Teletips videos - vintage

Post by Hoka Hey » Sun Oct 25, 2020 3:20 pm

I'm having trouble finding the old videos like the White Lines, Hate it or Love it edits. I've found a couple of Urmas' instructional clips but not the rest. Are they available somewhere? Thanks!

"SkiwithUrmas" has 12 videos on YouTube:

Here's his instructional DVD, but I haven't watched it:

I'm not familiar with the other movies you mentioned.
There are a bunch of short clips on the Freeheellife site:

If you want to watch the weirdos at Grand Targhee hike/ski today, you can check out the current conditions:

All his problems are now solvable with the Meidjo!

With the alpine heel you mean?
I agree. I have it and rarely use it, but often feel that I should have, rather than keep trying to tele above my limits. For me there is a range of conditions better suited for alpine, I’m sure it’s the case for more than 90% of the tele skiers but we are too proud and stubborn to admit it, and a bit obsessive about progressing o the learning curve. The key is not seeing alpine turn just as a resource to save the day or that difficult run, but rather add (or renew) the interest on alpine skiing in those right conditions, with plenty of speed and power and in full control.
