Those look pretty sick!! I can't quite tell from the pics, but are the edges a full wrap?
Seriously, this can’t turn into yet another ON3P thread....

In the photo on their website on the 'about' page. the one that shows all the cores sitting on the shelf, you can see base material on top with edges applied that only come down to the length of the sidewall and then stop.
Is that how all of the skis are made?thank you for calling

Thanks for the kind words.
We do bend our own edges and yes it is a pain with our square tips but that is not why we changed our edge style. The way that edges come from the factory and are layed up in a ski they act like a wedge if something hits them. So if you have a full wrap edge and the tip of your ski hits a tree, box, or rail the edge pushes in on the ski and makes small cracks which leads to water getting into the ski which then leads to delams. I know that a full wrap looks nice and pretty, but its just not as strong.
There are also other issues that come up do to full wrap edges on park skis specifically. Take a look at K2, its why they need rivets because their tips delam due to the full wrap. If you look at an Armada ski they solve this problem by making a 4 piece edge. It allows the tip to expand and contract when the tip gets slapped down after a huge air. K2's cant expand and contract as well thus resulting in a delam.
Shear forces add up when you slap your skis down against hard surfaces.

What ski was mr. orange riding at Kirkwood this spring? They looked about 110 under foot and versatile in the park.

Nope dude..... The edges only act as a wedge if you are not properly installing them on the ski... You have to take into account the height of the edge flange when you are preparing our laminate scheme. I.E. that mm or so needs some place to go.... preferably you take it out of the core. Take a thicker hardbound book. I.E, a physics book and slam it down on a hard surface, pay attention to how the top covers moves relative to the bottom. The edges really dont have anything to do about it. The problem lies in the amount of sheer force that your resin system can handle.
This is compounded by the inconsistnacys of your wet out when pressing.Last edited by Gunder; 06-30-2007 at 11:34 AM.
