Default soft and hard dynamics in one object????

Hi
I'm animating a ski jumper with hard FX sliding down the track by gravity. I would like his ski's to bend with the bumps in the track. Can i do that with soft or cloth fx aplied to the ski's?
Every time i use different dynamics to the parented objects (man and ski's) the animation splits the two objects......
can't get it right...
'Hope for help out there....
Nathan

I would think that you would be able to do it using soft dynamics only if you just set it to be very rigid(almost solid). Maybe then it would be hard enough to act like a hard dynamic(for the sliding) but still be able to bend. Just a guess. I haven't used dynamics in forever.
