drag lifts - hate 'em

undignified is what they are....

re: drag lifts

do what it says, let it drag you as daniel says donmt sit down and let your knees act like shock absorbers, at the end, pull it from inbetween your legs (sounds like a carry on film) get a firm grip and pull the shaft down (i'm at it again) this will get you a bit of extra spped to get away from the drag.

Good luck and if all fails laugh

Avoid them whatever you do they are awful specially on a board.

Been to Borovets this christmas and the drag lifts at the top of the gondola are the drag lifts from hell!They set off 10 times faster than normal drag lifts and saw person after person fall off so beware!!Hahaxxxx

re: drag lifts

be careful of a few up the gondola in Borovets they don't half pull you at the beginning you fly off them, its a bit of a shock the first time you go on them, wish someone had warned me its the guys I felt sorry for if you get my meaning
