dollar bill skis

yaap made them over the summer, figured i'd put them up here finally.
Maple poplar core, 3 layers fiberglass, a full length carbon stringer above the core and a half length one below, 80 mm waist, etc.
epoxy dosent bond very well to dollars, i think the weave of the fabric is too tight for it to penetrate, hence the stripes.
definately screwed up a bunch of stuff making them, one of the cores shifted so half of one sidewall is epoxy not ptex, gnarly bubbles make the topsheet look strange.
very fun to ride, probably slightly stiffer than 4frnt stls
