brzmi jak straszliwa groźba... ja bym się bał.

Tak jest !

Like more than 300 skiers having tested and/or bought Rax skis last winter,
6 to 65 years old, boarders, adult beginners, experts, from London,
Boston, Innsbruck and Munich. One of them was really disappointed:
the Olympia Fourth in woman downhill 1976. Others reported as
follows
"I like my 188 Bluehouses/Burton Canyon/Head Teles's etc way too much. But, if the conditions suck these skis start to perform. A few of us got the Rax skis on and went into some steep and tight trees. Because it had rained and frozen over the past few nights there was a nasty ice crust probably about 3/4 of an inch thick. When you broke through it in the trees it sounded like breaking glass. If i were on my 188's I would have had a hard time..."

"... lower sections of pistes
were getting soft and destroyed – just the right conditions
for Rax skis. While other skiers could hardly turn in this slush
and were falling frequently, I raised my ski tips and draw nice curves
on rear fins..."

"I don't think anyone in northern VT was skiing woods on 3-21 except for the Rax crew. You had two alternative choices that day, do get drunk or stick to blue ice groomers! The Rax got the job done!"

"Getting my ski edges sharper, we mastered even very hard groomers.
Whether the carve turn, the classical (skidded) turn, the plough
or the “rax” turn on the fins, everything goes with Rax.
You are just limited by your own phantasy...."

"I wouldn't even say boilerplate....like skiing on a polished diamond (insert hardest material) surface. Groomers were a sh*t....
When there is an ice crust or the snow is sketch I will probably ride Rax in the woods."

Why not ? Except for running "fackie" - backwards where you need twin tips.
I personally prefer all mountain rax, called model "Couloir Rider"

.. czym snowblady sie roznia od sraxów? ... /

finamy !!!

Vertical metal fins at ski tails make the whole difference.
No other ski got such fins.
Rax skis = fins
fins = Rax skis

ee tam, w porównaniu do pierwszych filmików z raxami, ten jest dość słaby. wygląda troche jak jazda na zwykłych krótkich nartkach czy innym ustrojstwie.

p.s. za pierwszym razem przeczytałem "mam zrytą psychike i stracone dziewictwo" :D

How could be this film "dość słaby, w porównaniu do pierwszych filmików z raxami" ?
I have been hearing all the time that ALL Rax videos are "słabe" ! 

"stracone dziewictwo" ? Hopefuly not with the help of a Rax rider !

On the other hand "zrytą psychike" could I well imagine
as a consequence of the Rax revolution.

Tom musisz wlozyc w promocje rax wiecej rocka, zrob sobie fryzure jak Glen Plake, zacznij cpac, pojdz na pare lat do pierdla, rozjeb jakis pokoj w hotelu w gorskim kurorcie rozkurw jednego RAXa niczym gitare uderzajac nim o podloge na jakims koncercie, a potem zacznij sprzedawac swoj "wynalazek". Po takiej historii masz zapewnione, ze najwieksi hardcorowcy freeskiingu sie do ciebie sami zglosza. Beda kicac na raxach krzyczac "jestem hardcoreeeeeeem", a ty zostaniesz obrzydliwie bogaty i bedziesz mial w domu kran, z ktorego beda lecialy pieniadze z zyskow z raxow... :P

Yes you are right, Jasiu 3city.
We should start the most incredible, shocking, shouting and even shooting campaign for Rax skis.

And at the same time folow the strategy of "grass roots":
distributing Rax skis among children, women, normal piste skiers, etc

Oh, we still have no Rax community in Poland !
Whoever is interested and can come and ski on Alpen glaciers in Summer and Autumn
can test Rax skis and get them free- without any contract and obligation.
If not possible we will try to start tests in Tatra and Eastern Austria end of November

but not for better...

Well this video is surely not the last word in the Rax story.

If something is better for somebody it could be worse for somebody else.
For many skiers the introduction of "carving" made the skiing worse.

This is why we will never try to "make the skiing better".
"Better or worse" is a matter of individual evaluation

1)... why do u advertise them on this forum?...see them in shops, tv ...it's not a new product but after 3 years...

2)... where do u sell them? any shops? ... did u try to intrest some distributors? like inter sport...r?

3) ... where do u manufacture them? what are the costs and prices. did u sell any of them? did u make any profit? i ...?

4) ...I tried to understand you... and I came to a conclusion that it might be only a joke,...

1) and 2) We started these discussions in October 2007 in US (TetonGravity and Epicski),
    followed by UK (snowheads, natives, j2k), DE (carving-ski, freeskiers and alpinforum)
    and FR (pistehors, skipass).
    Then in Feb 2008  we launched campaigns in Norway, Russia, Spain and Poland.
    The whole was a pure provocation of the ski establishment (experts and industry).
    We just wanted to announce this invention worldwide but we had no expectation and no goal.
    We invested nearly nothing - Internet is cheap - and got a huge profit in form of
    new ideas and critisism in tousands of replies from more than 30.000 visitors.

    The input from this first internet campaign made us completely change the design of Rax skis.
    We dropped the exotic look and made skis comfortable for normal customers skiing piste.
    We adopted the carving style for Rax skis and Big Mountain features.
    Rax skis learned to ride on ice.

    Ski shops and distributors ?
    They are welcome but if they try to demand 50% profit we say NO.
    Rax is not just another model of conventional ski, potentional distributor must be willing
    to carry some risk. 
    Up to now we have been selling via Internet or directly on piste
    but in summer we will try to imbrace Intersport et al.

   TV ?
   Yes but you need a bunch of money to start there.

   Rax idea is 3 years old but the first pairs were fabricated in Autumn 2008.
   The technology was further developing until April 2009.
   That means: Rax ski as a commercial product is 1 to 2 months old.   

3) In summer 2008 we were not sure whether we should start any manufacturing.
    At that time all Rax skis were sawed from old skis and equipped with metal fins.
    Now we have 7 forms at 2 ski factories and 2 smaller snowboard producers,
    all in CZ. 6 forms for wood-core sandwich (mostly cap), 1 is for foam injection.
   
    For Rax extensions (metal fins and carrier) 4 different technologies are availale:
    - individual fins are screwed to a separate carrier
    - aluminium casting
    - bent sandwich panel (aluminium or steel)
    - bent, milled and bolted together
    All in CZ.

   The best way to choose a Rax model for you and the terrain you prefer
   is to test them on this terrain. You can try 4+ different models within few hours.
   Then you simply buy the best for you, prices starting at 120 Euro per pair with binding.
   If you decide that a non-standard prototype is the best, you get it even cheaper.
       
  Any profit up to now?
  Hahaha, what an unusual question!
  We have been spending money all the time
  but developing the technology in Eastern Europe was much less expensive.
  No credits were necessary.

4) This is no joke, we are all committed
     to change the skiing.
