I don't get it. if i'm understanding this right i would guess too much or too little weighting (skier error). I don't understand why a turned up tail would have anything to do with it. It is easy to "wash" out the end of a turn if your weight is not in the perfect place on some of these sk...

a router? am i missing something? or are you talking about trying to take off enough extra material so that you can run your router? I would try a dremel of some sort possibly?!?!?! not very precise, but if your going to use a router it probably wouldn't matter much as long as you don't eat up your ...

Re: Tube bender mod

One word of caution, if you are going to take the approach I described make sure the tubing bender you buy has enough material to actually cut the track into. I recently discovered that if you try to do this with a cheap Harbor Freight tubing bender it will cut right through it and be useless. Try ...

|||HIJACK|||

I just finished building my first mold with 16mm of camber (just like OP) hoping for around 8-10mm of "settled camber"

what has been everyone's experiences? did most skis lose camber? or do most hold it well?

4 links down on this forum you'll see a step by step that will help you. you're using the wrong file types. Once you can get it into the one you need its easy. Read all about it on the post that says "printing in autocad" it will likely apply to your situation.

I've run into some difficulty trying to print my template using my household printer. I can't seem to expand the "printable area" to anywhere near the size that i need. In the tutorials it mentions "multi-page printing" and obviously thats what i'm attempting to do. I'm a complet...

...they are so light that deflection is abundant and you feel every little crystal (despite carbon's terrific dampening abilities)... Well, deflection does not depend on weight, but on stiffeness. I skied them (two runs), wind-blown, piste, hard and soft snow, and I liked them a lot. By the way, th...

k2's torsion box construction are torsional noodles compared to goode's design. (my personal experience) thats why you need metal in k2's to carve (like the crossfire/recon rather than the apache stryker) goodes are probably the most torsionally rigid ski i've ever skied (race skis included) but as ...
