Why do you kids think just because someone is a gymnast they'd be the best skier ever? Skiing requires a very special balance that is much different than gymnastics...
xactly. There are so many amazing tricks that this guy does, it's hard to stay focused. The most amazing thing though is at 2:00. He plants both hands on the wall, swings his legs through and gainers. That is inhuman!
I disagree. Balance is balance. You can train it doing a lot of other stuff like gymnastic, blade or just standing in a train/bus.
On another hand skiing requires a lot of tech. Wich induce a lot of time on snow. And like every other sports you have to start young (exeptions confirm the rule).
exactly, I used to do some one that stuff (not nearly to that level, but still) and it doesn't translate as well as you'd think, the only thing it really helps with air awareness.
