Nearly all of them are deficient with changing edges while fully flexed, which is a huge part of the reason many people on this thread were not overly inspired by the video. That particular deficiency is very common throughout psia as very few in psia really understand that movement pattern or how to teach it. It also uses many contradictory muscle engagements and relaxations that are in many ways completely opposite of the status quo movement pattern most common thoroughout psia. That task was added to our divsion's L3 exam recently and that tells me they are becoming aware of this and hoping to improve things. Schanzy's comments were also right in line with that.
Whoah....
^^^^ Wow that's awesome skiing and exactly how I would like to ski bumps one day. Not achievable but something to strive for. Also, wow for how bad the spelling of his name was being butchered before
You can aspire to ski like the last few seconds of that video starting at 3:09.
Two different skiers. JF Beaelieu, from Mount Saint Anne, Quebec and Jonathon Ballou from Aspen, Colorado. Both, though, do work for Rookies Academy and ski together a lot.^^^^ Wow that's awesome skiing and exactly how I would like to ski bumps one day. Not achievable but something to strive for.

Ahh that makes sense. Both great skiers but Beaulieu seems more like a God!!!
Until he talks for an hour and says basically nothing. God does have a nice French Canadian accent though.Ahh that makes sense. Both great skiers but Beaulieu seems more like a God!!!
I don't need to listen to the man. Just watch and learn.Until he talks for an hour and says basically nothing. God does have a nice French Canadian accent though.

When he talks he's teaching, not blathering on about his personal sensations. People do pay thousands of dollars to go to Rookie Academy in NZ. Perhaps he's totally different there but I wouldn't bet on it.
It's "the bowl".Much of teaching is about one's personal understanding of the subject. Much of skiing is about sensation. When he talks about "going up the wall," or whatever, it means something particular to him, and he's trying to convey it. If you relate to the sensation, you'll get something out of what he says. I almost do.
