why do racers ski with their boots unbuckled all the time?

when we actually ski with our boots undone, its a drill that promotes centeredness and balance on your skis. try it sometime, guarantee you can carve a turn...

GOSH...... IDIOT!

I can't fit my feet into anything smaller than my boots. How can people wear such small boots?

it also keeps them warmer, dont ask me how, but because theres more oxygen in the boot. especially if u have foot warmers in u should do that

what the hell kind of a question is that. Unbuckle your boots so you're feet can actually move. Racing boots are stiff as shit, and you know how hard it is to walk in ski boots, especially stiff ones. Why wear them buckled if you dont have to... its just for comfort.



yeah, rockin' the heartagram.
