Over the years, I've radared maggots at more than 60MPH riding everything from XXX's to Atomic BetaRides.
Heck, we even clocked Rotney at 76MPH one fine morning on Pocket Rockets.
What have been your most stable skis at highway speeds?

Without a doubt 190 Pow +.
Ford F-150
Rossignol B-Squad.... hang on to yer hat!
188 Volkl Ax4s is the one Ive felt most comfortable haulin ass with.
But my Mantras is not that bad either. Been hammering downhill slopes this weekend going scary fast, and I felt confident in them :)
for me probably fujatives.....
in reality my 185 scratch bc's feel really good
jayfrizzo's mom. :cool:
188 g4s. damn i miss those skis.
190 Igneous FFF
They feel more and more stable the faster you go.
Bro 188 Supa Stiff, took em out for a run 2 days ago. The schooled my arse at slow speeds, but putting 2 arcs where everyone else was puting 20-30 was sure fun.
ANTs and don't forget Yeti (I think) at last years radar shoot at 70+ on spats!
#1-Igneous SMF 195
#2-Rossignol Axiom 183
190 volkl exploder
190 w105/9.1ff
195 db surreal flex 3
spatula
bro stiffs are pretty happy at speed. m103's can handle a good clip as well.
nothing likes speed like my 215 elan super g skis
193 iM 103s...I'm still trying to get them up to an unsafe speed...so far no luck
ya I agree. they are very stable regardless of the snow. what flex are your's at coolstine? 240 for me.Quote:

I had those skis and they kicked ass. The only skis I've had that were more stable were my 225cm Atomic DH boards. They wouldn't even turn below 40mph or so.Quote:

I'll presume the Blizzard Titan Pro is quite high on the list as well...
Alas the local molehills ain't excactly the best place to test skis for topspeeds or stability at speed :shrugs:.
or 201 Astroid'sQuote:

Not sure where Endless got his, but Bushnell makes one that you can find for $50-80 on ebay and other places. At a Radio Shack going out of business sale in SLC, they were going for $29.95. Got there too late to get mine though.Quote:

The original superstiff brototype.
When I tried them they felt like a smooth high-speed bullet train ride.
BC's??? good for you man:eek:Quote:

The both of these make ANTS feel like wet noodles.
We used to ski on 223 downhill boards too, those are fun.
Chuck Norris can ride snowlerblades like they were explosives. But he never skis snowlerblades because then he would have to roundhouse kick himself in the face.Quote:

Big Bros are my 2nd. If they're not all torn up and can still be tuned to do it I'd like to try 'em for radar day.
190 xploders
189 Nitro carving board.
I like my Bandits at high speed. But that's all I have.
183 Sugar Daddies...cause I have no HUGE skis YET.

There is a great video of him sitting on the pontoon of ski plane as it lands while he causally steps off and skis away at 80 mph. and then does the same thing in reverse at the end of the movie and flys away. Like I said, they have no speed limit. If you want to ski crud at 50 mph these are the tool for the job.
It's a Bushnell. I bought it a few years ago for the express purpose of finding out just how fast some of us were skiing.Quote:

This year will be the 5th anniversary of the event.
It's amazing how easily one can reach 60+ MPH with the right conditions and skis.
195 FGS's
edit: 270 flex (Z?)
heh...yeah perot totally rips http://images.google.com/images?q=tb...40/perot2.JPEGQuote:

190 pow + (now robokills) - beat you up at less than mach looney
190 FFF #240 (now safety squad) turnable at low speed, but i never got them going too fast...
200 FFL #260 (now gamma) - most stable ski ever. litteally a super g ski fat ski
195 FGS #270 (now good4nothing) - mid fat super g ski
I concur--I demoed a pair in 2000 in La Grave and immediately bought them. I still have a mint pair of the more manageable 198s if anyone's interested. Funny how these used to be considered mid-fats...Quote:
