loganimlachI'm glad all you ladies are sticking together, god forbid everyone doesn't get a gold star for trying instead of getting told their wrong
And he didn't just use the wrong word, he actually described layers sliding against each other leading to delamination earlier on, then changed his reasoning mid thread. How's your reading comprehension brew?

.frenchyI'm glad you couldn't of tried to nicely explain to somebody how the layers in a ski actually works, sorry we don't all work in the ski industry. But it's okay keep being a dick, gj editing your post too, brew.
loganimlachSorry, I'll try to be more sensitive next time
FKS_HEEL_PIECEIdk this fascination with noodles. You're gonna wash out all the time, and destroy your skis from the friction created by the flex.

hemlockjibber8You are the rightest, but really, for NS's sake, he was right as well. But I guess you deserve the trophy.
Friction wasn't even the wrong choice of words.
"Dry friction resists relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in contact. Dry friction is subdivided into static friction ("stiction") between non-moving surfaces, and kinetic friction between moving surfaces."
loganimlachStiction has to do with the force required to force those layers to slide against each other, so in this instance, stiction is actually what's holding your ski together, not making it delam. Dude, what is everyone's obsession with trying to argue for this kid? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
CheddarJackThe two truest things said in this thread.
TNORTS wins.
SammyDubzBut that's not what you said you fucking imbecile
FKS_HEEL_PIECEI also didn't say the layers freely slide against each other. I still stand by the fact that flexing them creates friction. When an object bends (a ski), the outermost layer doesn't wand to magically get longer, so one of two things will happen. Eigther the outermost layer (the base and edge) will stretch, or friction against the other layers will be created. I never said they would slide, but eventually, when enough friction has worn out the fiberglass holding it together, yes. The layers will begin to slide and by this point, you have achieved friction. A stiffer ski would not want to flex in the first place and this would not be a problem, unless put in a situation where its rigidity will cause it to snap. This will still be less likely for a stiff ski to snap (generally) because typically, they have more reinforcement, which is why they don't flex in the first place (diamonds are both strong and brittle).

loganimlachGo on to solve our world problems, you magical, magical physicist.
.frenchylol... dude i'm the last one to talk about sensitivity to. I'm just saying; not everyone knows everything about skis like you, it would help to just inform the person that they're wrong and not be a flaming douche about it, and people wonder why not many people come here anymore
Jesse_Imlach's right btw... Not sure why your arguing with and engineer.
.frenchyyou're*
Jesse_tanks ya bish. Yu muste lieke to be grametecelly corect.
SofaKingSickdude he's an engineer, their operating system has strict rules about being douchey at every opportunity
loganimlachThank God, finally someone who understands
