Any was to reinduce camber

damn,

well they are still awsome for park as the lack means less catching.

Could i try leaving a weight on them for the next 3 months until our season to make it happen
 
its kinda like the flex, when you put the ski down only the tips will touch and the middle should be off the ground
 
fuck that is a pain, i used them 30 days max and always stored them upside down like my racers and they have never lost it
 
Your ski is shaped like a curve. Get one of your skis and lay it flat on the ground. You will notice the center is higher than the tip and tail. That height is camber.
 
and when you loose camber, that curve can either be reversed or flat, reversed is good for pow, flat is ok but sucks for groomers which i ski in aus
 
hand your skis upside down, supported only by the tips and tails....place a 5-pound weight on each ski...let it sit for a few weeks....

Many people store their skis locked together and if your garage is too humid the core will de-camber during the summer...best to keep em seperate and upside down...even just the weight of the binding will help....
 
you can put ur ski upside down over your bath tub with books on the underfoot to kinda flex it back..
 
hahha so could i take my shitty skis do that and add more camber so theyd have like crazy pop
 
yes I understand camber (I have predators). Im just saying, you can't get more camber into a ski (if you dont use it, you loose it) so puttign the books on and stuff might help KEEP what you have, to not loose more.
 
So if i placed them upside down and put a pair of bindings on the base and a text book and a camera they should be corrected?

Should I do this with my maidens also?

is theyre anyway to stiffen a ski?

1) Make sure when you store your skis during the summer you do not have them strapped together tightly...best to seperate them. It is also good to loosen the DIN on your bindings down to their lowest setting (keeps the springs in better shape)

2) You can definetly try hanging them upside down as a previosuly described....it would work on any ski....but how much camber do you really need on powder skis. Plus the maided are ultra-soft, you probably would not notice much of a difference.

These tips are really for those of you who have skis that have over 75+ days on them or are 2-years old....newer sticks should not have this problem, if they do it should be covered by the company and they will likely replace them
 
I always store them properly, with a few pairs of race skis you dont want to go ruining them. The PE's just lost camber from skiing them not from improper storage
