As you start to experiment with higher speeds, you are ready to try a more advanced schuss position. The tuck, or egg, offers the optimum aerodynamic position, but still allows the use of the edges to steer. It is fun and fast but quite tiring for the thighs, back and neck. In addition, shock absorption is limited, and unexpected bumps and hollows can provide unpleasant surprises for the inexperienced. Though not as fast as the tuck, the pike position is much less strenuous. It is especially useful for long, shallow schusses. Use a neat, compact tuck to achieve a high-speed schuss.
