In PL only clubs and people with licence from national association (doesnt matter which one) can ride. 13 people from skiclub were there plus me and my 2 buddies....

I realized that 30 percent incline is ca 17 degrees. That slope though it's in the top ten of polish steepest slopes. Not sure how you feel, but i actually find it easier to ride in a steeper slope then not. At least you can curve your carves more without loosing speed.

Lurch Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 I hope the FIS note the more open course always seem to generate close & exciting races. Correlates with motor sport circuits too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That slope though it's in the top ten of polish steepest slopes. That level of steepness is very nice for carving. At the Western Canadian resorts where I ride it would be regarded as an intermediate run, especially as well-groomed as that one is. I hope to get out your way sometime.

slapos Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Poland is about to lock the slopes again meaning this is end of play for me for this season. Shout out to mr Donek for the awesome proteus. Really fun board to ride even with my poor form. Hope you consider this worth watching 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonbordin Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 I fell down the Loddo hole... again. I don't want to be Loddo. I don't want to ride like Loddo. I want to ride WITH Loddo.

MNSurfer Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) Just Saturday morning ranting here. Please move along. Ok, I have a rub with European carving videos, which is the same as that is with Euro Surfing videos. They're all in slow motion! Even if you don't know where-in-the-world it is, if the whole video is in slo-mo, there's a solid chance it's in Europe. Personally, I think carving (and surfing) is a far more impressive watch when viewed 'normally'. You just miss that sense of speed, gravity, and intensity, when slowed-down. Sure you get to see individual chunks of snow flying out of a rut, but then what? Perhaps there's something proper cinemagraphic about an entire video shot at 1/4 speed, and I'm an uneducated rube, longing for something different. Europe has some amazing mountains (as this video proves) and waves, fabulous carvers (Loddo rips!) and surfers. It's just really painful to watch every video in slow motion. End of rant.

pokkis Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 I sometimes play those videos with x2 or x4 speed to get feeling, and get rid of music 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) Lucky you that you just dislike the slomo. I also dislike the overdone body dragging. When hands start digging a trench it is too much for me. Nothing against EC (e.g. Jacques Rilliet makes it look great IMO), but some overdo it. Edit: Guess it is also the slomo that makes the body dragging stand out more, think it would look better to me without slomo.
