Well nastar isn't the same as Like GS or Slalom cuase its ussually on a Blue run so more people can run it which means lower speeds. The way naster works is one person has like a handicap at the hill say like a 1-10 and then they run the course and it determines what the best time could possibly be ect ect. If you beat that time that the handicapguy got your get a nastar button or some [censored] that atleast how they did it in Norway, MI. Our guy had a Handicap of 4 and it would take him about 32 seconds to run this course. on slalom ski's i could get into the 20's with ease. If it where on Double blacks or even blacks then it would be better in my opionion. Its a good entry into the sport but nothing like HS,USSA, or Junior olympics or Team racing.
On another note i didn't get the Atomic 10.26's.. I got the Beta Race 10.22's in a 193cm. Im not gonna say the cost lets just say not alot...
They went to the bar, I am home sick now.
