Don't know if this has been posted yet, but Kingswood has put out a very nice layup video.:

I think this system allow not to worry about the camber...don't you think so ?littleKam wrote:There is a little white piece to elevate the ski as well (for pivoting? not sure). Pretty cool video.
nice video indeed.
They put lots of fiberglass layers, i'de be interested in knowing what kind, and also the wieght of their skis....
I think at 1.08 min you can see he puts 1 layer of glass fiber on the p-tex base, and then probably some carbon strip, but that's all before the core.
One the top side of the ski, he's putting some other cabon stripes and also some reinforcement under the bindlings: between each layer there's a layer of fiberglass.
Doesn't that increase the risk of delamination ?
Maybe the different reinforcer (carbon and alu ?) can't glue together ?

There was a decent thread on here about this video awhile back.
I had a pair of Kingswood protos awhile back. The binding reinforcement strip is titanal. I don't think they do this in all of their skis, as it was mentioned to me as an extra addition.
I think it says on their website that they put some VDS on both sides of the core, plus carbon.
It also says they use triaxial glass....4 layers of it seems like a ton though. Plus carbon....hmmm. I had the normal flexing pair and they were pretty soft. So I don't know what to say about it.
I can say the pair I had held up pretty well, besides some topsheet chipping.

I think that was an older video, this is a better one.
The glass sheets look very thin, as long as the total amount of glass is not higher than normal, I don't see how it is going to get any stiffer. Maby he does it to improve topsheet finish. Thinner, finer weave gives less print through the topsheet.

Interesting point the glass regarding the smoothness of the topsheet. It was extremely smooth on the pair I had.
