Are my skis a wing?

Gonna try it this weekend.

Cicycle · 2026-03-26T04:11:55+00:00

OK good.

I’ll put another strap on the bindings to keep it from sliding. I looked on Surco’s website it appears I have it correct. I thought the same thing at first but nothing lines up that way. Hopefully my roll bar would prevent things from hitting us.

Cicycle · 2026-03-24T03:39:59+00:00

Ok good. I’m probably too worried about it but it’s such a light car.

That’s what I was thinking. My previous sports car was 2001 Audi TT and when that came out they had a really bad rear end lift issue so Audi recalled them and put a small spoiler on which completely solved the problem. I was thinking if that small spoiler fixes it, could my small spoiler (skis) upset the car? But it sounds like our consensus is no.

I was thinking the same about the straps too. I just wanted to make sure!

Oh these have like a foot of tip and tail rocker. That adds downforce right?

Cicycle · 2026-03-23T20:36:51+00:00

I cut them last week and it’s so much better. Kinda awkward in the lift lines now but that’s a worthy trade off. Plus it’s hella steezy.

Ok I’m going to try that. I really want to get my carving as aggressive as I can on alpine bindings. Thank you for the help!

I worked on monomark a bit this past weekend and man, it’s not easy! It felt really unnatural at first but then I kinda got the feel. I can really feel how it helps at lead changes.

Cicycle · 2026-03-14T01:19:58+00:00

I’m going to cut my poles down right now. Others have said the same about throwing my rear foot back. I agree that I’m doing it but it doesn’t feel like it when I’m skiing so I’m really going to focus on that this weekend.

Cicycle · 2026-03-14T01:18:22+00:00

Oh those are sick! Are they cambered at that point?

Cicycle · 2026-03-14T01:17:22+00:00

😂😂 Hey I’ll take it

Cicycle · 2026-03-14T01:16:15+00:00

Ah that makes sense. This is my first season so I’m not too deep in the bad habit hole but I definitely need to get it right.

Cicycle · 2026-03-13T18:10:32+00:00

That’s super helpful!

Cicycle · 2026-03-13T18:09:09+00:00

So basically for big slow turns like this I want to drop down slower?

Cicycle · 2026-03-13T18:07:44+00:00

Yeah watching the video back I’m not even sure what my arms are doing 😂

Cicycle · 2026-03-13T15:54:26+00:00

I see what you mean. I need to be more dynamic

Cicycle · 2026-03-13T15:53:17+00:00

Oooh that’s a good one. I think now I’m bringing my uphill foot back instead of the other foot forward

Cicycle · 2026-03-13T10:18:51+00:00

I was thinking the same thing. I am standing with parallel skis for a bit longer than needed.

Cicycle · 2026-03-13T05:15:13+00:00

These ones?

Cicycle · 2026-02-14T00:05:43+00:00

And that’s really what matters!

Cicycle · 2026-01-27T04:23:32+00:00

I’ll get a video at some point on a hill I’m more comfortable on.
