mrpreuss Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I think it is his unsurpassed strength to weight ratio and his strength/power in the transition/pre-release with 2 hands on the handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Boody Posted June 23, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 23, 2011 Patience - I can't believe how long he can wait at the end of the turn and still run the pass. Light on the line - He doesn't overpull and cause excess speed, even if he's late. Edge Change - He also said in an interview with WSM that he changes edges in the same spot no matter how late he is.

Old MS Accout Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I think that the use of rubber bindings is the reason. No control with hardshells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted June 23, 2011 Administrators Share Posted June 23, 2011 You have to understand that Brian "Wally" Dawson taught him to ski. Brian just never told him that 41 was hard.

Baller skibug Posted June 23, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 23, 2011 Technique, finesse, God given ability, a will to succeed, and youthful obliviousness to the magnitude of the feat. It is his norm and expectation to run it deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopowpow Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Nate is AWESOME! I grew up eating homegrown Iowa popcorn, that has to be better than Indiana... What's my excuse? I have a D3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted June 23, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 23, 2011 He's not afraid to turn WAY downcourse if need be. And when he does take it downcourse, he doesn't panick. Other than that, he does what every other elite skier does......turn and lean 6 times a pass and doesn't let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briandawsonskis Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 It actually is the Indiana "red" super crunchy, popcorn. Ward tried it and ran 39' easy the next day with me driving after a couple "dirty helens" and struggling to keep straight. It also could be that he is awesome and has been training really hard since he was 8. 23 39's in a row takes a man. Great job Nate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted June 23, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 23, 2011 Not sure how he does it, but it's great to have another young guy coming up through the ranks with such unbelievable determination and skiing ability -- our sport needs a regular injection of quality youth.

Baller Stevie Boy Posted June 23, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hmmmm is it easy because he rides an oversize ski for his weight ? (or is it the right size if you get what I mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Chef23 Posted June 24, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 24, 2011 Nate is pretty tall isn't he? 150lbs isn't that much weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Roger Posted June 24, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 24, 2011 When he was here at Okeeheelee, he was 155lbs and on a 68" ski. He has both a 67 and 68, don't know which he was riding in this one. Both are longer than typical for his weight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted June 24, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 24, 2011 He has settled on the 67" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boarditup Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Seeing Nate ski, meeting him and talking to him a bit, leads me to believe that he is very calm, mentally. Great ability to focus. Probably the quietest body positioning I've seen. He does not move around much. Great leveraged position. Probably the other skiers similar to him are Jeff Rodgers, Jodi Fisher, and Ty Oppenlander.
