Is it bad to ride a ski that has been delammed and not fixed yet?

last time i went skiing, a good 3  inch  long section of the topsheet peeled off of my fujatives(a small strip alond the edge)

I have another pair of skis, but i want to save the edges to be sharp for my hs race on monday(they're twintips too)

listen dude....my volkl dogens delammed, then the core seperated from the base of the ski. so thee base/edges were pointing away from the topsheet/core of the ski making a 90 degree angle. i duct taped that shit back together, and i skiied on it all weekend. when i get up to high speeds my ski slaps up and down, but for the most part im fine

youll be okay too

Yea, it's real bad. It could delam further, which could fuck shit up, or even worse, water could get into your core, weakening or rotting it. But it's not a big deal, ride on it for a few days.

you really think that a couple of days of riding is going to fuck up your edges? even if you do rails you probably only go .10 of a second slower. you are racing on non race specific skis, do you really think you can win anyway?

dynastar nothin but troubles, but i dont really care about how well i do, because im not as good as the real racers, but  probably in part due to the fact that my edges dont hold on ice so well becuase i do rails on them
