jpsaenz Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 i am looking forward the best slalom ski for a man 56 year old 190 lb 5,8 ft. He skied a lot when he was young, slalom and everything/34 mph.. Now since 3 years ago he returned to try again but he is out of training and with a little bit overweight.. He star with 2 ski and you can guess no problem. Of course that he felt that he needs to slalom again but the problem came when he tried get out of the water with a slalom ski. He tried with diferent types norrow and wider but no way. Obviously he knows the technique because he did several time when he was young but now it's impossible for him. The thing that i would like to as if there is any kind of slalom ski that definitly help for this kind of person... I hope that you can help me with this. "He" is my father. He taught me everything a few years ago and know i am very fun of slaloms and speed! but it is sad to see that your father cant do it and knowing that he loves too. Any comment guys?

Baller BraceMaker Posted February 6, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'm considering buying one of those odd Radar Satori or HO Freeride - both are sort of in the same vein with different approaches. So these are supposed to be fun carving skis with a different feel, they should be easier to get up on for him, fun for people to have, and if you get the muscle memory back you can get up on the narrower comp style ski later.

allycat Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 try a big ski like a connelly outlaw worked for me anyway or cheat and just drop a ski saves a lot of energy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Obermeier Posted February 7, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thought of trying an easy up rope? i.e. http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Gladiator-Slalom-Trainer-Ski-Rope&i=44426&aID=600B1&merchID=4006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h2odawg79 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I 2nd a Radar P6 or a Theory AND I 2nd the EZ up handle. This Handle alone is a total game changer for both confidence and Energy level. Get them up while they still got the energy to Ski... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
