so i was surfing round the transworld site the otherday and say a video of some early season snowboarding. it had some guys doing some rails and then a jump at the bottom. the hill was really flat tho and with the rails at the top, some ppl just couldnt get enough speed for the jumps. and if you watch closely some snowobarders in the video dont even make the landing! my favorate is when one guy does a backflip and lands pretty much on the wall!!! ROFL !!! he wasnt even close!
anyhow, with so many snowborders missing the landing i was wondering if skiers can go faster than snowboarders? we have poles (sometimes! if ya know what i mean) and can kick on hte in-run for more speed but when we drop in, can we go faster than snowboarders? +++++K for good ones (of course!)
