Yeah, the red bindings at the front really clash colour wise with the yellow ones at the back...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Do they wear them together or one foot in front of the other or is that some clever photo editing ?

As Alan spotted, these two hold the tandem world record at Les Arcs in the Flying K - 191 kph...

PG, the Tandem World Record? You mean there are more than these two guys who do it? What sort of crazy speeds would the weight of two guys acheive on a single pair of skis?

Wear The Fox Hat, not sure about yellow bindings, but if I was on the back of those things I'd certainly leave a trail of yellow snow!

Doing a kick turn on tandem skis involves sex (check Kama Sutra p.97), so the sexual orientation (sic) of your partner may be a consideration.

You know it makes sense.

Turn the second pair of bindings around and you'd have a big advantage when doing 180s.

In the unlikely event that no one's tried it, you could get three sets of bindings and establish another record!

Are you sure that the skis are long?. They could be dwarfs.
Would look very impressive if dressed as a pantomime horse

The guy in the rear must have a "pre-race menu veto" clause written into the contract.
