Skiing Technique / Photo Critique Thread

Well in Austin's defense here is a picture which does better justice then the video.

Yeah, that video does make them look smaller. Though they were still pretty small and pretty spread out.



Wildcat doesn't have real bumps. Those were some of the biggest on the mountain.

I am sorry that my comment came accross as disparaging - it was not meant to be.
Austin's technique in that vid looked pretty strong and the terrain was just not challenging enough for any glaring mistakes to be really evident.

More difficult moguls ,steeper, tighter, deeply rutted - take your pick, would provide a better opportunity to note and point out room for improvement.

I could have used some constructive critisism yesterday at Sunapee. Their mogul run on Flying Goose was in great shape. My legs are cooked today. I hope that theye get some white ppt and stay open for another week.

Not enough absorbtion... :lol:

Not enough absorbtion... :lol:

Geeeeez, Greg... that's all you got? :wink: C'mon, at least give me something original! :lol:

Actually, that was the run after I kneed myself in the chin. I stayed in my zipperline though!

On a more serious note, something I learned from the camp is that there is such thing as too much absorption. There's a balance, and too much absorption is just as bad as not enough.

Okay. Take some growth hormone. You look like you're only 4 feet tall...

Better?

No no no... that would be absorption. You know, the stuff you said I should have more of? :wink:

Awf, looks pretty good. only thing i can say is that you're left pole/arm is just sorta dead weight. you only seem to plant with the right hand. big key to work on there as you will get out of kilter on steeper/bigger bumps. one other thing to try to minimize is the hip check kind of turn. go right at the bump absorb the face and get the turn going on the top to the backside.

got to throw a flag on this one.

15 yards, illegal use of talent.
