Madshus And GoreWear Announce Cooperation. Why Is It Important For You, Me & Everyone Else

[caption id="attachment_10147" align="aligncenter" width="1920"] XCSkiing. It makes one happy [/caption]...It's the fact of life that there is far less money in cross country skiing than in, say, trail running or mountain biking. Sheer strength is in numbers of active participants/fans. The numbers that translate into money for cutting-edge technological research. And money needed for that modern-day marketing without which nothing quite works. Cross country skiing as a sport has two distinct paths: adopt to the modern world – or slowly fade away and die out. The most logical path out of the dark hole is a synergy. As in “ joining forces in research, marketing, promotion etc." Here's what we believe is the first true step in that direction – and a big one too. Welcome to the unveiling-of-cooperation event…

Hans Hubinger , Legendary Designer Of Fischer Skis, Recommends

Gear News, Leaders, Newsfeed

Hans Hubinger is a legend. The only reason he's not a household name compared to, say, Marit Bjorgen or Dario Cologna, is the fact that in skiing names of equipment designers are not very well published & advertized. Something to learn from Formula 1 here, really. Anyway, we are here to fill that gap. Here's Hans' ( very abridged) resume: - Bridge-building engineer by training, has joined Fischer Sports in 1986. Yes, folks – that's 32 years ago! - Had participated in pretty much every Fischer skis' development & design including such masterpieces ahead of its time as Fischer Revolution of 1990s - Originator and chief designer of Speedmax and its Cold Base Bonding technology. BTW, Bjorgen and Cologna mentioned above won most their golds on Speedmaxes. [caption id="attachment_9222" align="aligncenter"…

Andreas Bennert On His One Way Past, 4KAAD Future & Everything In Between

Gear News, Leaders, Newsfeed

The great sport of cross country skiing is suffering from the lack of personalization. No, the names of great athletes are known & are being talked about. But who are the people who make it all happen, who run the show? Industrialists and equipment designers, coaches and doctors, waxers and competition officials? Very little info is available and interviews with them are even rarer - we dare you to prove the opposite. On our part, we strongly argue that in this century everything is personal and reflects beliefs and ideas of specific people. And yes, it needs to be a public knowledge. Right, Elon Musk? ... Today we introduce the man who for ( almost) 15 years often went against the grain, the man who's impact on the winter sports…

Fischer. Birth Of Speedmax

Gear News, Leaders, Newsfeed

Let's start with an obvious: Fischer Sports is company that plays in the league of its own when it comes to cross country skiing. It is clearly the largest ( even if the company refuses to divulge production figures and revenue size) ski manufacturer in the world. In ski racing the Fischer mettle has been proven time and again. At the Olympics -2018 in PyeongChang 14 golden medals were won on Fischer skis - while the rest of the producers' accounted for 6 golds – put together. Fair to say that all – or nearly all – of those medals were won on Speedmax skis, the Fischer's crown effort in the racing department.
