    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!

At speed they are so much fun. I gotta try some of those sweed turns. Dude, you are awesome! You're also on those head racing skis and making switch easy. When you pop 180 are you popping off your lead foot?
