ottobre rosso
Tempo fa si e' parlato del futuro dello sci da pow come ad uno sci che probabilmente avrebbe avuto nella sua struttura il carbonio come materiale siccome offre molti vantaggi che vanno ben oltre al peso finale.
Ora ci sono i pro e i contro.
Cosa ne pensate invece della sciancratura e centina inversi...
Non sono un rider esperto con tanta esperienza pero' avendo avuto la possibilita' di provare-anche se per una due discese-uno sci a camber inverso ho notato una maggiore reattivita'e facilita'nella sciata.
Ottobre rosso e' uno sci che e' uscito tempo fa dalla garage inc di skibuilders ed e' stato lo sci che piu'a colpito per facilita' duso il suo rider e costruttore Kam.
La parola a voi per le vostre impressioni o teorie sul futuro del reverse
March 23, 2005: Sugar Bowl Resort, CA by Kam S. Leang. Big Kam, Skip, and I took the Red Oktobers for their first runs on a fresh foot of snow. I'm glad to say that they
actually float and float well. They should be renamed to something a little more fitting but
we'll just keep it for the sake of color. The Red Oktobers definitely make skiing powder an effortless task. I've never ridden this style of ski before so it took a few runs to get hang of smearing my turns and the out-of-control stops on the hard pack. Good thing crowds
weren't an issue because there would've been some serious human bowling going on. But
off the hard pack these skis are incredibly forgiving with no concern for hooking or tip
diving. However, the dramatic reverse sidecut do make the skis a little sketchy and it's
hard to get a handle on things when the snow becomes firm. Another problem with the
Oktobers was their softness. With the core being only 7mm at it's thickest point the skis
came out a little soft which allowed them to get knocked around quite a bit. But aside from
these two issues I'm really excited about these skis. They definitely change my outlook on
designs of powder skis and I'm sure I'll incorporate some of the Red Oktober elements in
my future skis.
