Ski Ballet.. What the fuck...

I don't care how superfruity it looks at times, thats some badass motherfucking shit right there haha

I think I tore my meniscus just watching that. Jesus.
 
Good job, you reposted a subject that was 30 years old.

to me it's quite apparent why it died out

I did a 15 page report in highschool about the history of skiing and some how missed this... this could have added a couple pages too..
 
My initial reaction to this thread was very different to my reaction to that guy doing a fucking inverts on flat ground
 
i want to see someone do this shit off the lip of a jump!!! butters off the lip are overrated its all about ballet spins and flips!
 
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
 
how has no one heard of this? this was newschool skiing before newschool skiing came along. it was in Hot Dog and every pre-1985 warren miller film ever made. hell even my dad has a pair of ballet poles collecting dust in the basement.
 
lol at the ski ballet video with thugged out music

its officially impossible to make that not look homosexual
 
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.
 
not to mention it was in the Olympics as well (as a demonstration sport, but it was still there).
 
May I please recommend this film for your ski history education. There is a fantastic segment about ski ballet.
