of the bolt with a touch of Vaseline as a release agent. Now, I can use the long bolt to screw the insert into the ski hole until it is flush with the top of the ski. I leave the whole assembly in tact while the epoxy cures fully. Once cured, I release the 2nd (top) nut using plyers and back the long bolt out of the insert. It has always worked for me.

We should have hired Griffin Stange to play it live. https://www.facebook.com/ryan.gonzales.790256/posts/pfbid02fzYuvz6j55DJqo7JsV8hRbDminD1tFZdeyAehkdfDH9wM3dwwyvwiW8t8yKH1NDsl Maybe capture this video and cook it into the Day 2 video (take 3).

Two teams dominated men's D1 jump.

Play at .5x speed and he sounds drunk.

I was going to mention that to Kelvin, but he looked pretty tired after 2 days of camera switching. I know he has dealt with it in the past. I think he just mutes the offending audio and re-uploads the video. It might not happen for a day or two. He has to collaborate with other vendors (DJ for audio) on this webcast and they don't always ensure the site's music is excluded from the audio feed sent for the webcast.
