| Fitting Atomic Beta Race Skate Skis: |
| Step #1 |
MidFlex # should be within 83%-93% of skiers weight. See Chart 1 |
| Step #2 |
Choose appropriate Tip/Tail Flex in Chart 2 |
| Some Sizing Considerations |
| Flex under the ball of the foot is *not* so crucial. |
| Flex factor over 1st and 3rd of ski is far more important. |
| If a skate ski is too soft: |
Loose stability |
Loose liveliness |
Slow performance in wet conditions |
| If a skate ski is too stiff: |
Squirely especially in firm conditions |
Slow performance in soft dry snow |
