Double7s Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I have skied with guys that refuse to video. They need it because there perception is not reality! If you you want to get better sometimes you need to swallow your pride and take a look at yourself. I have skied a pass and could not wait to see it on video. Once I see it it didn't look as good as what it thought, but it made me better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwillygood Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 i think video helps alot, although i do agree i never seem to ski as pretty as a feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmcrory Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I realized a long time ago that I was fatter, uglier and slower on video, but still find it helpful. We mount a GoPro on the ski bar and leave it on for our sessions. The GoPro wide angle lens doesn't allow close up technique assessment, but shows major form and timing. Sometimes we never look at it, but we do flip through it if we cant figure out whats wrong, or had a spectacular wipe out. The GoPro's battery life and 32GB memory card are good for about 2 hours.

Baller Ed_Johnson Posted August 10, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 10, 2012 I cannot even imagine a practice set without video. It is my coach. Tells me everything I am doing wrong and the few things I do right. Also drives my Wife nuts because I download it and play it back in slo-mo after skiing on the big screen in the Den... Good news is She has agreed to me now having my own Man Cave before She goes crazy...A great winter project.....And Yes, it will have a "Stocked Bar."

bigtallweed Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Has anyone had success mounting a video camera to a Malibu pivoting pilon to follow the skier from side to side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taelan28 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I for one am afrain of video. I dont like asking for people to do me the favor either. Id rather feel cool and suck than realize how much i suck. I also see how bad i am in the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtallweed Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Thanks davemac. I would love to see a picture of your setup if you could email it to me @ dldals@shaw.ca I was thinking of building a camera mount for my 94 Malibu Euro F3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
