Demong Wins World Cup Race
American Billy Demong won a Nordic Combined World Cup race on Saturday.  This is the second victory of his career.  Billy finished in the Silver medal position in last years World Championships.  He is currently ranked 4th in the overall World Cup standings.  Billy is just a friend and I am also a fan.  He has no current connection with Toko.
Toko has another Great Weekend of Racing

Lukas Bauer ThermobeltTeichmann Thermo Belt
Axel Teichmann won Saturday's 15k Classic World Cup race in Davos, Switzerland which enabled him to take the overall World Cup points lead away from Czech Lukas Bauer (2nd overall).  The Czechs had a tremendous day on Sunday though winning the relay.

This weekends SuperTour races in Bozeman, MT went off thanks some late snow and a lot of shoveling (thanks volunteers!).  The men's 15k race was won by CXC's Garrott Kuzzy who was followed by Rossignol's Zack Simons, and CXC's Brian Gregg (all using Toko wax and gloves).  The CXC team wears Toko apparel as well.

Tech Tip
Copper Brush
Horsehair Brush
Polishing Brush
A Copper Brush should be used before waxing (to clean ski base and open it for waxing) and after scraping to expose the bulk of the base structure.

A Horsehair Brush should be used when waxing with a cold hard wax such as Blue.  It should follow brushing with the Copper Brush.

The Nylon Polishing Brush should be used when waxing with the medium and soft waxes such as Red and Yellow.  It is a finishing brush that should follow brushing with the Copper Brush.  This is also the best brush for finishing fluorocarbons.

The Nylon general purpose brush is a great brush if you only have one brush.
 
Product Highlight

Ski Vise Nordic 2
The Ski Vise Nordic is a three part travel vise that works amazing well.  The pin in the middle fixes the ski when the binding is clipped on to it.  It has three height settings which enables long skis and short skis to work well.  The end supports are much longer than other products on the market in this category yielding far better support.  This vise offers superb stability and support and is works really well trailside when mounted to a work bench.  MSRP is $100.  Click on the photo to see a much larger image.
