Holy fuck yes, no matter how hard I try, I am never satisfied by the way I look when I ski...

I always look so gapery on video. Watching myself does help me improve though. It's easy to see what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it.

it's a lot like my cooking, never satisfied

I never get to see myself ski though. I want to make an edit, partly because it adds extra motivation to throw down hard, but then you also see what you need to improve on your form. i need my camera here and a filmer tho

I do enjoy being filmed,but i also am my biggest critic. So it's kind of a love/hate relationship.

99% of the time I hate watching myself doing stuff, but in the rare event that I absolutely nail something and I watch the video back it's really satisfying.

I wish I had better documentation of my skiing. I'm getting old, not sure how much I've got left in me.

I saw myself on film for the first time this friday, I fucking hate how I look. It might be because I just have an image of how I look when I ski and I just don't match it, or because I suck. Likely the latter.

Up until this season I really really hated it. I'd stomp a trick and no matter how clean it felt I'd watch it on film and it'd always look so stupid. Whether it was my arms flailing, a missed grab that I thought I had, a pencil style, I always hated it. This year I'm not sure what changed, maybe just getting older and having some more control of my body, but all my tricks look so much better. I haven't even been trying to make them look any particular way, they just look good on film. I'm really stoked on it and I think that the 15-17 range is usually when you really start to develop some style. Just never force a specific style, figure out what looks best for you.

It totally depends on performance quality. If I am crushing it, it's pretty cool to see for myself, and to show people who may not know that about me. If I am not happy with the finished picture/video it goes into the forbidden vault and is used as a learning tool.
