The below video shows a working mechanical model of the mechanical principles of FloSkis. The binding is located totally behind the center of the side cut. This is combined with a very small radius sidecut to produce carved turns with only the use of gravity. The skier only needs to provide balance. FloSkis are the most efficient skis in the world and with the patented liquid dampening system, the most stable.

World's Master Downhill Champion demonstrates the advantages of the FloSkis technology.

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 is installed on the front section of the ski with special strong built in inserts. 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. No matter how fast and how hard it hits an obstacle it will not bounce. Absolutely no rebound energy is delivered to the ski. No matter how fast the skier travels, no matter how hard and bumpy the snow conditions the FloSkis 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 ski is much longer because the edges hold like long racing skis. In addition, TheFlo skis initiates 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 FloSkis can initiate turns quicker and carve harder. Second, because FloSkis rides so much smoother than other skis and feels stable like downhill racing skis, that FloSkis have given a whole new meaning of what a short ski can do. With a much shorter ski as stable as a much longer racing ski the skier can experience new levels in ability never possible with so call "High performance standard length skis".

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.

TheFloRiser

FloSkis full suspension riser binding system allows the ski to flex unrestricted despite the ski boot. It guarantees a complete free flex of the ski. Other binding systems have less or no grip in this section and are more difficult to turn and control.
The FloRiser system completely neutralizes any negative forces exerted by the boot and binding on the ski. Virtually all the skiers power can be transfered to the ski. Thanks to the uniform edge contact, edge grip increases. Better edge grip means more safety on the skis and the skier conserves more energy. This translates to more time on the snow before tiring. Skiers can push themselves to higher levels of skiing more effectively. The skis are easier to turn and control because they carve on the snow with more precision. The skis react more sensitively to the skier's control moves and the the skier has greater precision in every phase of the turn.

The increased height above the snow gives the skier more leverage to hold his skis on edge. This provides greater holding power with less skier energy. It also allows for greater ski angles to the snow without "boot out". This provides much better and safer edge control on the sides of large moguls and steeper slopes. The superior edge grip and edging for the first time gives skiers the exciting sensation of pure carved turns with developing increased "G" forces like downhill racers.

Multiple Binding Positions

The FloRiser is mounted to the ski with only four 6 mm screws using standard snow board inserts built into the ski. The binding and riser can be moved quickly with only a small allen wrench to several choices of position on the ski as shown as well as canted to meet the needs of every skier.

THROUGH THE LISTED PATENTED TECHNOLOGY, FloSkis HAVE THE WIDEST PERFORMANCE RANGE AND VERSATILITY OF ANY SKI AVAILABLE TODAY!

A breakthrough in the world's first true high performance - all mountain, all terain, all snow conditions ski. FloSkis are designed to meet the demands of both the expert and the constantly challenged intermediate skiers, regardless of age, sex or weight in all conditions including powder skiing, mogul skiing, icy hard pack, competition carving, terrain park, as well as slalom and giant slalom racing.

FloSkis were designed and patented by Adrian Floreani, a former aerospace engineer and current ski instructor. It has been a long effort over many years of improved development resulting in today, the best all-around high performance skis available on the market.

FloSkis, by design, will greatly improve any skier's performance and ability in any conditions and on any terrain. Because FloSkis are much more efficient, they reduce stresses to the legs and knees. This results in providing the skier with much greater control, and endurance than current ski technology. In addition, FloSkis provide the challenged skier a much shorter learning curve to improve his skills in order to achieve expert level skiing in all categories.

The more difficult the conditions or terrain the greater the notably easier performance difference from conventional skis. This is especially true by FloSki's effortless control in ungroomed snow, powder, heavy crud, moguls or tree skiing. These conditions are now possible to enjoy (with FloSkis) by all skiers.

All these performance and control advantages are achieved while providing greater stability and holding power than current technology skis at any speed including slalom and giant slalom racing and on any terrain or on any snow conditions.

FloSkis
The Total Package

All the technology listed above allow the ski designer to explore new territories never even considered or possible in the past.

The most important of which is the much shorter tail or placing the binding much further back on the ski. Without "TheFlo" this would not be possible because the front of the ski would leave the surface of the snow every time the ski would hit the smallest bump. In addition, without the full suspension FloRiser the short tail would lose grip and skid on any hard snow surface. But with the technology of FloSkis the short tail feels and performs even better than much longer skis with much longer tails.

The performance and safety benefits of the short tail are many but perhaps the most notable is the performance of FloSkis in crud, powder and moguls. (See the "Powder", "Wind Pack" and "Double Diamond" video clips.) FloSkis take much less effort, energy and skill to ski these conditions compared to current technology skis. The tails do not get caught in the bumps, crud or powder so the skier does not have to lift them near as much to turn.

In powder, the tips stay up automatically using a normal, well balanced, centered stance. This is possible because the center of the skier's weight is back on the ski which in turn, forces the tips up. This angle also gives the FloSkis much more lift in powder than much longer standard powder skis. This is the same principle that allows an airplane to take off.

Perhaps the most important benefit of the shorter tail of FloSkis is the fact that it greatly reduces the turning forces on the skiers knees. It is even believed to reduce the chances of skiers suffering an ACL injury. (See the ACL page on this web site.)

Other design features now possible and incorporated into FloSkis technology include linear deep stone ground groves in the bases and sharper 65 degree edges. Deep linear grooved bases are faster, they hold more wax and give the ski much more directional stability. The 65 degree edges greatly increases the holding power on ice compared to 85 or 90 degree edges of traditional skis. These performance feature are not possible on other skis because they would prevent the skis from entering turns smoothly and produce an unstable catchy feeling.

FLoSkis are constructed using light and strong hardwood all bamboo core and double layers of cross linked fiberglass. These features are expensive but they give the skis unparalleled rebound energy , strength and durability surpassing much more expensive skis.

We guarantee using FloSkis this season will maximize your skiing fun, expand the terrain you ski, advance your abilities to a new level you only dreamed, ski many more hours without tiring and greatly increases your control and safety at all times.
