Better Off Dead - movie clip - How to Ski - simple

Short clip from the Excellent Film 'Better Off Dead', showing clearly 'How to Ski' in very simple instructions.

The growling while sliding on his belly is hilarious.

[@britanyhunter9486]

“All you got to do is go that way really fast if something gets in your way turn” lol love it

[@GameAholicsVideo]

It's even funnier when you realize those are the same skiing instructions Lane got from Charles De Mar earlier.

He had a bad time...but that training montage fixed it.

[@doughazzard2532]

Practically everyone in the state of Northern California likes this movie!

[@gleasonbryan]

This scene made me fall in love with Skiing......dreamed of being able to make turns like Lane Myer...... wasn’t until about 30 years later (and several trips there) that I realized this was Snowbird

[@danman7877]

as in alta snowbird?? haha i was there this weekend!

[@willcruz7457]

I thought that looked like LCC

[@spencerallison3196]

There's several shots of Brighton during the filming

[@geraldspencer8679]

Forget Beth. Lane's true love was right next door. Love this movie!

[@BattleAxe1345]

Can I take Beth out?

[@NJDJ30]

Everybody needs a montage.... A SPORTS TRAINING MONTAGE!!!

[@richlisola1]

Agreed!

[@trendel13]

Why can't life be like this? 1. I suck at something 2. Three hours later that can be condensed into a 4 minute highlight reel with a killer 80s song soundtrack 3. Expert 😎

[@jexalia]

I cant believe that this movie is 25 years old - Most memorable is the paperboy Two Dollars I want my Two Dollars.

[@kevinbullock8837]

I can't believe this comment was made 12 years ago - now the movie is 37!!!

[@thebacklogisreal]

That’s a great song.

[@heathertakacs4405]

this song is called "Shine" by Martin Ansell...sounds just like Duran Duran to me

[@b.v.6077]

Heather Takacs that's what I've heard the first time when I saw this movie Duran Duran but I was wrong but it's a great song no I need to look for the soundtrack of Willy Bogner Fire and Ice

[@roberthughes5880]

With you 100%. TOTALLY a Duran Duran jobber

[@anonymoushuman8344]

It's by Martin Ansell. The movie soundtrack album is one of the great pop albums of that decade.

[@tallsmile28]

Exactly I thought it was Duran Duran.

[@retrojoe1590]

Man, I love this movie....and Anne Franklin too!

[@StephenAnthonyMusic]

She skied that first one beautifully.

[@yourcaseworker6916]

*'If something gets in your way...TURN'* I believe Nietzsche said that. Or was it Sonny Bono?

[@LadyChatterly]

This lives rent free in my head!

[@scottlongmore1396]

I always thought Lane should have chosen Monique the whole time. Beth dropped him when she decided he didn't serve her purposes but Monique believes in Lane. Lane chosen wisely at the end of the film Monique over Beth.

[@screwaccounts]

@jexalia The movie is filled with memorable moments. That paperboy kid is as cool as they come.

[@BaddogSports]

The essence of the 80s! LOL! I love this movie! To this day, I wonder if the paper boy got his $2. 😂😂

[@Anglynn74]

I so wanted to go skiing with John Cusak back then

[@forgetmenot6041]

the stunt men just got me laughing

[@dougcolafella9384]

Props to the stuntman - that looked painful!

[@speeddemon4539]

This is a bitchin scene from a totally awesome movie!!

[@Ktonrider]

Love catches him off guard. This also happened to me and it’s the best ever ❤️

[@mommyshark1124]

Never lose that feeling. 💞

[@JohnFleming-sw7hn]

Just like in the sopranos where Tony and Christopher got into a wreck in their truck and In this Simpsons where Homer and his dad were in their car rolling down the hill!

[@awaxakins]

@mandaloolu the "k12" run was shot at Snowbird Utah. its funny seeing my home resort in this cheesy movie

[@evanjarvis7261]

do you know which run is k12 by any chance?

[@wasatch0]

@@evanjarvis7261 Great Scott at the top of the Cirque.

[@Garethstruelove]

I’d like to know if John Cusack did any of the skiing in the movie. I adore the movie it was spot on. John Cusack was fantastic.

[@justinbayola]

no he had a ski double for all the skiing scenes. Frank Beddor was the double

[@vinblack85]

Stan Darsh!

[@screwaccounts]

There's something cool about Curtis Armstrong in my opinion. I think he's also in a relatively recent movie with Gary Busey (don't remember the name of it right now).

[@kagemaru259]

You gotta love Booger.

[@bassicrider]

My wife pointed out to me that Snot from American Dad was based on Booger from Revenge of the Nerds. Looked it up and found out Curtis Armstrong does the voice acting for Snot, surprised us both! Great actor and underrated in my book.

[@MantronixRetroTV]

this is everything @1:53

[@kulturatka]

oldschool skiing! yaaay !!

[@sha11235]

Monique's advice is the same as Charles', although she does it.

[@TheCreedBratton]

most famous montage ever

[@thebacklogisreal]

This could very well have been a Duran Duran song.

[@deltaray3]

1:14 Grrrrrr! Ggrrrrr!

[@sha11235]

When Charles comes in, that is the first time we've seen him in awhile. Wonder why?

[@spencerallison3196]

He's getting high off of pure snow! Don't you know the street value of snow?!

@ajleslie2 this film has many such awesome "little" details.

i tried to post that one along with some others, and "the idiots that be" deleted them. now, as it turns out, i don't have the 'sources' for upload available anymore. might try to get them back soon again. then, we'll see.

[@Joshdr99]

If that song doesn't get you pumped. you are watching the wrong video.

[@screwaccounts]

@mandaloolu It's a beautiful setting, isn't it.

[@mandaloolu]

i wonder where these skiing scenes were filmed?

[@spencerallison3196]

Alta, Snowbird, and Brighton in Little Cotton Wood Canyon in Utah. Sorry it's a little late but now you know.

2:10 to 2:30. Aren't those cross-country ski's? Going down even a blue run would probably kill you using those!

no, both the front and back of the foot are bound to the ski

[@DamnJungleFunction]

nope, just 80's skis- long, straight, thin, hard

[@DamnJungleFunction]

classic case of over-terraining

[@spencerallison3196]

What are you talking about? This was filmed at a real ski resort, no terraining necessary. Earth already did it.

@@spencerallison3196 its a ski instructor term for when you take a student on to terrain that is too difficult for them 🙃

Hey There! Thank you for this useful video. By the way, I notice many people keep on talking about Avalorexon Training Program (do a search on google), but I'm not sure if it is really good. Have you considered this ski program called Avalorexon Training Program? I've heard several incredible things about it.
