There are a few different methods for applying Toko JetStream, here is an overview. Rotocorking JetStream Ironing JetStream Additionally there are many who prefer to hand cork JetStream. If I am going to hand cork JetStream, it would be in new falling snow and over a rotocork job.

This weekend's gap in the World Cup schedule is just big enough to admit the Marcialonga, the 70km marathon in northern Italy. Second only to the Vasaloppet in prestige, the Marcialonga has - like that even longer race - this year attracted quite a crowd of racers, headed by none other than Petter Northug himself. That Northug is taking the weekend "off" to ski 70,000 meters of track in Italy
