speed

My friend told me that all skis have brakes - I want to ski fast so how can I turn them off?

Mine are controlled remotely from the ski-pole handle. Are not all skis the same?????????????? Look for the red and green buttons!!!!!!!!!!!!

No no, the red button deploys the miniature parachutes from the back of the skis Razz

I find that if you are prepared to pay 30 lev , the bulgarians will turn a blind eye and take them off for you. Though you will only be allowed to go backwards down black runs , this should not reduce your speed too much.

I have had my brakes completely removed. I just use boarders to help me stop now! Very Happy
