What’s their secret?

The award winning Ski Mojo is a device worn discreetly under your ski-wear acclaimed as a ‘State-of the-Art-Exo-Skeleton’. Using precise engineering Ski Mojo can help you in several ways:
  • Reducing the strain skiing puts on your thighs to reduce or even eliminate thigh burn.
  • Ski Mojo takes up to one third of the strain off your knees. Less strain means less chance of damage and less pain if you already have injured knees.
  • Supports your posture-helping to relieve back pain, gets your hips forward making for easier turns.
  • Acts as a shock absorber- reducing the shock to all of your body caused by uneven terrain, improving your stability.
  • Ski Mojo gives your legs up to an additional 50% Power Boost – more power leads to a better control.
  • Acts as Traction Control – When you lose grip on ice or hard slopes, it reacts quicker than you do to find an edge.

Using Ski Mojo allows you to ski harder for longer. When you are not fatigued you are less likely to have an accident at the end of the day. By supporting a percentage of your body weight Ski Mojo gives you the opportunity to spend more time on the slopes, gives you a good all round aerobic work-out, and gives you the energy to ski longer and enjoy more!
 



If you want to buy a Ski Mojo, quote contact@first-tracks.fr as your referrer on www.ski-mojo.com and you will get a 5% discount off your online purchase!
