THIS IS A TRUE STORY... Back in the 60’s when dare devil Evil Knievel was every man, women and child’s American hero jumping 50 cars at a time on prime time TV, one inspired kid set his mind on becoming the real thing. His name was Norman Epperson.

As a teenager Norm and his friends were unknowingly part of a revolution using traditional banana seat street bikes to emulate motocross racers. Their crew would build dirt jumps in vacant lots and eventually with the help of parents, created full size BMX dirt tracks leading to the birth of the BMX racing scene in Southern California.

The photo I used on the base of this ski was taken by Mel Stoutsenberg, that one kid in every crew with the camera. One day a friend mentioned to Mel there’s a kid named Norm who wants someone to shoot him jumping cars so he could get discovered by Hollywood. Mel rolled up with his camera and snapped Norm’s first jump ever over the cars that you see here on this ski’s base. He landed first try!

Norm sent the photo to Hollywood and within the year was getting paid to do real stunts. Fast forward to today, Norm orchestrates some of the most epic car chase scenes you see in Hollywood's biggest movies!

I’m honored to have had a chance to talk with and work these pioneers of BMX’s earliest roots. In their honor, I’m building only 250 pair of this new Limited Edition graphic and hand signing and numbering each ski.

Also available is 35 of the original photograph hand signed and numbered by photographer Mel Stoutsenberger, as well as a collection of tee shirts, jacket, glassware, a patch, sticker and more all inspired by their story.

The Masterblaster V1

125 – 96 – 114

Powerful, ultra responsive precision on firm snow that's equally fun & playful beyond the groomers

“The Masterblaster” is quick and precise like you’d expect from a 96mm waisted all-mountain ski, yet has a unique split personality that’s also incredibly fun and playful when you take it into fresh snow. I designed the tip with a subtle amount of rocker to help you float with ease in the pow and tight trees, yet maintain 100% edge engagement on firm snow. When you roll it over, the entire edge length is in contact with the snow, including the tip rocker to maximize grip - you get a predictable, solid, smooth and stable feel, instilling incredible confidence at high speeds. Its “Light Metal” Titanal laminate & maple wood core construction provides race-like power and precision, even on ice. From the steeps to the trees, bumps, and untracked corduroy, you’ll appreciate this ski’s one-of-a-kind versatility, laying down high-speed, hip dragging carves on the way to the lift like you’re racing toward an Olympic gold medal.

Extra Thick Edge

The thickest, most durable edge in the industry

We use the thickest hardened steel edges in the industry 2.2mm x 2.5mm. More metal = more durable.

You’ll also be able to re-tune many more times or file them round to slide rails longer.
