How to choose skis?

Consider the "three-dimensional shape" when choosing a snowboard. Three degrees: length, width and hardness; Two shapes: plate and arch.

I. Length (length)

Generally speaking, the shorter the snowboard, the more flexible it is, which is suitable for freestyle. The longer the snowboard, the more stable it is, which is suitable for high-speed skiing. Stand up the board, and the length obtained by subtracting the height from the snowboard is suitable for different environments:

15cm-20cm is suitable for snow trails;

10cm- 15cm is suitable for outside the snowy road;

15cm-25cm is suitable for parks/snow trails;

20cm-25cm is suitable for parks;

By comparing the above data, we can easily choose our own snowboard.

Tip: According to the weight and play, you can float 3cm up and down. Players who are overweight and prefer to slide can appropriately increase the board length, while skiers who are lighter and prefer fancy can appropriately reduce the board length. For expert skiers, it is recommended to have both long boards and short boards.

Second, the WIDTH (width)

Width is divided into: head width, tail width and waist width.

The choice of snowboard is mainly based on the width of waist, and the snowboard with narrow waist is flexible and easy for beginners to control. Waist-wide snowboards can gain greater buoyancy on snow and maintain stability at high speed.

How to determine the waist circumference, here's how to teach you:

1. Put the skis flat on the ground.

2. Put on your shoes and fix the fixer.

3. Make a gesture when sliding to determine whether the toe and heel parts are too wide from the board. (If it is wider, it can be ignored)

Third, the hardness (FLEX)

1. According to the gameplay, the harder the board is, the more stable it is at high speed, which is suitable for sliding. The softer the board, the more flexible the control, suitable for playing fancy.

2. The choice of hardness is related to body weight. People of the same height, the heavier the weight, the harder the board and the lighter the board.

3. Generally, the parameters of the plate will include the hardness label with the number 1- 10. The smaller the number, the softer it is, and the bigger the number, the harder it is. Or, you can hold the board with one hand and press the middle of the snowboard with the other hand to experience the hardness of the board.

Step 4 shape

It mainly refers to the shape and length of the head and tail of the board, which is mainly divided into orientation and twins.

Directionality: the head and tail are shorter, and the longer plate head provides better buffer, good stability and is suitable for sliding. Suitable for entering and leaving the snowy road.

Twins: the head and tail are symmetrical, and the center of gravity is in the middle when rotating, which is suitable for flat fancy. Suitable for parks.

V. Arch (Arch)

Arches are usually divided into positive arches, reverse arches and mixed arches.

Curvature: When lying flat, the head and tail touch the ground and the center leaves the ground. The performance is the best when turning, and the stability and resilience of road sliding are the greatest. The most traditional arch, recommended by novices.

Rocker: When lying flat, the center touches the ground and the head and tail leave the ground. It's faster and easier for the wrench to turn, and it's easier to control the snowboard. Floating in the snow can easily maintain high speed.

Mixed arch: compromise between front arch and rear arch, sacrificing pertinence for higher versatility.

Extended data:

Skiing snowboarding is the youngest winter sports equipment, which is welcomed by more and more people all over the world. The structure and sliding conditions of snowboarding are similar to skiing, but the play and equipment are different. Snowboards are generally divided into three categories:

1, race: the top part of the board is slightly inclined downward, and the board is narrow, especially at the waist. It basically only slides on the snowy road, which is suitable for turning and racing.

2.FREERIDE: Volkswagen multifunctional all-around board, which can not only slide on snowy roads, but also slide on deep snow. The front and rear ends of the board are tilted upward, but the direction is still very clear.

3, freestyle: freestyle board, used for jumping, spinning and other skills snowboarding.
