I just realized that in LSS almost every skier is hitting the channel at keystone, throwing all kinds of shit... i have an issue of snowboarder where they cover Superpark 06 at keystone with the same setup but in the whole session ONLY travis robinson sacs up and hits the channel out of some of the top name pros. wats up with that ? cant just be a speed issue

Conditions change, maybe it wasn't hitable that day?

in the snowboard superpark movie they were having a lot of trouble with speed but eventually they got it figured out, kinda weird.

Think about this: in sailing a catamaran is faster than a boat with a single hull.

maybe it has to do with the fact that there is less surface area in contact with the snow vs a snowboard... less surface area = less friction
