BIGshort
BIGshort is a complete series of flexible and marked cut out skis for carving lessons.
None of world producers advertise anything like that.
Giraffe 70cm/1,5m for little children already from the age of 3. The only functioning way how to teach carving children up to the age of 8. Moreover quickly, joyfully, without stress and WITHOUT SKI SCHOOL! Giraffe are the only skis that are possible to be bent by child. It was successfully tested during child carving training courses “Children without snowplowing“.
For children from the age of 8 are BIGshort IN-LINE 90cm/3m – the adult who is afraid of speed can use it too. The Skis are going to perform like real In-Line skates and enable to carve without skipping by typical in-line style. Thus, the upper age of using of In-Line is not limited.
Basic and mostly used training skis for adults are BIGshort Gorilla and Maya 110cm/4,5m (they differ only in design). These skis are suitable for children older than 10 years and with body weight more than 30 kg.
Universally selected parameters allowing instruction of children from ten years old to guys with hundred body weight! Gorilla a Maya proved to be the best skis for permanent use of many carving ladies. Carving crash courses CARV.CZ are running using these carving skis, it means their effectiveness is adequatelly and long-tested. It really is an optimal tool for teaching the majority of the population. No Ski School is needed for instruction how to carve BIGshort – you will lose time with the standard procedure!
Faster and heavier skiers will appreciate the second stage - a slightly greater length and radius - BIGshort TEQUILA 125cm/5,5m, designed for continuous use and improvement of carving techniques.
What is BIGshort?
There were common, low-cut and rigid "one meter length skis" used as the best way of teaching carving, now it seems to be history. It was just a developmental stage for much more complete solution – it is BIGshort. Skis designed solely to cut the curve, most of which belong to the straight, hard slopes, are paradoxically the most applicable to the crowded, soft, plowed, narrow hills.
A carving beginner is weaving
among other victims in such terrain after a few runs, at minimum mastery of
technique, with certainty. He is using the carving as a surfer in the waves.
A broad tip is still floating on the surface and the narrow body of the ski is
reliably cutting into the soft slush as short as longer curves. Lightness of
cutting excels at steeper slopes.
This miracle enable every beginner who has never stood on the skis to cut
from the first curve, already in children's speed and without an instructor!
The similarity to snowblade? No!
Marking “the extreme radius” was given a new dimension. If 13-meter
funcarvers and later everything below 10 meters was marked like this, now “the
extreme radius” is 3 meters!
