Replying to Watching shitty skiers...

cj:
For some reason recently ive been noticing alot of realy shitty skiers doing tricks far beyond their ability. Ive seen people who should be working on doing 360s with style doing ugly ass sketch switch rodeo 5s. It makes me wonder how they ever think there going to get anywhere without being able to do the bassics. The reason pros are pros is because they learn all the bassics with style then move onto the more advanced tricks. Everyone whoever thinks of making a future at skiing should take 2 steps back and re-learn the bassics. People need to be able to do 180 - 540 of the largest jumps with any variation of, grabs smoothly 4 ways before progressing much further (4 ways = regular, switch, unnatural, switch unnatural). Skiing is a building block sport. You need a strong base before you can move onto more advanced things.
