Skiing in the late 80's and early 90's in my opinion was a golden era!! Freestyle skiing was still "Freestyle" - Love this bump footage!!

Don't like the current moguls competition courses - way to formulaic and very boring in comparison.
@steverecht3 жыл бұрын
I love seeing real mogul skiing done by great skiers. Seeing the improvisation and adaptation to the terrain is at the core of what mogul skiing interesting to me. So sad that that's been lost in today's version of what the sport has been diluted down into, at least for me.

I couldn’t agree more! Mogul skiing has become a niche part of our sport unfortunately. Most ski resorts groom EVERYTHING. And when you do find a bump field it looks like a bunch of upside down canoes thanks to the fat skis and snowboards. I’ll take what I can get I suppose

Full agreement. The current mogul courses are boring, repetitive and have basically killed the fun of bump skiing. The skiers are still great, it would be a big step in the right direction if they would just take them to the top of a natural mogul field, let them pick their own line, and give points for time to finish and style.

Watching and skiing uneven bumps is so very much more satisfying than man made bumps.

Skinny skis were much easier to bump ski than today's skis. So much fun -- especially on spring snow like in this video. My all time favorite skis to run the bumps were Rossignol 4S 203cm slalom skis. Don't get me wrong, modern skis are vastly superior in most ways, but the way the skinnies would deep flex and rebound out of the bumps was a sensation you can't duplicate today. I miss "running the bumps." Those days are pretty much gone.

Why did we use such long poles back then?
@fimfengius Жыл бұрын
In fact they had shortened them compared to like 5 years before. But the sport developed even more with more standards and less freeskiing. Thus, also with tighter poleing techniques and shorter poles.
@WhirledPeas8 ай бұрын
I don’t know but for me I needed a longer pole to reach far enough in front for my pole plants on the steep stuff. In this video knees are fun to watch but notice the pole action; every turn has a firm plant and push.
