Friflyt forum Ski ski for extreme couloirs, new Firngleiter

Hello, Rax Ski!

Man, you are one ugly son of a bitch!

Metal fins sticking out all over the damn place...

You make one hell of a freak-show all by yourself!

One thing is for sure, I'll never put your ugly ass on my ski-boots, that's for damn sure!

Maybe you make turns on extremely steep runs possible, but I really don't give a shit. You're not even a ski. You're a mix between a ski and something out of Inspector Gadget's worst friggin nightmare!

If a skiier hasn't got the skills to handle really steep conditions with regular, NORMAL skis, then he/she should simply stay away from them!

So, Mr. Rax Ski, let me say loud and clear (using my Arnold Schwarzenegger-voice):

"GET OUT OF HERE...NOW!"

Sånn, fiksa det.

Tom fra østerrike skal ha skryt for stå-på-viljen, men det er ganske mange andre ting jeg vil gjøre i bakken enn å kjøre på knekte ski fra åttitallet påmontert vinkeljern

Har vel en teori om at fyren mest er ute etter oppmerksomhet og det får han jo.

Kanskje friflyt kan teste raxskiene i neste års skitest?

La vær å svar på denne tråden så forsvinner dette jævla plasstrengende og sinnsyke innlegget fra toppen av forumlisten!

Når det gjelder teknisk og fysisk test av ski i benk og div er jo Fri Flyt helt på topp (der er jo du Endre uten tvil Fri Flyt sin store ressurs), men; utvid testteamet og kvaliteten på de som skal prøvekjøre skiene!

Why not,friflyt kan teste raxskiene !!

This is the only way to find the truthabout this unknown ski.

Tom, i sent you a personal message a while ago.

Sometimes I do not know what you are talking about!I WANT FRIFLYT TO TEST OUR RAX SKIS.

Friflyt would not be the first ski forum to test them.An independent report on Rax ski was written by "DB" inhttp://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=35246

The report on this English forum ends with:The Rax ski enables you to 'turn on a sixpence', Tom could put in a few turns on the track or the soft snow above it to slow down. Tom would probably go straight down the fall-line to the side of where you skied though....I consider (Rax ski) as a quiver ski for certain conditions. Conditions that would be skiable on a normal ski but not without risk.At first I was on the front of the Rax ski or I should say on the front half of a very short ski. Was expecting to headbutt the floor and loose a few teeth at any moment but it didn't happen. As the day went on Í became more comfortable and more centered on the ski. The turning radius is very short and so avoiding people is easier. Tom was able to dart all over the place with little effort whereas the longer turning radius of my normal skis made it much harder work. When the piste was busy I had to back off whereas Tom was off like a rabbit scared by a shot. In steep wet snow conditions the Rax ski is probably safer. I only fell twice, once during my unexpected backflip and once when the ski caught something underneath (this could of happened on a normal ski too). People around me were going down more times than Monica Lewinsky. When skiers/boarders collide it tends to be body parts and not skis that do the damage. The fins aren't as sharp as normal ski edges and I didn't come away thinking "wow these things could really do some damage".

Why dont you take a trip to Norway with a coupple of demo skis, so that we can try it and be convinced about this "fantastic" ski?

Sometimes I do not know what you are talking about!I WANT FRIFLYT TO TEST OUR RAX SKIS.

Then you have got to reply on my PM, Tom

Yes, I have already asked Endreabout conditions in Norway.I am next week in USA (New England)and then in France (La Grave: Derby de la Meije).I hope the ski season in long in Norway.

"fantastic" ski? Of course not.But with Raxski you have one thing more (fin control)and one thing less (the unnecessary long ski).

You feel like a new born when you change to 90 cm Raxski. Just icy steep slopes and high speeds requirelonger Raxski with sharp edges.

Guess I have stop removing the ski-crampons from my touring skis!

i actually thougt this cruel invention was dead by now...

I want a "I (heart) RAXSKI" t-shirt!

so, when can we buy a pair of raxski twintip? I can`t wait!

Detta gjorde kvelden min ihvertfall!

Bra kjørt! Hehe.. Helt suverent! Jeg vil ha en slik og høkke rundt på!

Tom; i love your skiis!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

hvis d dær blir populært så skal æ brenne alle skian mine og lægg mæ ned å sove....

Må si e syns det her virka som eit latterlig konsept. Ser heilt latterlig ut gjør det også:grin

Men for all del, får eg mulighet til å prøve eit par sir e ikkje neitakk!

Make a twintip version!!:twisted

No, we are very agile.We just forgot to inform you about this fact.

You can find us here or here

The first Rax communities exist in New England and Tirol

Never. Like the surfboard, the ship and the car.Rax ski got one and only one preferred driving direction.

If a device is equally good in both directions,then it is not as good as a specialized one-direction gear.

Hei!Stumpski eller miniski vokste jeg opp med på 70 tallet og den "kjørestilen" disse gutta viste på videoen var som å se meg selv for 45 år siden,på miniski!All ære til dem som vil prøve på noe "nytt",men jeg kommer ihvertfall IKKE til å skaffe meg noen Rax ski:twisted!!!

RINwink:wink

Dette er noe av det styggeste, og mest latterlige jeg noen gang har sett. Vidoene som er lagt ut fungerer bedre som skremselspropaganda enn som reklame.

To Tom: This is total CRAP, an nobody is going to buy it!

Skriveleif: To Tom: This is totaly CRAP, and nobody is going to buy it!

Yeah, skimachine.Unlike crampons, fins are positioned100% above the gliding base of the ski.This is the very substance of our invention.

But somehow you are right:when hiking upwards on Rax skis with touring binding,fins act as a brake against sliding back.

We have been already selling. StianLa !But this is not so important factas we are still developing Rax technologyand changing model policy.

More important are our campaigns worldwide.With Obama the US and the world got lessconservative and can accept the change,even in alpine skiing.

But we don`t position Rax ski as"either Rax or conventional skis".rather as a new snow-going gearthat can be used after you got tired withyour normal long skis.You immediately feel like a new bornon these easy turning short skis.

You (and nobody else) will decidewhether Rax is better for you in specific conditions.

Is that even possible?:surprisedSay that you actually got tired of "normal" skis, I seriously doubt that the raxski is the answer. But perhaps this is only my opinion..

If I ever get tired of normal skis(NO WAY!)I'll begin snowboarding!!!!:razz

Yes, any short ski is easy to handle,because you have to turn just the half of the lengthand the half of the weigth.Stepping in a short ski at end of the daylets you feel as if you had only boots on.

The only problem with "any" short ski isthat it does not track well.Short skis tend to wobble and tremble on rough,hard snow and iced-up old tracks.
