Thanks!
I was guessing about 70mph. 60 to 80 mph without a car wrapped around you. Wow! I was watching some superG on tv when I sent my post. It was a great visual example for my son of what using your edges really means. g JS AstroPax wrote: On Sun, 22 Feb 2004 00:18:54 GMT, John Smith wrote: How fast are they going in super G ?

Forget the 80; 60 gets a Wow! from me.

Well, much depends upon the course, but typically I would say anywhere between 55 mph and 80 mph. (Geeze - a top poster, in this day and age ...) 80 mph is too high - Super G has real turns, and is intended to fill the gap between Giant Slalom and Downhill, created when course setters started setting tighter GS courses. 50-55 mph is closer, IMO, for SG. DH hits 70+ - maybe 80 occasionally on some courses. But yes, DH speeds are dam fast without a car wrapped around you. Especially when it's your kid. Or yourself. (First time the kid AVERAGED 60mph for a downhill course we about choked.) |

(First time the kid AVERAGED 60mph for a downhill course we about choked.) I just checked the results from the Kitzbuehel SG on the FIS website and was surprised. Maximum speed attained (at the second time trap) was 130.70kph by Didier Cuche. Rahlves only managed 129.90, but fortunately for him, it's time, not speed, that counts. His average speed was just under 100kph. I also check the results for Beaver Creek and Garmisch, and Beaver Creek showed a max measured speed of 105kph, while Garmisch showed an average speed of 101kph. I think the reason for such high speeds in Kitz is that the run-in to the finish is pretty straight, not much different from the downhill, so they pick up a lot of speed on the last few seconds of the course. [ For the metricallly challenged, 130.7kph is 81.2mph ] |
