So, two thread starters that have piqued my interest in thinking about skiing and getting excited to get back on skis have been pulled. One liquid feet posted, and one Eric just put up.
I'm wondering how the mods would recommend these discussions originating?
It seemed to me that both the clips discussed were in the public domain, posted for self marketing reasons and open for free distribution? Kaylin for HellyHansen marketing, Valentina for sponsor and self promotion as well, it seemed? Both very clean images of quality skiing that are good to get the images and ideas flowing... Where do we go from here?
Thx LF and ET for attempting those starts, there was also a clip in there of Paul Lorenz, same reasoning, sponsor and self promotion, and great images.
I also think Paul's comments on transitions and the "argument du jour" of whether extension or retraction turns are the way to go is a fun one. Like so many minor differences in our world today, it often appears the thing to do is pick a transition move you think is superior and be a jerk about it... similar to mtb discussions, pick and wheel size and be a jerk about it, the choice becomes an identity move instead of fun way to play a game.
Anyway, love the images, let's find a way to discuss some skiers who are right on top of their game that can run free...?
Cheers!
Wade
