![]() ![]() That’s generally more difficult, esp for smaller hands.ĭon’t know about that. You use it edge up like the Swix Evo or Toko. It’s also different knowing you don’t depend on a machine. It’s hard to say whether learning hand tuning is easier, prob not, but you do get fundamental knowledge and skill. You’re likely better off with a battery Razor tune. How old? Is she experienced with hand tools or power tools? All those machines are big. How old is your daughter? Is she experienced with hand tools or power tools? All those machines are big. Likely you could get your own 120V 60hz power supply, the motor is probably 12V or 24. That’s a significant disadvantage, not an advantage. Then you’ll spend significant time just dealing with a machine no one else has. I would run the other way, or go to Italy and try to get one. Maybe or Toni knows the status of this Ratte machine. I'd greatly appreciate any feedback on these units and if anyone has experience or info on the Ratte and can either set me straight I'd be eternally greatful! This ski tuning business is interesting, many seem to guard their secrets in the race realm and don't want to give too much info. I've looked at Snowglide which looks awesome and has great US presence and support but I want this to be something my daughter will learn to use and can travel with for race prep, the downside of the Snowglide appears to be the dust generation so I'm curious about the Ratte machines which have dust collection and while there are a couple posts about them I can find very little information online about them. I want world cup quality and don't want to sound pompous but I'm willing to pay for the best. The first purchase I'm targeting is an edge tuning machine. ![]() I want to get the best possible gear starting out and just master it. I've always wanted to tune my own skis and my family's so excited to go on this journey. The Ski~Mojo acts as shock-absorbers, taking up to 30% of the strain off and therefore protecting the joints and offering skiing injury prevention.I'm new to the world of ski tuning and thanks to my racer daughter am diving in head first. Also, your knee cartilage and ligaments take a pounding when skiing. As a result you can ski longer and harder which increases your heart rate (within the Target Zone) which burns more calories thus helping burn fat faster and helping the heart to become fitter. Using the Ski~Mojo reduces the work that your thigh muscles have to do by around 33% and this is usually more than enough to keep you out of the “Anaerobic Zone” and in the “Target Zone”. This is generally what happens when we ski. Anything higher and you will be getting into the “Anaerobic Zone” which means you will be producing a lot of lactic acid in your muscles and you will tire very quickly. When you exercise you should try to keep your Heart Rate in the “Target Zone”, 65%-85% of your maximum. We overwork our thigh muscles in relation to the rest of our body when skiing, so it is usually the thigh muscles that limit the amount of skiing we can do. It is this build up of Lactic Acid which causes “thigh burn” while skiing and stiff legs the next day. When we overwork our muscles they produce more Lactic Acid than they can cope with. In fact you will probably build them up even more, as overall you will use them a lot more, just at a lower, safer work-level. The most relevant anecdotal evidence is that we have not heard of a single injury (other than normal bumps and bruises) sustained by a Ski~Mojo user other than in circumstances where they fell that the injury would have been worse if they had not been wearing their Ski~Mojo. The above is based on the anecdotal evidence of several Ski~Mojo users. We cannot make any claims that the Ski~Mojo is impact safety equipment. If you were not wearing the Ski~Mojo, then any impact would be felt directly on the side of your leg. It will spread the impact down the length of the Ski~Mojo which has the effect of cushioning any impact you receive. If you fall or are hit by another skier/boarder from the side then the Ski~Mojo will take the majority of the impact rather than your leg. There is a layer of Neoprene between your leg and the rod, which can usually be folded over and “doubled-up” you may wish to add additional padding to fit between these rods and your legs to further help reduce the risk of bruising. if you fall on the end of the upper telescopic rod, it may cause bruising (in the same way as if you fell on your keys if you had them in your pocket. However, under certain circumstances: e.g. As the Ski~Mojo runs down the side of your leg it works as side impact protection bars, just like those on a car and will often reduce the affect of any impact. Falling while wearing the Ski~Mojo is usually no different than if you fell without one. ![]()
