Default Ski flex question

http://www.dreamofit.com/latestnews.htm

"He raced the classic leg on a pair of 38 kg (FA), 0.8 (HR), 201cm
cold, Salomon Equipe 10 skis ..."

"Babikov (67kg) skated on a pair of 107 kg Equipe 10 cold skis that
were selected in October for their 107 kg flex ..."

What do "FA", 'HR", "0.8" mean and how is it all measured?

Default Ski flex question

For direct answers, I'd try Nathan Schultz at info (AT)
bouldernordic.com. He's a partner of Zach's, and skied on and
sells/grinds Salomon. If that doesn't do it, contact the
Salomon-sponsored team at skipost.com. Email questions to weanswer (at)
skipost.com.
