The Last Hurrah of Old School Freestyle Skiing (spot 16)

http://www.TheFreestyleUnderground.com The exterior layer of the world cup tour is peeled away. Behind the grueling training, the glory and disappointment of competition on the greatest ski venues in the world there is only...waiting in airports, tiresome bus rides, hotel room boredom in foreign lands, awards banquets, opening and closing ceremonies, discothèques, food shopping, dining vouchers, shopping malls, go cart racing, billiards, and long distance phone calls...

It was 1995, the last great year of old school Freestyle Skiing. It was a time when Freestyle Skiing was still considered a unity - combined. We all traveled together, lodged together, dined together, drank together, and most of all supported our fellow teammates.

This was a time before cell phones, before decent lap tops, before DVDs, before everyone had personal video cameras, before viral videos, before Y2K, before The Dinner Roll, before the mute-grab, before the new school, before skier cross, before Shup took his last run... this was the Last Hurrah for Old School Freestyle Skiing.
