    I still think that looks completely retarded. Those things will never appear on the end of my feet I can promise you that. If it's to steep to ski with normal skis, I just go somewhere else (the stuff in the video doesn't appear to be too steep for normal and estethically pleasing skiing) :>
    Good luck with that though, I'm sure you'll find people who will buy them, people still use Segway you know :>.

    I would like to help you, but I don't understand your wish.
    Please explain it or send a private message.

    Regardless of how well the things ride, would any ski hill let you up with these things?

    They look lethal-I would not want to see a pair of rax flying at me piloted by some dipsh*t in the back seat

    Have been Rax riding in Arlberg/St Anton, Les 2 Alpes, La Grave, Obertauern, etc since March 2006 without any ban on lifts and teleferics. Even the worst models like "Extreme Firn" with horrible fins.

    We will not start manufacturing those extreme models,
    rather peaceful-looking ones like this "Fairy"


    and our new Generation 2008 with small, rounded fins and horizontal edges.

    They are excellent in soft snow ("Fairy") or on piste (Generation 2008)
    but perform less in extreme terrain.

    We do not have enough skis to sell now, tief schnee.
    But we do have enough prototypes to let them test by excellent riders.
    The best way is to ski together and then decide further.
    We are on Arlberg/Sonnenkopf with freeskiers Dec 14-16.
    The weekend Dec 8-9 is free and I could ski everywhere between Salzburg
    and Rax, if there are contacts.

    Distributing binders only (fins with/without carrier) will be very restricted
    as we prefer to check the whole assembly and the binding before any usage.

    the skier in the video appears to be slightly in the back seat.

    Does it hurt when you get a RAX in the Pooperhausen?
    It ain't skiing till your a$$ is puckered

    I don't get it. They look like something Coyote would strap to his feet to try and catch Roadrunner.

    You aren't a subsidary of ACME are you?

    That is indeed very fairyish.

    Truly epic.

    I'll trade you for a pair of 179 fat Bros, straight up.

    Wait, I'll even throw in some beer $$$ since you seem like such a good guy.
