    a TRULLY straight ski?

    anyone ever skied on a 100% straight ski? I've skied a lot of reverse camber and sidecut skis, and most combos of all that, but wondering how a 100% straight, 100% flat ski would do?


    110/110/110, and flat.

    I've always thought if you took a straight ski like you describe, but gradually increased the spoonage towards the top and tail, it could be kinda fun.

      I thought Igneous made a ski with no sidecut about 10 years ago?

        Goode made the STR8 that had zero sidecut, but it was tapered from something like 140 tip to 130 tail. Might have been rockered too.

        Mount up a 1x6 and report back, oak for stiff flex, pine for soft. But don't get the lumber at Home Cheapo if you want it to be flat.

              Ya, and rockered. Maybe some sidecut too if you search for some aggressively crowned boards, reverse on one side and regular on the other. Could be a game changer.

                      I had that same idea while I was sitting on a chairlift today. An infinity radius ski. It would be interesting. But it would be better with rocker and convex base, not flat. Also, 110 is too narrow, jong.

                        mntlion is definitely not a jong. That would be you Mr. "I need a ski for AK style tech line tgr movie shit"

                              You guys don't make your own skis using nothing but an Ax? Pussies.
