rach 1 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I'm just watching some World Cup skiing from Wengen in Switzerland on tv here and noticed their skis seemed quite long. Not being a skier or a racer I don't know much about it.... but what is special about the skis they use for these races? Interesting to watch though. They go pretty fast - quite a lot of the guys seem to be really struggling to keep control. Link to post Share on other sites
marnix 0 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Those are downhill skis and between 215 en 225 long and they need the length for some stability at 120kmh. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 FT's "new" downhill race skis courtesy of Sanno are huge. They tower above his head and weigh a ton. I'm not sure if I could control them. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Yes you could if I can do it so can you. Turn radius of 50 meters though, can you say 100km skis? Link to post Share on other sites

woywoy 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Must be easier getting face shots when you are only 149.5cm though ... at least it has some advantages! Link to post Share on other sites
