Default The revolution in skiing world

It must come as an extreme shocker to them epicski's bears and you
gappers alike. Here's what your skiing expert, Bob Barnes, of
epicski.com, said about expert skiing:

[quote]And so, I like the skiing of Snowbender in his video clip.
While it is not the style that I would usually prefer for myself, and
it alone does not make him an expert, I contend that few skiers on any
mountain could imitate him. Any true expert could easily imitate his
movements and "style" if he wanted to. While it is true that few
experts ski like him (very often), it is also true that anyone who
cannot ski like Snowbender is certainly not an expert.

Anyone would benefit from turning Snowbender's "style" into a drill
and seeking to master it, even if you don't like skiing that way. In
ways that perhaps few might understand, Snowbender's "exercise" is
helping him master many important nuances of expert skiing, including
subtle edge control, mastery of rotational (angular) momentum, and
fore-aft balance. As an exercise, he is developing a "touch" that few
skiers have, but all would benefit from. [end of quote]

You gappers sucked.

Yours truly,
