Yep, a major impediment.
Everyone wants vid taken of themselves, not so keen to spend time video-ing others. And then they do it portrait or don't zoom in or can't find you on the pitch (even though you are the only one there) or (in the case of my wife) make this tiny gesture with their little finger indicating they are ready and then get all huffy when you don't immediately ski down even though you can barely see the whole person from that distance - what is wrong with a big wave of the whole arm - or the pitch that was empty a second ago is now filled with a crowd of stop/starters and you want to do a speed run. And there's never anyone videoing when you nail the whole run - the run you do that gets filmed is a disaster from start to finish which you know without even looking at it.
And when, by some miracle of planetary alignment, a half-way decent run actually gets filmed and makes its way into your possession, compared to Reilly or Paul or
@razie it's as boring as watching grass grow and not even an AC/DC sound track is going to save it.... Everything moves so little! What feels like a giant, well timed absorption is a tiny little up/down. What feels like "oh, this is laid over!" is barely off the vertical. You can barely watch it through slotted fingers...
But sometimes you are secretly pleased. This bit of vid is not nearly as bad as you'd feared. There may be plenty of things to improve but at least there's a couple of points that are working if you squint a bit. And you didn't fall over... It's not like those youtube stars but then again they are 3 or 4 decades younger, they've ski 250+ days per year for the last 10 years, they have plenty of film to pick from and only post the best, they are doing it for a living, etc, etc. And now, seeing what I see now in own skiing, the next run will be so much better.
Yep, just like the next game of golf is going to be so much better....
