How to choose rostovku (length) of modern skis?
The easiest method - standing on the floor skis should get you around to the nose. If your weight below the norm - even a little shorter. Above the rules - you need to ski a little harder - for the ride, but still not above the forehead.
Typically, a detailed consultation, please contact a consultant at the store and catalog producers.
Can-Do buy used equipment?
It is possible, but in this case you can not do without the assistance of the skiing experience - he will be able to notice most defects in equipment. Even though, would be about the age of the selected gear, too, will help to define, but it will help save money. Or least part of them ...
If you still have to go for used skis alone, at least listen to the advice of bones Muranovo:
1. Ski, if the seller is honest and noble man, you are not warned about this particular, should not have traces of bonding. Therefore, carefully consider lyzhu side - the side surface should be one color and do not have the influx of (epoksidka!). Take lyzhu for sock with one hand and the other with the force push on the load surface. Consider carefully. There have been cases where the skis glued flake.
2. Kant in the profile must be square, and the gap between the edge and the ski, if any, should be the same throughout the length of skis.
3. Ruler attached vertically to skolzyachke, should show a flat or slightly convex line, in no case dish and not very convex - this is a sign that the skis tochili (by evil intent or for the stupidity) of the skolzyachki so that the ski seemed not chiselled never - slot intact (and, incidentally, slot - a sign of a lot of older skis - to the modern models do not do), and the edges are sharp and laterally as new.
4. Skiing, to each other have the sliding surfaces, form a symmetrical shape. In sharp squeeze fingers heard a single short cotton. If the ski was in an accident, then neither the first nor the second.
5. Look along the sliding surface is better just two ski - surface should not be a screw, and the surface of skis owned by the same plane.
6. Look at the place of contact, folded to each other sliding surfaces of skis. With slow compression point of contact did not have to move closer to the middle of skis. If such movements are well marked - ski socks "tired" and do not work, the spacecraft should be.
7. Bring at least someone else, not even a specialist in equipment - the buyer, for various reasons it is so зачарован product that does not see the obvious, or thought: "And the hell with it, that with a defect, but cool design."
Often advised to purchase directly skis for advanced katalschikov, "to growth." Does this point?
This board is also interesting, since it boots: To start with it makes sense to choose the least stringent and most forgiving mistakes, "decent" skis. It is such and the skis are for beginners. Of course, if you are doing well in sports and physical development, as well as the planning progressed quickly, and you can buy skis pozhestche - for the ride, a little more "advanced". But do not buy the most powerful skis for experts or athletes - will slow down progress. After all, nobody is not studying (yes even on the streets with heavy traffic) to drive a car while driving Ferrari, do not buy multiprocessor server in order to play computer toys are not using a satellite navigation system in order to go to the nearest bakery ... So why the sudden need to buy expensive (and even specialized) models of skis in order to learn the simplest movements? If you want your skis are a calling card, buy a ski-attachment system Pilot of Salomon - is an exclusive model Verse 10 Pilot and comfortable, and prestigious. Or select model for beginners is available from Volant, Stokli or even "cooler" - La Croix. These skis on the slope, you certainly do not see any room for, the company is positioned to ski as a very prestigious, and the price they are relevant. And this is not enough? Then La Croix c crystals from Swarovski, Bogner ... Yes little if expensive toys for those who want to stand out?
What companies produce good skis?
Absolutely all of us produce a good ski. You can say to another: every skis manufactured by all companies for beginners, very good. Until you become a true expert who can understand the behavior of each model of skis, you can absolutely safely choose skis you like stamps or vice versa - do not pay attention to the brand. Of course, each company has its successes - the model, a kind of sympathy the leaders of the user, and the more the company offers models of skis - the higher the chance of further success, a development model that will benefit from increased attention. But remember: how many people - so much and opinions, and a very critical attitude to the Council, particularly the advice and the advice of non-vendor shops, which offered only one brand.
Recommend a model for beginners.
The best way to navigate directories on manufacturers, as well as advice from a consultant in the store. In recent years, manufacturers in their catalogs publish recommendations for each model skis. Also, the characteristics and features of the model are published in the magazines "Ski" and directory "Ski Guide - team" and the catalog of equipment M. Gusev. Read magazines, catalogs, or at least, would be the results of tests on the same site ...
Is there any sense to begin with Snowblades?
Snowblades - short, long before the meters lyzhiki defined neotstegivayuschimisya anchorages. Tech skiing on them differs from that used for skiing, so start with them is not worth learning. Snowblades - other sports projectile, which can also receive a lot of fun, but learn from them is not easy because of the small length and, consequently, a broad zone of insufficient balance in the longitudinal direction.
By the way, the choice of skis, Valentin Tsoy (magazine "SKI / Skiing" 1996)
In Kopaonik, at the ski resort of Yugoslavia, we have such a question by Drago - Director ski service. He did not understand us. "Well - we have begun explained - that the heel was pozhestche, sock pomyagche ... or what?" Again it is not clear. "Why? Let such as is the heel." Then we asked: "How do you choose your skis?" - A-and - finally, he is consistent - the costumes, in color. All good skiing!
The more the ride - the more I agree setim approval. But add: they are all different, each with its own character, but because we (again), rolls for fun, so better to find a partner to obtain just such a pleasure, which will take you to a maximum of Kayf. Depending on what you want: supple and comfortable model or obstinate and capricious, so that you can permanently break it.
