Freestyle Ballet Skiing : 1992 Olympic champion Fabrice Becker...30 years later

[@greeenz]

oh my god fabrice! ive been following your career ever since 1992, i've never seen such undeniable poise and strength...and knee control. i'm raising my son to be the worlds most ruthless ski ballet competitor. so far he is completely obsessed with you, but he gets cold on the mountain. hopefully he will pull up for nationals. i'm so glad you did this iconic reprise. undoubtedly you will inspire a brand new generation of nimble wolfs to reintroduce the glory of this sport to all humanity. way to keep it tight my guy. hmu let's shred Vail

[@jeffp862]

If your son is still doing this you should make some videos so it inspires more kids to ski ballet/ acroski

[@skiboy1970]

Fantastic, brings tears to my eyes.

[@greeenz]

Hey @skiboy1970 thanks for saying that. i also am crying

[@MikeySkywalker]

This should be in the Olympics again.

[@frankreich139]

This video should get a million likes. Fantastic!

[@freestyler5056]

Nicht schlecht, du bringst es noch! Respekt👍

[@pikotov]

Wow! Exactly like a good wine - the same but better!

[@phoeb384]

Worth watching twice.

[@martystiegmann5032]

Wow! You still have it! So cool to see the side by side routines 30 years apart! Awesome Job!

[@charliek9311]

Wow! You still make it look so graceful and easy!

[@christianseychal4434]

Incroyable et toujours aussi frais! Ski, acrobatique et artistique, tout dans la même épreuve du "ballet", discipline aux Jeux Olympiques d'Albertville qui couronna Fabrice Becker. 30 ans après, Fabrice rejoue son Ballet victorieux. Etonnant et formidable. A découvrir et à déguster...Jusqu'au bout!

[@marcvanoordt6920]

Vraiment impressionnant Fabrice! Félicitations!

[@tomhutchinson3950]

[@MasahitoTsunokai]

This is wonderful!

[@sobert2485]

C'est génial... j'ai passé une bonne partie de la vidéo à me dire qu'il y avait un bétisier ^^ Bravo et merci !

[@MikeySkywalker]

That was amazing.

[@claudemoreau1107]

Super Fabrice ! Chapeau de refaire à 50 ans cette magnifique prestation, que j'ai vue à l'époque. Ça me donne envie d'en refaire, mais à 77 ans, il faut que je fasse attention 😉...

[@DannyPodesta]

Nice job. My father wanted me to use the number "La Cumparsita" over 40 years ago.

[@sparksfamily2626]

I can not express how much I loved watching this. Particularly the outtakes at the end ;) Amazing. Thank you for sharing this.

[@Snowdancer75]

Just the best.....................and I know this!

[@trollkrem1]

Fantastic performance! Believe you are one of the best i world 2022 🤩 Wish this part of freestyle would rise from death

[@craigmaddox6791]

Fab this blows my mind! I'm amazed at how good you are after 3 decades.

[@FabBecker]

thanks Craig. Hope you are well.

[@jackymeyer1094]

Bravo Ravi d'avoir fait votre connaissance à travers cette discipline et cette vidéo c'est juste incroyable d'avoir reproduit la chorégraphie aussi fidèlement 30ans après peut-être qu'un jour vous ferez une démonstration au Champ du Feu ;-)

[@FabBecker]

Le Champ du Feu....c'est là où j'ai commencé à skié!!!

[@jackymeyer1094]

@@FabBecker Comme tellement de monde Une station de champion 😅😂🤣

[@Chopin4321]

Bravoooo fabrice... vive la magie de danser dans la neige, muses et anges arrivent... le monde se réjouit... mon père disait que l'art et le sport sont les meilleurs ornements de l'esprit, Merci pour votre vidéo, c'est très encourageant de vous voir... vous rendez le monde plus beau. J'ai coïncidé avec toi en compétition, je crois en un championnat à Baqueira... Marti Rafel était très bonne... la meilleure d'Espagne... puis je suis venue après haaa oleee... J'ai bientôt pris ma retraite pour jouer du piano... et maintenant cette année je suis revenu... je vais l'apprendre à mon fils de 9 ans... Regardez mon hommage au ballet... J'ai utilisé des images de vous tous qui m'inspirez... J'espère que cela ne vous dérange pas... merci pour tout. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJyUg2WCl56KZq8

[@marcdol7179]

[@FabBecker]

[@MasahitoTsunokai]

This is so good! Congratulations! I like to get 720s back again.

[@cwhelan74]

Une chance que c’est indiqué quelle image est 1992 et laquelle 2022! Nice one Fab. Bonne 50e! Fifty be nifty.

[@FabBecker]

merci Chris

[@sneauxone]

Who can get in touch with Rune Kristiansen or Lane Spina and get them to attempt this feat?

[@mikeatkinson603]

Where the heck did you find plate bindings ? well done !

[@dklmn7462]

Awesome! Ахуительно красиво!

[@anneseguin-poirier7778]

Genial !!!!

[@paolotoschi868]

Hallo Fabrice, still in a great shape! I use to teach ski ballet in the 90's in Madonna di Campiglio, my mentors were Rejan Deziel and Bob Howard...All my equipment has been recently stallen in a house moving and I am trying to find some ballet skis, bindings and poles unfortunately without success till now. Your beautiful videos gave me another push to try again. Any suggestion? Compliments for you great performance and many thanks. Ciao Paolo

[@FabBecker]

Ciao Paolo. Rejan Deziel and Bob Howard are my exact same mentors with whom I started the sport!! For the equipment, I don't really know. I did not use my equipment for over 22 years.

[@danielross7347]

Fabrice , that is absolutely inspiring. . What set you apart is the artistry- no wasted motions, no traversing across the course to set up a pole flip , it all flowed and even the easier spins and linking moves are treated with respect and artistry. This is was my philosophy and goal as well although nowhere near this level.

[@pablosteinert5491]

I got Olin ballet skis

[@annhexer3902]

Hey, Fabrice! Absolutely loved this video! It made me so happy. If I would like to start balled skiing today what I kind of skies, poles and boots I should get?

[@FabBecker]

hi. not sure about the answer. short skis for sure (140cm). will be difficult find poles that will be strong enough. Boots you should find easily.

[@KaiLien.blossominglotus]

Too bad you didnt recreate the outfit as well! Anyways, lets bring this sport back!!!

[@StFidjnr]

Start a petition to spread the word

[@KaiLien.blossominglotus]

Good idea! I’ll look into doing that when I have the chance!

[@jeffp862]

Where did you get those poles in 2022 can’t find any but still have my Olin ballets .

[@raybrown8887]

My first pair of ballet skis were Olin Ballets my next pair were The Ski Puppets which I still have and had Alan Schoenberger sign for my after one of his Piano Roll shows in Seattle . Great memories

[@pablosteinert5491]

Where did you get those DaynaSTAR ballet skis

[@FabBecker]

My old Dynastar skis. The best.

[@pablosteinert5491]

Nice but I have from Olin pro form back in 1985 ballet skis that are red not orange acquired like I said off of a pro forma she had to be a ski instructor which I was and they are very rare!

[@Jiewicz]

Cédric Grand aime le bêtisier.

[@mistergoodguide4006]

Ahaha comment il fait pour garder son calme 😄

[@jasonlovi8745]

It's not as polished, but still impressive.
