Congratulations souldrive from me as well :!:
Have you mastered the 360 spinning as per Jan's instructions? It will take some dedicated practice for me ... since I'm only 13 :wink:
Yes the helmets are good for many things - safety, warmth, and even disguise :!:
Maybe 13 at heart Pavel but you know better :!: It is these young skiers that make me jealous. The 13 year olds! They fear nothing --- the pipe tricks and the freestyle mid air spins and flips. Like when on the chair lift with a 13 year old and they tell me they have been skiing all their life - then I realize they have been skiing almost twice as long as I have. And I only began skiing in my late 40's :cry: No wonder I choose to be in disguise - can't act like a kid if people see the more mature guy because someone may call the gentlemen in the white coats. Acting like a kid is more fun! :lol:
But, Dave, as Pavel says, you are providing a great place for souldrive and the rest of us to exchange thoughts on this great interest we all have. A place free of spam, and a place for civilized discussion.
:thumbup: :thumbup:
Now about that Bombardier jet plane trip to the UK Pavel... are you going to make a stop at YHZ ... I'll have the skis ready... :wink: Are we going to Jan's place :!:
I had better get back to acting like an engineer now :roll: the costs of that trip could be high :!:
Mike :D

I kind of did the 360 beauty a couple of times but not very consistently.
it's definately all about the straight legs and feet as jan said, but the crucial part that i was lacking was momentum. turning the spin from half twist-pause-second half twist into one smooth "spin" seems to be my biggest problem. I'll try to master it in les carroz early march though.
I agree with admin and pav, you look much younger in the helmet!! I'll have to bare that one in mind, thinking ahead! :D At the moment i find stupid novelty hats are sufficient for hiding the receeding hair line! :roll:
