According to the information we got from a respective source from the US, IJSBA and APBA are working out a formula for changing the rules in the Pro Ski Open in order to raise the competition and make fare the battle between the four strokes and two strokes. Possibly the displacement will reach the 900 or even the 1000cc. Additionally, the tuners will allow the use of aftermarket cylinders equipped with power valves. Therefore, two strokes will have the required power in order to reach the performance (acceleration and top speed) of the turbo-charged four strokes. There is no doubt that the Pro Ski class will be more fun to watch than any other class at next years World Finals.

Christophe Girello chief mechanic of Rius Racing was helping out Dustin Farthing with the handling issues of his two Ski’s. One of them was equipped with an oversized two stroke engine. The pictured ride plate was the composite OEM plate of the S4 that was heavily modified by Girello with a B.Chapin pattern of holes in order to enhance rear end grip and straight line stability. Girello had also modified an aluminum ride plate for Farthings second Ski. According to Girello Rius Racing plans to produce an intake grate and a ride plate for the S4.
