Thank
you for your interest in DSS skeleton sleds and runners. After another
extremely busy year leading up to the 2010 Olympics, I have changed plans
for the future. Orders are not being accepted for 2010 except for
runners orders from the limited number of customers who switched to DSS
sleds for the 2009 / 10 season. I will return to full-time work in
2011 but I will only be building runners. This will allow me enough
time to build runners for all athletes, not just those using DSS sleds.
I have also reduced the price of the runners.
The FIBT has released an updated version of their runner steel, keeping the original chemical composition but increasing the strength and hardness. As of 2011, all DSS runners will be made from this stronger steel, unless the customer specifically requests the original FIBT steel. I do still have a limited amount of this original steel in inventory - of course, it is always possible that some sliders might think that the older steel is faster for them.
Following is the order list for DSS 2011 runners. Runners are
sold on a first come, first served basis according to the date on which
the deposit payment is received. The initial batch will be completed
by Sept. 10. If there are too many orders to complete all work by
Sept. 10, another small batch will be completed by Dec. 15, allowing those
customers to get their runners before the second half of the season.
Customers using any type of sled are now accepted for runner orders.
Also, there is no longer a limit on the number of pairs of runners that
can be ordered. If you require any custom dimensions on the runners
to fit them correctly to your sled (for example, runner block width, runner
post length, etc.), you MUST inform me prior to the start of runner construction.

SMALL PRINT DEPARTMENT:
All runner orders must be confirmed by a 25% deposit.
The balance is to be paid upon completion and before delivery. Taxes
and customs duties are charged according to the regulations of the recipient
country's government, and are the responsibility of the customer.
If you're seeing me in person, then payments may be made in cash in Canadian
or US dollars. 5% GST is added to all orders shipped to or picked
up within Canada. Canadian and American customers may pay by cheque
or money order in Canadian or US dollars. Canadian customers with
online banking access may pay by Interac e-mail money transfer. All
customers may pay in Canadian dollars by PayPal - please contact me to
request a PayPal invoice. Foreign customers may transfer funds electronically
through their bank. Postal money orders may also be used, although
they're a bit slow (if you're an American, make sure you get a pink international
postal money order, not the green type which can only be cashed in the
U.S.). Please make all payments payable to Davenport Skeleton Sleds.
Shipping is extra - check the UPS
Canada web site for exact shipping costs.
The community of Pie Town, NM was named for the excellent pies baked by
an old miner who founded the town in the 1920s. The town's website
lists pie baking and pie eating among the local activities. I am
disappointed in my lack of general knowledge - I never knew there was a
town dedicated to pies.
