Is this another case for using an "asymmetric grip" in slalom ?

I don't remember what I was looking for but this is what I found . . a kid with a backwards grip.

Or did @Drago get good because he was skiing on the ocean ?

My brother wore the same glasses floats. Never worked. He’d crash…prescription glasses gone. What a great blast from the past ?

@swbca . kinda creepy. That's Cherry Creek reservoir, Colorado. Ocean -like.Yes, I lost lenses on occasion.

I think I was 12, maybe 13, when I was helping the guy that ran classes there. 7:00 am, glass water, just the 2 of us. He says, Whelp, time for you to learn how to drive.

@Drago The post was a light hearted through-back to a discussion a year ago where people were naming and posting photos of top skiers who had an asymmetrical grip in slalom.

Not offended @swbca , if I thought is was fully creepy, I would've flagged it. It amazing what's out the on the World Wide Web. I wish I could find the newsreel of me jumping my bike 39' when I was a little kid

Switching Grip

In the earlier discussion about Asymmetric grip, we learned that Kris LaPoint and other well known and some lesser known skiers had switched from from Asymettric to Sysmettric grip at some point in their skiing history. Last summer was my first summer after a long layoff from skiing. I switched grip mid summer and it helped completing off side turns and holding angle on my off side. Didn't do anything for my on side.

I tried switching once, nearly blew my back out
