how do you go fast

'its all bout the skier and knowin how to ski fast when its flat' on the flats has nothing to do w/ it...and its not all about the skier, do you know how much faster you're going to go when your skis are tuned and waxed good?

if one has a jetpack, they'll usually be faster, or if the other one is carrying a parachute behind them, they'll be slower...usually

if youre slower than someone, draft right behind them, it will slingshot you ahead of them really easily.

Actually the slingshot thing really works and yeah i already said it but aerodynamic positioning and also being able to milk the turns... when your drafting be careful to not run into the person ahead, cuz then it will make you slower.

i think the heavier you are the faster you go, and the longer skis you have the faster you go

never try to draft someone with twintips. Ice in your face hurts.

Haha, I have 1260s too and people complain about me, it's awesome though I was doing wide turns going super fast fakie down the end of the park (nothing left), and I was watching my huge rooster tails flying out the back, it was sooo sweet.

speed = strength, knowing how to work your skis, and terrine, aerodynamics and wax.

what if one had an engine twice as fast as another engine. and one ski had a regular engine and one ski had a double fast engine. what if the double fast engined ski drags a parachute. then what ski is faster?
i hate posers. thanx to harvey and all who contribute to the site for makin it so kick ass. the world is my very own pot party.

yea, the only problem with draft + slingshot is that you get poked in the eye with a pole if you screw it up......

either that, or you get an ass full of face... shit face full of ass too..... not too good going fast.........

the biggest trick to going fast (besides longer skis and a good wax) is staying on your egdes without scrubbing off the speed. if you can stay on your edges will gently turning, it works great. also knowing where the fall lines are...

huckster, it all depends on the size of the parachute, if you had a parachute for a little army guy it wouldent, but if you did the math with drag and stuff it would eventually work out, unless there is a breeze, *woah* ive never ben this smart before

DrPepper is right... thats another important thing... besides the Vrroom Vrroom noises that is... flat basing it is slower than staying on an edge and gently weaving from side to side.

Whistlermann, you're wrong, bases are faster than edges, but only when going straight. if you aren't riding a flat ski you'll be slow. BUT when you are turning thats when you use your edges to make clean arcs, and would be faster than skiding on your base. I do believe that making the varoom noise helps too.
