Replying to Do wider skis make a difference on knee impact?
Curious what people’s thoughts are from their own experience of riding multiple waist widths in the park. Do wider skis seem like they would lead to more acl injuries or heavier impact on landings?
What about having a heavier setup in general? Do you think that creates more impact on landings?
Also here’s a scenario. Say you have two different skis, one has full camber and a supportive tail, and say the other is rockered and soft like a Vishnu wet.
let’s say you landed just as backseat on both of these skis.
would it actually be better on your knees in theory for your skis to fully flex out and take it to the side (like what a wet would do). Or have a stiff ski that can support you and let you ride it out easier.
I’m aware you’re not scientists but I’m interested in your opinions.
Also I’m getting tired of people saying things like “this has been talked about before” and then link to some janky ass thread where all the comments just say “pee in her butt” and don’t really have any legit answers.
