I dunno about that. who do you think has gone faster switch? 128 km/h is pretty damned fast. At the hill I normally ski at you can`t even get going that fast with a full race setup.

none of these kids have. if they say they are, they are lying. even pro downhill racers only get up to 80 on the absolute steepest sections of a course, when they are pretty much free falling. i did a few super-g events when i used to race, and the fastest ive ever been clocked was 62. thats with 188 skis, a speed suit, racing helmet, mouth shut, and pole straps taped. i was in the lowest tuck possible down the steepest section of the course, and i was terrified.
may the force be with you.

that's too bad, you must ski on a small hill, I've gone around 70 mph multiple times on my normal setup.

how do I know? the sled I'm keeping up with has a friend and a speedometer.

and I know I've gone faster. and I'm sure if ive gone that fast, others have done so backwards.

At my homemountain, Vars, is where the world championships of speed goes on so we have a nice place to take some speed. Well you can speed check yourself I got at exactly 97kph (i remember that day...)
And I was literally blown away !! Haha in my mind I was like "dude, imagine you fall or something..."

Really great but scary feelings. Couldn't imagine doing that switch !

so you were being towed by a sled? it was probably 70 kph which is something like 40-50mph aka nothing too special

so youre telling me you were bale to hit 70mph on skis, downhill. and somehow your friend was alongside you on a sled doing 70 also. you must have been on a groomed trail.

doing 70 on a sled down a hill is sketchier then skiing down at that speed

and... what the fuck mountain lets someone sled down with a skier right next to them?

racers go up to around 148kph, but thats just on the highspeed sections of a very few races! i did 83kph switch and when i look back i wonder how i cuold even try...

Skiing a ski jump landing forward is pretty fast and a lot of fun but switch is just crazy.
You put on your boots, click into your bindings,
dust the snow off your skis, and head out for the chair, and it doesn't matter

people who think this isn't fast, 128kph switch is pretty damn fast, trust me... most of you guys probably haven't even reached 128kph straight ...
If you were clocked that speed on a highway, anywhere in Canada, you would get a ticket. Folks, its fucking fast....

You know what is really stupid? The Imperial system. Stupid ounces and feet or yards or whatever the fuck it is. Metric system for the win! Show me the grams and metres my logical metric brethren!

Also, that switch straightline was baller. He should have done it in a thong though

That's really fast.

I'd love to find out the fastest I've ever gone.

World Record: Skiing Switch at 80mph

World Record: Skiing Switch at 80mph

Jun 23rd 2012

Anders Backe of Norway set the Guinness World Record for skiing switch (backwards) on February 21st of 2012 at the Vikersund skiflying slope in Norway.  Anders hit 79.97mph skiing backwards.  To put this in perspective, professional/olympic downhill skiers can hit 100mph in a downhill event and are often in the 70 - 85 mph range.  The downhill skiers are also skiing forwards and using skis designed for speed, Anders did this on his park skis, a pair of Head Caddys.

Tricktip ? Switch 540

Apr 8th 2010

Yes. I feel pretty good about myself. Driving for three hours (car), skiing for two, chilling for five hours, before I took the time to edit trick tip nr 2. The switch 540.

Håtveits backyard ? Norwegian Open

Mar 21st 2010

Got home a few hours ago, dead beat from the weekend of skiing. Håtveits jump was pretty funny, and you got a lot of hangtime too!  I finally got to hit it switch after yesterdays bad skiing.
