Laura Donaldson - Olympic Mogul Skier

Laura has had some problems with jumps since competing in the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002 some of the comments she has made now that she uses the ski~mojo are below:-

The ski~mojo provides such powerful support I can jump again and I am able to ski more full days.
Wow, my knees are perfect in the evening -unheard of for me.
I felt an immense improvement in my skiing and the power really is amazing.
I love it- I'm doing things I haven't done on skis for ages and zero swelling anytime. 

This latest quote from the begining  of the 2011/2012 ski season:-

I love my Mojo!
It's so easy to use; there was a moment when I looked at it for the first time this season and  thought I'd forgotten something. I suddenly thought 'I can't ski!' and therefore I would not be able to work - I had to teach.
But all was well; I had forgotten how easy it was to put on and, since using it again, I have had no pain, no back-ache, no swelling .. all the things I used to get .. I have not even had to stretch yet!

Adam Sullivan -
Former British Alpine Slalom Champion

Adam has been skiing for 35 years, competitively for 18 of those years and 10 of those years as a member of the British Alpine Ski Team

I retired from competitive skiing after rupturing my cruciate ligament.
Following 9 knee operations I had been skiing with knee pain for the last few years, but now I have discovered the ski~mojo.
Quite simply this is the product many people have dreamt of; using the ski~mojo enables me enjoy skiing the whole mountain pain free.”

Russ Hawkins - Ski Teacher ISIA, FIS Racer

Russell Hawkins recently tried out the MkI ski~mojo and gave us his thoughts which you can read below -

Beginners often have a fear of moving with the skis, especially through the fall line, and end up getting caught back against the back of the boot. This then causes the thigh muscles to work unnecessarily - in order to support the mass of the upper body - and leads to extreme tiredness and lactic acid build up. (Lactic acid has the same effect on co-ordination as alcohol and can be a significant cause of injury through tiredness and poor performance- both of which are reduced by the natural function of the ski~mojo). As bad habits form the principal problem for skiers of lower levels, a fortune could be saved in lessons needed to advance some/most skiers to a high level.

It also functions by being a constant reminder to correct stance regardless of the steepness of terrain, an assists in a rapid rise in skill level as bad habits are avoided. It is not only the assistance provided by the spring mechanism that reduces tiredness; as all skiers benefit from having a guide to keep them forward on the skis' `sweet spot'. This then transfers the mass of the body through the skier's skeleton, thus reducing the load on the muscles still further, building good posture and technique simultaneously.

Because the ski~mojo reduces the effort required to ski, it consequently reduces the body's need for oxygen. The time lag needed to adjust to the thin air at altitude for recreational skiers on holiday, (normally two weeks), is therefore far less of a hindrance to enjoying an exhaustion free holiday.
