Hi, I used the carbon full width, the flax as well. As wood I used ash. Regarding dampness: When I test the dampening in my workshop and compare it to my Völkl GS race ski with 2x titanal, the völkl is waaay damper and stops swinging earlier. On Snow however, I didn't feel a difference but prefer ...

2/3rd of the core are poplar, 1/3rd ash. Lets see how it keeps up. The torsional stiffness of the 300g/m² carbon triax is definitely enough, other skis I built have a bit too much imo (built with 450g/m² triax or 300g/m² biax), The flax really dampens, didn't believe it but these skis definitely ...

I am pretty sure the alignment itself can't be the reason, used this method: http://www.skibuilders.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5218 And I think vacuum can pull sideways: the peel ply is very static, and I just laid it down over both skis. If the vacuum foil gets sucked down it might cause the peel p...

Hi satch, my plan for future builds is: Take the normal 10mm thick sidewall material, cut it in half with the bandsaw. That way I will have sidewall material a bit thicker than 4mm. I think Akiwi might be right that the shift in the middle section can be created by the vacuum pulling towards the mid...

GS Race Ski
Lets see if it performs as it should! 185cm long, 20,5m radius, full camber, hollow tip, 1500g per ski, 70mm underfoot. 450g/m² carbon triax + 120g/m² flax uni to dampen. lets hope it damps as well as everyone says. Self-routed ski ends made from ABS. http://www.spame.de/skibau/rennski02.jpg http:...

Hi, some photos always help :) The finished ski: on one the protection film is already removed, colors are nice and bright. On the other one you can see the topsheet shift in the middle... looks a bit strange. http://www.spame.de/skibau/matterhorn09.JPG Here you can see how thin the rest of the side...
