Remember to work from the front - per the instructions - after you have cut the lip (mold marks) off. VANS give out all sorts of instructions as to when to split it. I was about 3/4" above the role bar when I decided I had cut enough at the front. You need to take a lot more off than you think but just work slowly. It's a nasty job, and keep the dust out of you!

I'm just starting to trim the big bubble. How far do you go on the initial cut? I see the mold marks around the perimeter and assume these have to go. Is this a good guide line for the first slice?
