carbon definitely helps add some pop, we used several stringer in the tails of both of our skis be careful how much you use, a little bit goes a long way also, carbon has a negative coefficient of thermal expansion so it reacts differently than all your other layers to the changing temps, both durin...

First we cut the honecomb into thin sheets using a bansaw, just barely thicker than the thickest pat of the core where we were implementing it. Next we milled the core all the way through (actually I think we were getting too much vibration when milling so we went with the bansaw and chisel method) ...

We milled out a section of the core in both the tips and tails and replaced it with honeycomb. The honeycomb was then pre-bonded to the top of the core using a sheet of 16 ounce biaxial fiberglass. This was necessary so that the cells did not fill with resin during the wet lay process which would ha...

I think it depends on the type of riding you'll be doing. From what I've noticed, most skis have the sidecut centered a bit ahead of the center of the mounting point. I think this was used more when skiers performed fewer switch maneuvers. If you've ever arced a turn switch on a pair of skis mounted...

For the jib skis we made at the U of U, we used a similar method to what kam suggested, you don't want your core shifting and rendering the skis useless. We took small cylinders of ptex and superglued them to the aluminum of the mold near the tips, tails and underfoot portions of the skis after lini...

Oh by the way, the kirkwood comp was sick, you should have come down. It snowed about 4 feet on Monday and Tuesday, the comp started Thursday, and then got sunny and warm for the comp. Since the Cirque is North Facing it stays pretty nice though. I didn't compete due to a bum ankle, but I just hung ...

I like the idea of ending the sidecut before the end of the ski. K2's seem to be widest at the tip and tail, but one thing that is different on my prophets is that the sidecut ends about a hand down from the tip and tail. I feel like I can turn them faster in the trees and slide them sideways better...

I was just out at the Kirkwood freeskiing competition and had a chance to ski the spatulas. I am currently skiing the Line prophets (130mm underfoot). After taking runs on these skis and comparing the performance, I must say I like the Prophets better. I think the feel of a normal ski; being able to...

We are in the process of pressing up some test sections with a redesign of the edge profile underfoot, pics should be up in the upcoming weeks. As for the honeycomb, we plan to incorporate that into the tips and tails of the skis to reduce the swingweight, for the wet lay process we were thinking of...

vds rubber
Where do you guys get your rubber that goes on the edges for dampening? Also do you get your glass and other composites through Vectorply?
thanks
