Shred Flicks: Trailer Time

In this post, I'll have a collection of the trailers that drop for the 2012 ski movie premiere season in the fall

Dryland Activity: Mountain Biking Overveiw

Here is a great article from Skinet.com writer and pro backcountry skier Jeremy Benson entitled Why Mountain Biking is Good for Skiers. It points out some of the obvious and, more importantly, less obvious reasons that mountain biking is a great dryland activity for skiing.

Workout: Box Jumps

Box jumps are a great workout for all types of freestyle skiers.

Dryland Activity: Skateboarding

Welcome to shred town...

Dryland Activities: Slacklining Basics

Slacklines are a great balancing activity. Here are some links and videos to help you get started.

Workouts: the Burpee

This is kind of a dorky video, but the exercise it demonstrates is extremely effective. It utilizes all parts of the body, and helps us work on our upward jumps, the bases of our "Pop" which we use while hitting jumps.

Trampolining: Tanner

Tanner Hall is one of the more impressive people in skiing. He trains like a mad man, and loves every second of it. Why? Because like all of us freestyle skiers and snowboarders, our "training" is just as much fun as shredding.

Water Ramping: Kaya and Grete

Watch Kaya Turski, Heather McPhie and Grete Eliassen train in the summer. Notice how, athough they compete in different events, their training regiment is extremely similar.

Shred Flick: Nike Chosen

Time for some killer mini shred action.

Shred Flick: TGP vol 1, 2, 3 & 4

Andreas Hatveit has been my all time favorite park skier for as long as I've had an all time favorite park skier. Both stylish and competent, he can do every trick ever done, as demonstrated by this video.

New Blog

Hey all, so this blog is going to be filled with articles and video that will help guild you in your off season training. I'll post work outs, balance activities and some cool edits to keep you stoked on skiing all summer. Please use the information as a guide; everything should be fun, not a hassle.  If anyone would like to work out a specific workout/dryland routine, custom designed for your skiing goals, please contact me on facebook, email or phone.
