Best simple tip you've ever received about your skiing?

gregor100 · 2014-10-26 18:39:46

For me it was definitely 'properly focus on what your foot is doing inside your boot and try and actively think about keeping the weight spread flat and evenly' I swear my skiing improved instantly when i started consciously thinking about it this way. So what's yours?

"don't overthink your tricks, feel them"

"if you keep failing, chill, and come back later"
"if your falling down anyways, don't try to get up instantly" bad calf/shinbang came from that
"replace grinding by skimming, think light" helped me tons for my first rails/tube

Bum.Life"Don't care too much about what people think about you in the park."

Once I stopped thinking about how stupid I looked when learning tricks in the park I was able to progress much faster

yeah dude thats a goodie just forget about what other people are saying focus on your progression and then you might even pass up the haters cuz they were to busy correcting everyone esles skiing rather than their own.

Whoever made that graphic stole the old Saga logo. Take out the two Ys and connect the GA to the previous A and you got their logo

I'll claim that... but 'stole' is a strong and accusatory word... 'adapted' might be better.

While I'm not a big fan of Saga in terms of their look, Bloom seems to be on the opposite end of the spectrum. Everything is black, grey or brown, with some shades of blue. I checked your instagram, twitter and site and this appears to be the look for at least a couple of years now across the board, right? (I saw a red jacket from 2013 and something very light green from 2011)? Not all that bad if I may say, but you could rebrand:

"Gloom Funeralwear: onward and upward ....into the Volcano" ?

Of course color is not everything, especially in technically oriented outerwear, but was that a conscious design decision to keep the pallet so dull, if I may say? What does the logo represent, I am not getting a vibe of "bloom" from it, is it meant to be a flower of some sort?

Being a tip thread, you could read this as a tip.
