I just aquired a pair of Trick Air skis for my MX-7 from my good friend who manufactures them.... Now my quest is for tips, info, etc on ski flying. Any input would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

my tip to you is to get out and play with them. see what they can do.
i would like to see pictures and know how they perform in different conditions.


one bit of advice: always drag a lake before you land it, and if your tracks turn black- don't go back!


keep us posted. it is looking like a good snow year for everyone this year.

Have you been here http://www.treetopflyers.org ?

If you are going out to play even if it is not remote and you get stuck or worse it can be a life or death situation if you are not prepared. Have good survival gear with you, tell someone where you are going, keep snow skis with you for travel or stamping out a firm path in deep snow, sat phone is good. With skis things can look all good until it is to late and then it can be a lot of hard work. If you have ever been snowmobiling and got one stuck you know how much work it is when you are alone to get one unstuck by yourself, now think about how much more it will be with something 3-4 times as heavy. If you have a buddy with an airplane on skis that is ideal, go play together.

Msanger, have you had a chance to try out your new Trick Air skis yet ?
Would like to hear more about them if you have? Thinking about a set myself.
Thanks JD

Watch out for flat light! And post lots of pictures. Wish I had my skis on...
