How could anyone possibly thumbs down this??!? Between the moog dominate soundtrack and, well, everything else - it’s kind of perfect. I mean, telemarking is stupid, but I certainly can’t quit…
I wound up with a pair of those Rossi Chamois skis in a trade years ago. I’ve started using them with a low T1 Terminator, and I can downhill them a little without hurting myself. Nice to switch things up, not ski the same gear every time.
I now getting into tele this year. Been asking since the 70s and need a fun new challenge. Skiing today is too fast for this guy. I love how graceful this looks.
6:44 my dude in the white jacket! Over-poling with the uphill hand, like a true tele skier!!! Lol, I spent so much of my first season doing that, my wrists still hurt!
I just “jabbedy jab” can’t balance “jabbedy jab” well with my “jabbedy jab” floppy boots “jabbedy jab” and skinny skis!! I always feel like I’m cheating when I compare my modern stuff to what I learned on way back then!
First, it was “cables” made of birch roots around the heel. Then simple three-pins, then three-pins with steel cables, then 75mm norm with the introduction of springs, and now NTN. I do love the history, and I’ll be rocking my older 75mm set-up until they fall apart, but that said… Can’t beat NTN. Offers the most versatility and freedom.
Wow! Where in the world did you find this video? Very cool. Very nostalgic. I was there: telemark skiing in the 1980s. Long stiff skinny skis with no side-cut. Three-pin bindings. Leather ankle high boots with laces. To be honest, even a beginner can telemark ski within an hour of practice on today's equipment. With the old gear, you really had to have your balance honed perfectly as well as timing and ability to read the topography of your lines and adjust for different conditions as you skied AND you need super strong legs/knees.

Not to mention I was the 39th sub.
With 9.6K views I think so much not sub and like weird
Telemarking isn’t stupid, only true masters who can effortlessly glide up and down terrain know.
@@ripred42 dude, read the original comment again. Lol.
"telemarking is stupid, but I certainly can't quit" lmao. I agree and yet I cant quit either.

Much more natural way of skiing than astronaut like skiers of nowdays

The narrator couldn’t be more right about corn snow. The right consistency really is magic. Especially on tele gear. Not sure why.

Most modern-day tele skiers can't ski this well even with fat skis and 4-buckle plastic boots!

Same here. I'm not overly tall and those long skis left a lot to be desired :)
