A ski test, um, how fast can you go down a mountain before crashing?

 

max so far 71.1MPH; sustained 67 over about 300 feet.

It got 98.4 kph on a speed run in Adelboden, Switzerland. First thing in the morning, freshly serviced skis. That was scary! My aim was to break 100 by the end of the week but that's the fastest run I got.

61.2 (roughly) is a good starting point.

the above was shussing down a red run!  I need to get to Les Arcs and get on the flying K; next goal is 80mph, then 90, then 100!

les you missed out mate, some spectacular racing in the last race, picked up
to a F3/4, with the 9ers capsizing at the leeward mark, shame the race
comittee couldnt set a course for sh*t! Me and ratface had a few good races
in the B, beating the RS800 2012 proto over the water! (made it even better
as their our hydrs race coaches!!). Came flying through the cadet fleet at the
end, going full whack with the kite, much swearing involved, and a few
complaints from the coaches....

I got pushed along on the start by an angry looking 49er crew ...

Didn't see them do any turns though.

Oh well, I got a speed boost, They went backwards.
