Record 6 1986-11-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Skiing and Snowboarding
  • Sports Equipment and Accessories
  • Sports Equipment Manufacture
CONT

If the stiffness changes with use, so will the ski's performance. A ski that mellows to the extent that it becomes easier to flatten its camber area will also have increased drag. The reason for this flattening ... is a breakdown of the core, called "core fatigue".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Ski et surf des neiges
  • Équipement et accessoires de sport

CONT

Si la rigidité du ski diminue à l'usage, sa performance en souffrira. Le ski qui vieillit au point où il devient facile à écraser offrira une plus grande résistance. Cet aplatissement est le résultat d'une dégradation du noyau.
