NOTE: FLOSKIS HAS NEVER HAD A BAD REVIEW OR DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER.
TECHNOLOGY ADDS THRILL TO THE MOUNTAIN:
The question is: How can a 150 cm ski carve and track like a 195 cm ski? The answer: It can't. Unless, perhaps, it's a
FloSki. No hype here. I've tried these skis in moguls, on the flats, over knolls, in some crud, at very high speeds, and in
a fast GS race course. They are, in a word, remarkable. I don't think of FloSkis as short skis, but as an engineering feat
packaged in several shortish sizes; I could list the many patented performance features of FloSkis, but I want to tell you
using FloSkis, how quickly it all comes together on the snow. If you've skated, you may find FloSkis are a dreamy way to
ski. If you're a hardcore skier or racer, you may find FloSkis are rather thrilling, particularly when skiing at high speeds
or in moguls. If you're frustrated with your skiing progress, you may find FloSkis aid you in experiencing more of the mountain. Skiing
on FloSkis is playful and exhilarating. Our time on the mountain was full of laughter and adventure. In no time at all, the
accomplished skier will find rebounding, jumping, 360s, backward and artistic skiing are all in his or her repertoire. Intermediate
skiers will find a new kind of on-snow gliding experience, and beginners will get to see more of the mountain earlier in their
skiing. The point is to look at what you want out of an alpine experience, and the options you have in achieving it. I find
the FloSkis adventurous and fun, while snowboarding gives me a connected feeling with the mountain. Skiing, on the other hand,
remains my dance with the mountain.

We spent three fantastic days on the powder slopes at Crested Butte just before Christmas, with me on my new FloSkis.
I reviewed the instructions and the videos at your website carefully. By the end of the three days, I looked pretty much
like that railroad toy in your first video, paralleling down the blue and black runs! In fact, the zippy tune that plays
in the video was going through my head. Yves said I was skiing faster. I certainly felt more confident and stable on the
skis. In addition, I was not stiff and sore after three straight days of skiing as I used to be! Thanks a million for the
great skis!

Skied on typical East Coast hard pack and ice for 4 days . The skis are terrific !! My sons said they had never seen me
ski that well and my legs didn't hurt nearly as much as usual. Glad to do a testimonial for your website.

I have finally got to ski the 150 Floskis and they are great! Despite the alarming lack of a tail, I felt secure and well-balanced.
Particularly in wet slush on my first day and then again in 15 cm of fresh dry powder the next .... that's how it is in NZ.
And they were the subject of endless enquiry and debate .... 'skis with suspension huh?'. Are you able to sell me some 125
cm floskis? Just skis and dampeners, no bindings?

Headed out to try another new ski by long-time ski design innovator Adrian Floreani. These Floskis turn like a sports
car, plough through powder like a truck and are calm on the straightaway. After a few runs, I was handling terrain that I
would never have ventured onto before.

Love the skis. They are not in the same category as other skis. Everything is easier. They combine all the good qualities
of long and short skis. They track great at high speeds. No chatter. Turn initiation is very quick. Tracking in the turns
is great. The edges hold better and the skis feels more stable than other skis. The full suspension riser makes carving turns
and holding the ski on edge much easier. I have found the ski responds best to almost equal weight on both skis. Using both
edges improves performance to amazing levels. The dampening of vibration makes this technique possible. Your skis are the
future. If there is anything I can do to help you just let me know. When I tell people how great the skis are they just give
me the look. The "yet another ski innovation look." At the end of the season let me know if any used FloSkis are
available.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for introducing me to your remarkable snow ski. When I first met you
skiing and saw your product I must confess that I was highly suspect to your claims of just how great your skis were. However,
after skiing on them it as completely changed my enjoyment level and opened up new experiences beyond my expectations. This
last season I had lost my excitement and interest in skiing and was only skiing approximately three times a season with my
wife and two daughters. My skiing was limited to intermediate slopes, never venturing off machine groomed hills. Now your
skis have turned me into a maniac for tree and crud skiing. Friends were so impressed with how well and adventuresome my skiing
has become that they in turn purchased twelve sets of skis. Thank you very much. Here's wishing you much success with this
fabulous product.

Martin Harris, Professional Ski Instructor, Mammoth Mountain Ski School
I felt privileged to be the first ski instructor at Mammoth Mountain to teach private lessons on the FloSkis. Mammoth
Mountain Ski School became No 1 nationally because of their devotion to doing whatever it takes to bring the student to their
next level successfully, and making it fun so that they eagerly want to return with their friends. The major problem that
stops students from reaching their potential is their own fear: I have observed that the FloSkis skis have helped the hesitant
student step out into their dreams and "GO FOR IT." With the FloSkis I have seen the personal victory from "A"
students to seasoned experts. Why do they work? They're short and fat with a deep side cut and the binding is located more
toward the rear. This makes them turn when you step on them. The extra width floats throughout powder, plus the binding further
back lets them rise like a 185 cm fat ski. They are like an all terrain ski. I've found the worse the conditions the better
they let you perform, such as bombing down "mashed potato" in a moguled field or a water skiing type feel through
the trees in some late afternoon virgin breakable crust. Not something we'd normally leap into on standard skis. At ski school,
we spend most of our teaching time getting skiers to stay upright and forward, standing over the sweep spot in the middle
of the skis. Getting the skis to carve, I find the FloSkis force the skier to do just that. In fact, I have found they helped
me improve my own skiing skills. After using the FloSkis, I find my skiing much more aggressive and adventuresome. I personally
have felt the FloSkis definitely gave me more confidence in very challenging conditions. Even my supervisor and other instructors
noticed my more aggressive and smoother style. Yes, they're a teaching aid, an enhancer, but also a fun ski to open up the
entire hill. I've taken average intermediate skiers down the steepest chutes, something they clearly would never do without
help. They build confidence, the inner smile and believe me they come back hungry for more. I see the FloSkis as a real benefit
to the ever increasing terminal intermediate group or the retirees and older skiers not prepared to hang up their quest for
exercise and challenge. FloSkis are very controllable in bad conditions and the spring crud that deters less aggressive skiers.
FloSkis can literally be a vehicle to extend the season right up to the end, benefitting both the skier and the ski hill.
As an example, this last season a lady in her 70's insisted on trying them out in virgin wet crud. We carved "freshies"
in the pouring rain through snow that our U.S. Demo Team Supervisor described as nothing less than dangerous. What's good
for your is what works for you. So try them. They worked for me!
Martin Harris Mammoth ski school instructor
To Jack Copeland Director Mammoth Mt Ski School
Martin Harris from your school had shown me the safety advantages of FloSkis. I had sustained a knee injury while skiing.
Therefore the propounded safety of the ski immediately interested me. Also since my skiing ability would be classed by Martin
as "terminal intermediate" I was intrigued by the described stability and ease of control of the ski. I arranged
for a two-hour private lesson on the FloSkis with Martin Harris. I found myself quickly adapting to the skis and I was soon
skiing beyond my perceived ability with ease and little fear. I found that attention to proper technique and form was made
much easier by the performance and stability of these skis. About half-way through the lesson I skied Spook, which I would
have tried on my other skis. I want to compliment the Mammoth Mountain Ski School on making these innovative skis available
for trial. It would seem to me that every level of skier could quickly and easily improve and sharpen their skills on these
skis.
Sincerely, Chuck
