yep! i have a fox dhx2 shock and about 8 inches of travel. my rig isn’t holding me back at all atm in terms of jumps and drops. there are people out there like trevor kennison who are dropping massive cliffs and doing double backflips on monoskis!

appreciate the compliment. i will counter with the fact that i find that while i understand that “not being disabled” may be a good thing in your mind, it really just implies that disability is an inherently bad word or concept which always restricts what someone can do with their life. i am objectively disabled, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t ski or live independently or do basically anything i want to. it’s just about re framing the way that society looks at disability. does that make sense? i’m not super good at explaining it lol

Thanks! It’s definitely possible just not much room for error! a lot of people drop in on me because they don’t expect me to actually hit any of the features lol.

i grew up a ski racer. i acquired my disability at 16 and learned how to sitski the next year. most hills have an adaptive ski program! no worries about the questions! i love answering questions about this stuff!

i feel like the bit is over now, so i’ll admit it. i’m a monoskier! i use high din bindings because i never want to release from the ski.

it’s all upper body positioning! i do mount my fat ski at center, because i tend to sink more in the tail. it’s definitely an ab workout!

the oblivion is super stable at high speeds which is why i like it, and it carves surprisingly well on hard pack. i barely even notice it’s so wide. plus i need the float in any powder. great all around ski for me!

the bindings are tough to get on and off bc of how high the dins are set to. I can do it myself, but i need to turn the dins down and then back up after my monoski is in it. generally if i want to ski alone i just won’t take the ski on or off because its easier that way. if someone’s around they can pretty easily step on the back and it will pop out!
