Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

tomduff456, why on earth would you want to use a bigfoot? Use a proper snowblade/skiboard which is much more stable and much more fun. I think the bigfeet came first - but they're extremely alarming to ski on - wobbleworld isn't in it!!!! (I've done serious slalom training on them so I do know). Shocked Shocked Shocked

Hi, totally agree with easiski, tried them, horrible!
Then tried some Head Big Easy 94's, purchased them immediately, far far superior & with proper releasable bindings.

Ditto to easiski..... if you really want them, ebay is a good spot, however, you would be mad to try them, even if salomons are your only alternative!

beansonline and filarinskis have a few different snow blades for sale. Big foot blades really do look ridiculous. There are different models though, some being slightly (and I use the term lightly) better than others. There was a thread recently on Epicski discussing Big foot skis u should check it out.

I wouldn't buy them. They are fun for a single afternoon of mucking about on the piste, but no more. If you want to try them, see if somewhere will rent them for half a day. The Uli Spiess ski school in Mayrhofen certainly used to, but not sure if they still do.
I do have a set of snowblades though, which are much more fun and have a lot more control. I'd never use them for more than 1 day in a week's skiing.

rcalder, shall we start with out-of-control people who need ski lessons riding small planks which have a reputation for giving people spiral fractures of the tibia?

At least get some proper modern skiboards/blades with proper modern bindings which release.

If you haven't being skiing for years you may find you have huge fun on the new generation of shorter skis in any case.

Welcome to snowHeads btw snowHead

arv, indeed...

 You know it makes sense.
You know it makes sense.
the fact that they dont have proper bindings and safety release did concern me a little! and i cant seem to get hold of any anyways, so i may just get some short snow blades. the appeal of the big feet was that they are the widest (i thort would be easier to balance) and shortest i could find which i think is more suited to my size, being only 5ft 1in, and petite. thankyou for the advice Very Happy

The Bigfeet did come before the Snowblade. Do you remember the Scorpions too, a fat ordinary looking ski that had the tail chopped off right behind the rear binding, from what I was told you had to lean back to slow down. Shocked

Elho colours are cool again. Maybe Bigfeet are too. They would have been great in today's powder... Laughing Laughing Laughing

I have a set of similar-looking (but much different skiing) Floskis. Total eye-opener for anyone who still picks up their ski to turn.

arv, No, I deffo mean Scorpions. I don't know what came first though. The Scorpions were around in about 1982 IIRC

Spyderman, was just taking the p*ss.

Quote:
A new alpine ski emerged on extreme Austrian slopes in 2006.
We were trying to improve the security and the stability of ski turns in Steeps.
The state-of-the-art "jump turn" on traditional long skis seemed too dangerous and unefficient.
Heavy jump landings could trigger an avalanche.

I saw a few posts from the inventor of those monstrosities over on the teton forums. He was not getting much love from the locals. Laughing

yeah I saw that aswell, they shot him down in flames...bang bang!! Hmmm snowblades, yeah I'm personally a big fan, really good fun, sooo stable and you can even ski them in soft snow, amazing! Personally I prefer the Salomon range, the mini-max from the 2005 season I feel is the ultimate blade, oops sorry ski-board. Great fun for perfecting your daffy's off 2 foot kickers whilst wearing your hemet and sunnies...
