Best skier of all time. In 1969 he was still ski racing and actually beat Jean Claude Killy head to head in a pro race -- he was 42 years old at the time. He was a faster racer in his 40s than his 20s because of experience and improved conditioning and equipment.
Stein Eriken, schade dass es Dich nicht mehr gibt. Mein Schulkamerad Peter Draxler und ich schreiben gerade ein Buch über Ski-Ästhetik, in dem Du eine entscheidende Rolle spielst. Für mich bist Du der "Aristoteles des Skilaufes".
Nice post. I started my journey for skiing by watching Stein Eriksen. His somersault was perfect and so amazing. When my friends asked me why you started, I always referred Stein Eriksen and his somersault.

Skied a run with him at Deer Valley, UT in 1994. Amazing.
That wig was perhaps his greatest stunt of all.
I walked through his Park City home yesterday. I wanted to know more about him. So amazing.

Any chance of there being a version of this available with subtitles?
English narration resturns at the 8:20 mark
