While awaiting Liam's video of the Stein Erickson's legs-locked-together skiing look of elegance, the presented video's have been fun to watch.
Certainly, that look can be seen on any given day, and, I've got friends who ski like that. They just want to power through it, have a good time and dare you to keep up. Technique is eschewed, results matter. For some it's mogul's, others it trees, or speed, or how long they stay out on the slopes. Bushwacker's a little in that vein with his ski-off challenge to "Come to Stowe, ski with me and I'll kick your butt". I've never thought technique is important to him, unless it comes to passing a qualifying test. Honestly, they can be a lot of fun to ski with, and, make me bite my tongue on occasion. We are all different.
Stand on the first hole of a golf course or watch what's going on at tennis courts, and, it's very clear the need to just power though exists in those two sports.
So, Liam, good find on the videos, we need to find something to discuss as the countdown to the season begins. I was remembering that Liam got first runs last season with the Halloween storm that dumped in the Berkshires. I'll be in western Mass. this weekend, I should take a ride up there.
