VOLKI TIGERSHARK 10

Volki Tigershark 10 Power Foot Switch

This article is a review on the Volki Tigershark 10 power foot switch skis and will include important information about them –including its usability and dimensions.


If you’re looking for a ski model that will raise the bar, Volki Tigershark 10 skis are just for you. These skis are for those who enjoying skiing fast on moderate to light snow. The foot switch is the newest in ski technology. All one has to do is turn the knob on the skis and you can adjust the type of ride you desire.


Note the more looser the knob is, the faster the ride and the tighter the knob, the smoother the ride. Personally, I done recommend riding with loose knobs to novice skiers, as they will have a hard time controlling the balance and the speed of the skis. However, for intermediate and expert skiers, this should be ok.


The great part about these skis is as the terrain changes, so can how you ski. The skis come in different sizes: the 10-foot and the 12-foot skis and the dimensions for each skis (sixe/radius) are: 161/12.9, 168/14.3, 175/15.8, and182/17.3.


The sidecut for the Tigershark 10 model is 121-73-105. So, if you like to change the pace of your skis, during your ride, you should choose the Tigershark 10 model

NORDICA OLYMPIA VICTORY REVIEW

Nordica Olympia Victory Review

The Olympic Victory is the newest edition, in the family of Nordica ski equipments. This model is similar to its sister version, the Olympia Speed, but is wider than that version. The good thing about this ski board is it does have a wide frame, but it takes a bit more effort to ride – particularly on very icy snow.


For east-to-west skiers, this board is a very good choice. For eastern skiers, though, that want quicker turns and shorter rides that board will give you, the Speed will be better for you.


I would recommend this board to pro skiers, who will enjoy the easy cuts and turns through moderate snow, but not for novice skiers – as it will be harder to control the speed and turns of the skis. Women skiers will enjoy using these ski as well (they come in ladies’ sizes as well.)


The dimensions of the Olympia Victory skis are (size/radius): 146/12, 154/12.6, 162/14.2, 170/15.8, and 178/17.6. The sidecut is 116-74-104. According to the ski’s manufacturer, this are great skis to have, for the ultimate ski boarding experience.
