Thats cool! I have been wanting to learn some basic moves. I can spin, but would love to do more. I tried looking for instructional materials, but can't find anything. Any Ideas?
Quand je pense que j'ai mis sur le bord du trottoir 2 de mes paires de Olin Ballet ak 2 sets de Leki Poles durant un déménagement il y a 4 ans, je veux juste me tirer une balle dans la tête!!!! J'ai fais du ballet pendant un bon bout (77 a 89...). Aujourd'hui je fais des spins ak mes 1080 Moguls... Ça me manque. Merci pour ce clip c trop génial :) Philippe Brun.
hi i am a boy of 14 years, I looked a little on the barn and found an old pair of ballet skiing, which I had to try, Dad had been very good at it before he drives me to practice, I must say this video here was good !
I'm going to learn how to that. do you need any specialized skis or poles? Although ill do my level 3 instructors course first before i injure myself :P
Awesome stuff. Great to see someone bring there stuff back out. Could only imagine if it made the olympics (those stuffy fools).. The tricks would be way off the hook by now. And think about the terrain park stuff we could do with our poles and skis.
Still have my Leki pole, Atomic poles, Olin Ballet, Hart Ballet skis. All in the garage where I can see and remember those great days.
This is really beautiful! I enjoyed your performance very much. You have such wonderful control.
I've never been on skis in my life, but I'm trained as an ice skater, and this video makes me want to learn to ski. There is some similarity to the spins and turns done in skating, and I wonder if that would help in learning.
Do you have any advice for a neophyte who wants to learn this style of skiing? It's hard to find skis like that -- would something like 75cm "skiboards" be suitable?
J'avais depuis longtemps le souvenir de ce sport qui a été présenté aux olympiques lorsque j'avais seulement 5 et 9 ans. Les présents olympiques m'ont refait pensé à ça. C'était assez spécial comme sport, merci pour ce vidéo, à St-Sauveur en plus. Tu sembles ne pas trop en avoir perdu. Est-ce que ça nécessitait des ski et bottines spéciaux??
Bonjour, il ne fallait de bottes spéciales. Les ski devaient être d'une dimenssion de 80% de la grandeur du skieur (140cm dans mon cas). Des skis de ballet étaient préférable. Les batton ĉependant sont des LEKI spécialement conçue pour le ballet, plus gros et plus fort que les batons standard.
Wow, you are in great form. As far as skis go, I am considering having one small ski factory I know replicate my old ATOMIC Ballets, which I still use every year. I am nowhere close to this level, and my age is higher as well.
I have contacted LEKI factory, and they checked whether they still have somewhere in the vaults the old ski poles. NO.

This sport needs to be brought back. I'm making it one of my life goals to learn the stuff you do there. :)

I was kind of apprehensive when I first heard of it, thinking it was a silly idea... But after seeing this I realize it's kinda awesome.
