Administrators Horton Posted September 12, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2016 I guess he gets it done better than I ever will but it looks strange to me.

Baller chris55 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted September 12, 2016 Sacha ski on a Connelly GT and for what I cheked, it is a new France record. Not to bad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ozski Posted September 12, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2016 Joel was on a GT with a red underside but for the photos he was holding the production ski. @Horton I can't see this guy straightening out his back leg - ever :) Great to watch but not sure what you can learn from it.. Imagine the WR record getting broken one day in Europe out of left field - crazy but it might just happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member Than_Bogan Posted September 12, 2016 Gold Member Share Posted September 12, 2016 Looks to me like an insanely athletic dude who might still have some significant improvement left. Could be very interesting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted September 12, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2016 @Horton -- agreed. His ski posture is a mystery to me. Nevertheless, he gets it done with a tight line. As @Than_Bogan noted, I think he's just a lot better athlete than me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller wtrskior Posted September 12, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2016 he's been putting up big score for a long time. Think he had a significant injury recently. I don't see his style as unorthodox at all; very "west coast" a la 2006ish. Looks a bit like Twinter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted September 12, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2016 Skis a lot like T-Gas. I'd need to keep a chiropractor on staff to ski like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted September 12, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 12, 2016 His posture and his leg movement and compression resembles Terry Winter to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted September 12, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2016 Terry Winter's center of mass is always forward. In those videos Sasha looks to have a center of mass way back. Could be just a these video clips so maybe it's not fair to judge him.

Baller mwetskier Posted September 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2016 sacha descuns reminds me of the way wade cox used to ski and *that* reminds me of jeff rogers talking years ago about the hunched over bent leg style of some of the skiers and how he would see them icing their backs after a tournament. his statement was something like ' them boys backs are hurtin '.

Baller wtrskior Posted September 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 17, 2016 Doesn't look at all unorthodox to me, early edge change, level shoulders, lots of angle. If everyone skied the same, boring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ToddL Posted September 17, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 17, 2016 The difference that I see is that he has his butt back and shoulders forward to compensate. The result is that his COM is different, but still forward. He uses a lot of forward posture to control speed into the buoy. He also absorbs the load by bending his knees to allow the ski to change edges underneath him. That's what I see as similar to TW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted September 17, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 17, 2016 @ToddL I need to actually ask Terry about this but I believe he would tell you that the big knee bend after edge change is the unfortunate result of overload at the center line. It is not something that he wants to or tries to do. I assume this is the similarity you see to Sasha ( not hips back shoulders forward) Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Become a Supporting Member or make a One-time Donation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
