We still run our old Blaw knox ski's. Even with our Cat pavers.. Sometimes we run 50 ft of ski to get a better ride.

We just received our new paver Vogele Vision 5203-? and it came with the Big Ski and it works awesome so far. I rode a section of road paved with a IR3200 w/WedgeLock screed and 40 foot drag ski and the next lane over we used the new Vogele w/ wedgelock and the 40 foot big ski and there is no comparison. Time to take everything that drags on the ground to the scrapyard.

We have 6 pavers and cant afford to buy all new ski's. But those ski shoes are getting expensive at 100 bucks a pop. But we also run 2 50ft skis a lot too. One on each side and run grade both sides. The old Blaw Knox respond better on grade than it does on slope.
