Where would skiing be without it. They have showed us how to ski rails, how to do spread eagles, how to ski backwards, and much more. I can honestly say that these advanced skiing techniques have progressed my skiing more than anything else ever has.

Im not going to lie guys i use expert village alot for different things and i wish theyre were some legit ski vid's on there because i would really watch those and use them alot because learning on your own is fine and everything but having tips and advice really helps( especially in the form of video because i am a visula learner)

nevermind my comment before. This guy is actually really legit, i was watching his video's and he's actaully good like he is teaching 450's out, 720's, switch 720's etc...


Its so steezy in his 360 vid he is talking you through it while he's in the air.

during his 360 he's like " just pop like that and land and ride away" like during the rotation. I thought it was funny.
