highpeak6.9 mph, anything over you'll implode
shin-bangOn groomers, they seem to handle ok at high speeds. Going Mach 9 potato, I do a get slightly nervous and get a bit of chatter.
on pretty mellow crud, they’re fun and usually bust right through. On Heavy deep crud I feel like I’m gonna get tossed, and switch to the billy goats or caylors. Depends on your style tho. I like to ski long turns really fast through crud and absorb everything, and they def don’t excel at that compared to others. If you like more of quick snappier turns at high speed in crud, they work better for that.
idk that’s my opinion and my writing probably is not coherent at all.
LoysnicoFor me the SFB encourages so much to do everything else than going fast that you don't want to "just go straight" with them and, instead, do a crazy new turn shape you've never done before or take a hit in a completely different way than with you would on a stiffer / straighter ski.
In my opinion, the SFB changes how you interpret the terrain in a way that you don't even think to go the fastest possible down the fall line.
