GoPro Hero HD: Slalom Training

Could not train at my home hill of Mt. La Crosse because of snow issues, so a few of my friends and I took a coach and got some good training in at Mont Du Lac in Superior, WI

0:33 The helmet cam view is interesting, since it shows how little the skier's head is moving. The head basically follows a straight line from gate to gate, while the skis (not visible) swing out wide on each turn.

I used this video in my ski racing training

I used the head strap mount and put that around my helmet which can sometimes be hard to get it on but once it is it will stay

Sweet, I just got a GoPro and I'm very excited to use it next season for racing and stuff. Did you mount the adhesive mount on the top of your helmet or the front? I really like the perspective so I'm curious.

Is sl more difficult than rtl ? I'm a double junior master in stainach in austria. I only "rode" rtl and i'm interrestet how difficult slalom is !!!

[@sienastone]

Usually slalom is harder than gs technically, but it depends on personal preference

[@jennymonahan3254]

i dont think you should punch the gates, just hit them from the side

[@martinpeer]

Sry I meant Giant slalom

Hi AlexI like your GoPro Ski Videos. For a schoolproject I have to make a advertising video for virutal reality glasses. Could I use your video for my advertising video? Have a nice day! Best wishes Andrea

[@alharris185]

Andrea Schelbert yeah you can go for it

[@tinidavies6531]

What distance were the gates set at?

[@alextooker3309]

Bobbi Metcalfe probably 12 meter course

[@emiliogarciaarveras4383]

That is too much.

[@emiliogarciaarveras4383]

My club set them at 9 and in a much more steep slope and I go faster.
