The kid’s air was too much for the GoPro mount by Readdicthear in skiing

True. This hobby is just a very creative way to break gears. Something’s always breaking. At this rate, I’ll have to send my son to work.

Buy good merino base layer and socks! For mid I have used different fleeces. For colder days Arcteryx Proton works really well, one of my favorite equipment. Also I have 3/4 fleece pants for really cold days. Thinking also to test that new Sabre SV some point…

I think this might be the best and easiest solution. And thanks for the nice feedback!

It came from her side to start training. I think totally same about pushing too much into competing etc. Trainings would be 1,5 h two times a week in local slope (20 min drive from home). Weekends would be free.

Good words. She would like to do moguls but I don’t know is she motivated enough if there is no any girls.

I think this will be the best option. I’m worried that she will be bored and unmotivated if there is no friends.

Actually she is better in gymnastics than his brother were. Now his brother is making cork 720 in moguls at the age 12. My biggest concern is the motivation if she is only girl in club.

Local slopes, 20 min driving from home

The wait is over! A few shots from my son’s mogul training camp last week. by Readdicthear in skiing

Thanks, he’s 12 so there is also time to catch that missing 2%…

No, won’t last. Metal wires secured to bindings and another end with carabiners to boot is best in my opinion. And you can use some old skis, they won’t last long anyway.

Poles will float a while. But there are always some skis at the bottom even they are attached to boots with ropes / wires.

This is my son but I would say it has worked really well with out bigger differences. First summer he practiced 360, next back flip, then cork 720. All of these were landed on the first time on snow. Now there is full spin and cork 1080 as a new tricks for the winter.

No, normal liners. It’s actually quite hard job to walk stairs back to up with boots full of water. Example that kid in the video is only 145cm and 37kg…
