  • Ballet skiing goes back to the mid-seventies. Actually started with Wayne Wong and "Hotdog" skiing early seventies.

  • @dspin720

    I know. I discover Hotdog skiing with Wayne Wong in a Pepsi TV commercial in the early 70'.

    But accroski did die as a World Cup discipline in 1999.

  • Whats a general ski length for a ballet ski? looks 150-160?

  • @phil656565 80% of your height. Average guy like me (5,8") were on 140cm. Tall guy were on 150cm. Women were mostly on 130cm.

  • @raycyr alright thank you, bout 145 for me then, is there a cold chance in hell i could find any accroski poles?

  • @phil656565

    Mmmmm, this is not gona be easy. Look for Leki ballet ski pole on Google, you might fond something. I still have mine, but i know a lot of ballet skier from the 90' that have trashed their ballet ski and poles.

    Good luck!
