Do you think it's possible to hit 70mph on a pair of midfats? Hmmm? Do you? Why or why not? Let's hear it smartypants.

I don't know about midfats but both Lumpy and Spats have clocked 70mph on skis with 90mm+ waists. I've clocked well over 70mph on a pair of Motherships and Brownmonkey has done likewise on a pair of AK Enemies. Why do you choose not to believe and instead rely on some dumb heuristic reasoning?

I stirred up this same shit storm earlier this year by using a gps and posting speeds. I'll stand by it, if you put it in a car and watch the speedom. it matches number for number, speeding up slowing down, whatever.
And yeah ice, it snowed, and it was niiiiice this am, got real heavy, real quick. And once it got tracked it wasn't much fun.

You don't want to be standing with your head sticking out of the moonroof at those speeds. Lordy, no.

God... think of the consequenses. 415mph is totally doable though.

Double posting takes on a whole new meaning.

Only if you have a low-profile head.

Somebody say something funny.

Simple. Just put it up on blocks.

Oh, honey, Roo and I just LOVE to share!

It's a whole evenings entertainment for me watching him rip the piss out of some pea brain. I need to get out more.

Is that where the sticky tape that you are so handy with comes into play?

Perhaps I don't really want to know.

Yeah, everyone knows you don't use a capital letter after a semicolon.

I was skiing with a GPS a couple weeks ago and hit 55 in my first run, before I started trying to go fast. Then my battery died. I definitely believe altachic's speed and i'm pretty sure she could go faster.

edit: spelling for iceman

Thank you sir. And this thread is making me laugh.

I'll take on anyone who doesn't think 80 mph on g4's is doable.

Bring it.

"definately" - so hot right now.

I'll take that challenge, just wait for me to get my new snowblades and a plane ticket to Utah...:cool:

So all I have to do is say I don't think you can do 80 on G4's and you'll...take me on?

dipstik - I've brought this up before too. Look at your signature and tell me what the hell bt spells?


No offense Miss Altachic, but I'm more than a little skeptical about 81 American miles per hour myself. Having recently secured a couple of free passes to the Bird, I just might have to take up this challenge. I don't want to get bitch-slapped along with the rest of you girls.

The skiing was definately (sic) better yesterday.


edit: dipstik erased his signature :rolleyes:

Well if you were going so fast before you even tried, didn't that make you a little skeptical?

I ski fast. If i hadn't turned it on while i was on my way to the mountain that morning, yes i might have had some doubts. On the bus the speed seemed right on though. I trust it.

Not as aerodynamic. However, think of the possibilities of a twin-tipped low profile head.

Who was it that stuck the sheep out of the moonroof at 450mph? Was that a trueice project?

i go out for a couple of hours this afternoon and i come back and there's all of these posts!! roo, sorry for taking the post seriously i don't want to get into an argument...i'm curious to see how accurate a GPS would be, i'm sure AC could hit 80, i'm just saying she must've straightlined a huge face in a tuck to hit that fast, i'm sure it doable, just unlikely in my opinion...i'm sure all you guys are thinking that i never hit 77 in NJ, and i didn't...i went that fast coming off a pitch into a turn at the sugarloaf DH last march at JI/JII finals...and dipstik, i know what you're thinking because i race too so you're not alone...

[Obviously Inflamatory Statement]

Racers suck, and apparantly the psychic ones type alone.

So, now know that if you exceed 55 without a GS suit (or a low-pro tip) your batteries will die. Hit 65 and it's bye-bye toenails. I don't even want to imagine what happens to your body at 75mph.

80+ on mid-fats is pretty difficult, altachic or not.
I still don't know why a GS suit is irresponsible, but dipstik might be right aside from that.

Skiing this fast took place on a groomer day at alta. No offense take Inspector.

Like I say...I'm sure I can clock at least 80 again with the speed gun. For those of you who have skied with me on a groomer day, know i like to haul ass.

Edit: why is it so difficult to go this fast on mid-fats dexter?

last year i was a second year JII, and this year i couldn't go back to finals because of HS lacrosse, so i couldn't make it to any post season USSA or FIS races, during the season i hit up the eastern cup series at Sunday River for FIS but didn't do as well as i had hoped...

It's tough to go that fast on skis that are made for stuff like that. Check out the speeds that DH racers get when they're going straight, and then consider that they've got everything going for them speed-wise: wax, skis, snow, speed-suit...I'm pretty sure I've never hit 80+ even on big race skis. But I never used a GPS or radar gun, so who knows.
I was just pointing out that in this particular instance, dipstik isn't completely living up to his name.

i agree with dex... wax is so crucial, and the speed suit def gives you an extra 5-10mph

It's doesn't feel like you're going that fast. When i looked at it, I was surprised...the dude who's GPS i was using then turned to me and said "holy shit! Ummm, you ski fast." He said that without knowing what my max speed was.

This is doable. We'll have to wait and see come saturday. I am done posting in this thread until we see what speeds we clock.
