Good job, you reposted a subject that was 30 years old.


to me it's quite apparent why it died out

While that was one of the weirdest things I have ever seen, those 720's and front flips were really sick.

Ski ballet might be a little fruity but those guys are definitely talented.

Hey folks we got a first timer here!

Ski ballet used to be HUGE in the skiing world. People went pro in that stuff back when, it was one of the origins of freestyle.

Seen this before, seems a little fruity. But I gotta hand it to the athletes...they have some crazy skills going on and are strong as hell to do some of this stuff

prosnurfer's video was awesome.

Seriously though, if Henrik got a hold of this shit it'd be crazy. Can you imagine a pole invert 720 ON??? If anybody could use the mechanics involved and make it relevant, I bet he could.

May I please recommend this film for your ski history education. There is a fantastic segment about ski ballet.
