    RaxSki from Austria, the most controversial ski

    1) It is certainly NOT, it just looks like. 2) First: RaxSki is not snowblade. Second: do you really think I would not ride it down ? The same trace ? But I would wait at the top until you shake down the avalanche and then I would save your life. We love riding on old avalanches -...

    RaxSki from Austria, the most controversial ski

    I would "tomahawk" it down. The TGR extreme rider\"jump turn" (he is a resident of Franconia, NH) is convinced that RaxSki is the best gear for such a couloir. RaxSki may be worse than big-mountain for big air and huge jumps from cliffs but it is superior for all steep narrow chutes with any...

    Give me DEEP POW, Rose_N and will show you how to rax it! I have not seen POW for ages in that part of Austria we are skiing. In powder you can try even MONO RAX like

    So do we, Utter ! As close to all-line a possible - it's adrenaline. That's the heritage of "Firngleiter". But explain me the the fact that the majority of conventional freeriders around me perform jump turns ?

    RaxSki from Austria, the most controversial ski

    If everyone would be skiing on RaxSkis, 100% of the accidents would be while skiing on RaxSkis. That\\\'s it. Carled! Yet no logic will help you to deduce whether there will be less or more injuries after the human race abandons the era of \\\"carvers\\\". Yeah, we are not simply cutting skis...

    RaxSki from Austria, the most controversial ski

    [url= video 2011[/url] The last couloir in this clip (the one in the shadow) was about as steep as the photo. There was a danger of avalanche there. The second skier in this chute used the "the best material - big mountain skis" and "the best technique - jump turns" - and immediately released a...

    Out of a garbage, Perkal ! Fashionable poles are not needed when raxing down some wild couloir like

    RaxSki from Austria, the most controversial ski

    1) I appreciate your profesional knowledge, DrTelemark. I would never dare to explain biomechanichal mechanisms. My son-in-law has the same profession as you. He is also very sceptical - to ALL kind of alpine skiing, especially skiing on piste. As far as RaxSki is concerned you should be very...

    No, Adam, you should not wait at the end of the slope! You should rather start with me. Hope you will enjoy terrain like this one

    Adam, there is just one possibility to convince you - to try the RaxSki yourself Tom

    Would like to race down steeps with you! Just to compare. Sexappeal ? We are trying to shape our models as attractive as possible

    RaxSki from Austria, the most controversial ski

    Yes, we are regularly announcing our tests in Austria on www.raxski.com. From now on there are 10 pairs of RaxSki to rent in Scotland. There are RaxSkis in USA, France, Italy, Germany, Australia and in Pamir (Kirgizstan). We hope that we will deliver RaxSkis to Sweden soon. The standard wide...

    RaxSki from Austria, the most controversial ski

    Austrian former world champion Benni Raich had neither a fall nor a bad technique on that day. I know it is not easy to realize that. Imagine the shaped carving ski&style as if you had two narrow boats under your feet. Each boat has its rudder located at the front part instead at the boat's...

    RaxSki from Austria, the most controversial ski

    Tell me, what is "backseat" ? Something the beginners do ? Or the extreme carving with your hip nearly touching the snow ? The latter is very "trendy" though your weight is more backwards than with any RaxSki. "Jet turns" accelerated by "jetting" the skis forward and at the same time transfering...

    RaxSki from Austria, the most controversial ski

    1) Vattendroppe, I was talking about knee ligament ruptures WITHOUT falli ! Like Benni Raich's accident in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on Feb 16. An eventual fall would save his knees! Accidents like this are 100% caused by shaped edges. 2) I guess I have already cited references like US test...

    RaxSki from Austria, the most controversial ski

    No, on piste you use the same position as with any shaped carving ski. In very steep couloir you stand upright over you ski (but the ski is NOT parallel to the slope). But if you are riding over old avalanches or tracked heaps you MUST lift your ski tips - whatever ski you are just riding on...

    RaxSki from Austria, the most controversial ski

    If you were right, Vattendroppe, how could you explain scores of knie injuries (ligament ruptures) with "ordinary" carving skis? All these were caused by sudden torque that simply tore ligaments. Well I understand that you do'nt believe the RaxSki could be better for your knies. No reference...

    Yes, of course. Just tell us parameters of your tele-binding and we will mark best positions for drilling. The selection and the adaptation of skins is your problem. On our website/shop www.raxski.com you can see the model Skater with another free-heel binding ("Tourenbindung")

    RaxSki from Austria, the most controversial ski

    1) Short RaxSki can never produce higher torque than a 1,70 ski. The distance between a wide tip and the ski boot is approx. 1 meter at the regular carver. The distance between the boot and the central fin is about 8cm. 2) It is a pure wishful-thinking that "carver" is running on its edge...
