    Thanks a lot for binging it up and showing more enjoyable way of skiing and having fun while doing it !!!!

    @alexjohnstonjohnston5374 Před 2 lety +12

    The explosive technique is really important - it’s effectively slalom racing around invisible gates. I always do this for at least half of every run. You get so much more out of the run, and you improve your strength, which improves endurance, so you stop being limited by your physical capability, and you are just thinking about the Skiing. It also takes me back to my days racing on straight edge skis in the 80’s and 90’s! This was a great video, a really different take on a tuition video. Well done mate, loved it!

I has hanging off that tree well's edge instead! Totally agree the freestyle skills will be of much aid in the trees, moguls, etc. Send IT!
