test was ok, but its not a ski for icy slopes

hi, it took me 11 months to build my own ski. i wrote a diary on my computer and took a lot of pictures with my mobile. the ski is done, on wednesday my 3 week holiday testride will start. i tried to test them indoor yesterday but the arena was to full, maybe tomorrow i got a chance for the first te...

H= tail width
W= waist width
L = overall length
Q= angle during ride

side cut : sc = (S+H-2W)/4

radius : r = (L²cosQ)/(2(S+H-2W)) = (L² cos Q)/(8*sc)

i took as angle 30°, 45° and 60°

don't get to close to a belt sander with your fingers!
pretty happy that i still have 10 of them!

yes

but i got 15m² on ebay for 31€ and 9€ shipping, 0.4m*38m (4 pairs of ski 10€ per pair)

don't worry, i was riding elan gsx fusion this winter. they had a good grip but many times they started to shake me.
first time it snows in Gelsenkirchen this winter! But we have no hills

oh, in a shop in germany they want 15€ per meter nearly $20
mhm, i guess shipping to europe is more than 5.99 ?

maybe a core building video would help me a bit, there a points i've got to get behind.

seems work of just a few minutes in the video
