Parallel slalom is all about carving, so hard boots and plate bindings are used with a rigid board which can cut through the snow and give a stable and faster ride. To cut down on air resistance, riders lean into the turns and wear skin-tight suits. Most wear knee-height shin guards as they often hit the gates as they pass them, and helmets protect the head. 3, record 1, English, - parallel%20slalom
