Freesking evolution and history?

[jeorad]

I need to do a 5min talk on any topic in uni, and I want to do it on freeskiing. But, Im having a hard time finding any background to freeskiing or its evolution... Can anyone help me out? Know of any website that has some articles?

Peace

research snowboarding, then at the end. tell them we cut them in half and thinned them out and we got "twin tip skis"

that guy in the olympics

i forget who

the guy that threw the mute 3 or whatever

i think thats wen people started copying it and started to get more into freeskiing

freeskiing started out mostly in the early nineties when a few kids where trying to pull rollerblade moves on skis and invented skiboards, and then there where some guys trying to do the same on skis a little later on. these people convinced companies like salomon to make twin tip skis.

but people have been freeskiing for decade before that. search for freeskiing on wikipedia you will find a lot of stuff.

Use Ethan's twintip evolution timeline in Freeskier.

pick up any mag and you'll find something on it. esp. like begining of year or end of year editions.
