The steel runners themselves are blunt. They're polished until very smooth, minimizing the friction between them and the ice. Since narrow runners further reduce friction and are faster, the IBSF has rules covering runner width. Applying plating, coating or lubricant to the runners is illegal, a...
It is a smooth piece designed to minimize friction between the binding and the boot during a lateral release. The purpose of the AFD is to allow the boot to slide sideways more smoothly during release. Elastic Movement To reduce the likelihood of inadvertent release, bindings allow a certain...

We see another example of drag reduction when we watch downhill skiers in the Olympics. Whenever they get the chance, they'll squeeze down into a tight crouch. By making themselves "smaller," they decrease the drag they create, which allows them to zip faster down the hill. A passenger ...

Spray under the toe arms periodically with silicone spray to reduce snow and ice buildup. Raise and lower the heel of your boot a few times when engaging the toe to make sure the interface is clear of debris. Make sure your toes are fully "locked" before skinning. If the toe won’t ...
(including a nifty Stories upload feature), Facebook, YouTube and more. Not only does this reduce the friction of using GoPro’s products–no more tethering to a laptop or saving videos first to you phone’s camera roll–it also makes GoPro an essential tool in the quest to share one...
Efficiencies, renewable-energy breakthroughs, and halting deforestation, along with shifts in our own perception of what makes us happy, can reduce carbon emissions.But how do we also enhance the equally critical carbon-absorption side of the cycle?
