www.oldsnowboards.com Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I find it oddly amusing and wrong at the same timel.:D Looks like it is about sitting on the inside ski and the outside ski is largely following with little weight on it. Looks particularly painful in the knees? I think it is best described by "Why"?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I agree. This is the ski equivalent of the butt high in the air, reaching way down for the snow toe side on an alpine board :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gossamer Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Back when I skied I worked hard to keep pressure on the outside ski, I always admired the Mahre brothers. Bode pulls out some incredible saves on the inside ski, but looks great here on the outside ski. Even after 15 years of skiing I find that there's nothing like carving on a snowboard.

davekempmeister Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 nice find, Bryan. I'd love to see some footage of this guy mixed in with alpine riders to up the stooge factor. it'd be a great juxtaposition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroshmero Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Maybe he should get rid of one of those skis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Is he trying to snap an ACL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 A little like what we used to call an "outrigger" which was an inside ski turn with the hips below the knees. The outrigger, though, was still a hip-angulated turn - the body stayed relatively upright as the uphil knee and hip drove toward the inside, with the outside leg straight and virtually unweighted. This guy is taking all the power out of the turn by lying down like that. The holy grail was to blast from, say, a left-turn outrigger straight up into a clockwise helicopter, landing in a right outrigger. Oddly enough it was easier to do backwards, like a figure skater. Horrible load on ACL no matter what, of course.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 That is one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. He's on the bunny hill on pocket rockets looking like a moron. Can he do that on a steeper slope? Wow.... Yep, but he sure is serious about it :) Rental skis? Translator? Could be fun to hear his explanation of his carving style. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekempmeister Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Translator? Could be fun to hear his explanation of his carving style. ;) Isn't there a young, sophisticated, cosmopolitan & tech savvy BOL member living in NY who hails from Poland? Little help?
