Handflexing?

[Anders_N]

So i have bought alpha 1's and they are a good and stabile ski but the tails are a bit to stiff for my taste, and ive noticed that some pros handflex thier new skis... will it make my alphas softer of i flex them?

 

[I_Am_Mod]

handflexing a ski will have zero influence on the actual flex and integrity of the ski, unless ofcourse you flex it too hard and it snaps .....

that is to see what the flex is like not to make them softer.

[reverendwrong]

if by hand flexing you mean just pushing it back and forth a bunch of times...no it wont do shit.

Just ride them, don't be a bitch stiff skis are soooo much nicer to ride, plus they'll soften up eventually

Yeah man just hand flex them for a good 60-70 hours and they should soften up real nice! It's what I always do

I thought you meant stretching your hands before skiing

OP you have no idea what you are talking about. You should have quit while you were relatively ahead instead of trying to say henrik was hand flexing his skis.

You are Either very young or very dumb.
