It's really great hearing Henrik preach about his skiing and life the way he's always wanted to. I think with his improved English and lessons learned over the last couple years, he's really putting his true vision of skiing into reality and words - which are a pleasure to experience as a fan and fellow skier.

The fact that he can do what he said at end of the video, "go out to Dew Tour/x-games courses with no practice and still crush it the way he envisions with no training" really goes to show where his head and skiing is at - a MUCH higher level than anyone out there competing.

his training is 'skiing everyday', like he said he does. so technically he does 'train' and 'practice'... EVERYDAY! He just does not use that word or think of it as 'practicing' or 'training'. Skiing everyday should be everyones 'training'.

As much as I personally agree with Henrik's way of looking at skiing, and the way he does things, isn't it kinda hypocritical to use the word should in this context? I mean, what Henrik is trying to say is he does it his way, but he's not judging others and saying how others should be doing their thing. Let people do it the way they think is right, and don't make yourself the judge of what is right and wrong in skiing. In my eyes this betrays the whole message of Inspired, but maybe I'm wrong?

did not mean to come off hypocritical... and you are right, henrik does not judge anyone in the way they do things. and inspired definitely thinks everyone should do their own thing as well that makes that individual happy.

my point was, that skiing everyday is training and that is how henrik 'trains'. that is all i was trying to say. sorry for the confusion. was never trying to say anything was right or wrong. just saying he looks at it different, but when all said and done, all the best skiers, pretty much just ski everyday and in turn they become better.

Yes, skiing everyday is training for him but that is very different from what many consider to be training. Training for most high-level competing pro's consists of doing intense workouts like sprints, weight machines, yoga/stretching (grabs), maybe even breathing exercises, etc. in addition to skiing almost everyday. Look at pros from other sports-they might go to practice every day for a few hours, but right after, you'll see them working out in a gym.

I feel like since he's not doing any outside exercises to work on endurance,etc. he's really just practicing his tricks.

Sparknotes:

training-working out,getting fit, preparing physically/mentally
practicing-working on only the sport without aspect of fitness,strength,etc.

Pretty sweet how he's incorporating different styles gained from the different areas he's skied into his own style. The guy's definitely a true visionary to competitive freestyle.

In his day in the life edit he said he bikes for like an hour in the morning before skiing. If he's skiing every day to the best of his ability, why would he need to go to the gym? I think alot of pro's use the gym due to being away from skiing in the off season, if you're skiing every day at full fitness, what is the point in sitting in the gym if you could be on the mountain getting fit and improving your skiing at the same time. Henrick's got it right.

I think Henrick is skiing at the highest capacity his body can currently allow; combined, skiing and working out at the gym increases your body's capacity to ski at the highest level.

This kid has really grown up, and he is living his passion minute to minute, is being a positive force in skiing and in general, and is one of the most talented mother fuckers to ever click into a set of bindings. I hope he has a crazy contest season and films yet another ground breaking video part.

His aesthetic and posturing used to bug me, but really, he was just really young, and at the end of the day that shit is just the periphery. I don't know how anyone could root against this guy.

Exactly why I think he does so well, because his mental game is on point. He goes out there confident in his abilities to throw down and focus on what he loves, chyll dude
