TheFlo

Patented Hydrodynamic Dampening and Stabilization System.

The heart of the high performance system of FloSkis is "TheFlo". It consists of a soft urethane rubber enclosure containing a mixture of synthetic oil, nickel plated lead shot and a chamber of air. It can be installed on the front section of any ski or snowboard. Simple in nature but very technical in the dynamics of it's performance at speed. In laymen's terms, it physically acts much like a heavy water baloon filled with mercury. No matter how fast and how hard it hits an obstacle it will not bounce. Absolutely no rebound energy, chatter or vibrations is delivered to the skis or snowboard. No matter how fast the skier or rider travels, no matter how hard and bumpy the snow conditions the skis or snowboard will remain in perfect contact with the snow at all times. In terms of real performance benefits, first it keeps the entire length of the edges in full length contact with the snow at all times. This gives the feeling that the skis or snowboard are much longer because the edges hold like longer stiffer skis or snowboard. In addition, the skis or snowboard will initiate turns quicker with much less effort because the total effective side cut is much greater. When the edges are in better contact from tip to tail the skis or snowboard can initiate turns quicker and carve harder. Second, because the skis and snowboard rides so much smoother than other skis and boards and feels more stable, shorter length skis or board can be used.

As proof to the performance of "TheFlo", it has been used on racing skis and snowboards to break two world records in speed skiing and snowboard racing plus many other medals in World Cup and professional racing. They are FIS race legal however most ski and snowboard sponsors disalow there use.
