Очень жалко что такой красивый и креативный вид спорта перестал существовать в мировых и национальных первенствах.
Я с удовольствием пересматриваю выдающихся спортсмннов того времени. Это уникальное зрелище и мастерство. Это настоящий спектакль который можно смотреть было из года в год по мере его развития и внедрения новых элементов новыми молодыми спортсменами.
Каждый из спортсмннов это готовое лыжное представление для открытия любых лыжных дисциплин.
Музыкальное, хореографичное и эстетически привлекательное готовый снежный спектакль на снегу!!!
Жалко потерянное время и утрату настоящих действующих талантливых чемпионов, сконцентрировавших в себе столько качеств как гимнастика, акробатика, хореография и конечно бесподобное владение лыжами на снегу!!!
Надеюсь что люди когда-нибудь оценят утрату спортивной эстетики и вернут этот вид спорта снова на большую сцену. В соревновательном качестве или как снежное шоу на лыжах. Это красивое зрелище в котором нужны талантливые режиссеры и постановщики Снежного БАЛЛЕТА!
can you do one tenth of what they did ?
you know what this means...

The death of ballet/acroski is due to one thing: the lack of talent in the mid to late 1990s. These guys suck in comparison to the skiers in the years from 1986-1992 or so, ballet skiing's peak years. None of these guys has any technical difficulty. I remember guys like Hermann Reitberger, Dave Walker, Tim Anderson, Nelson Finstad, Rune Christiansen, Richard Pierce, Jeff Wintersteen... all of these guys threw 900 axels and AT LEAST 1.5 twisting pole flips. In the case of the first four I mentioned, ALL of those guys had at least TWO 900 axels and a 1.5 twisting pole flip in pretty much every run. I even saw guys like Reitberger, Walker, and Finstad throw THREE 900 axels in World Cup runs, including a cross-skied 900 axel. Christiansen routinely used a double-twisting pole flip by 1990.
The problem with the sport of ballet/acroski isn't that it wasn't appealing. (It was at one time.) It's that it actually REGRESSED over time. The guys in this video are pretty bad relative to their predecessors. While mogul skiers and aerialists got better and better, this segment of Freestyle Skiing peaked in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The guys in this video suck. Many of them can hardly do 720 axels and full-twisting pole flips... no matter how hard they try to fake it on the hill. Even the dance part became shoddy. It's gross. The sport got so prissy in just a matter of years. I guess all the real athletes turned to snowboarding.
no, not at all, most ballet skiers would not turn to snowboarding, rather turn to arts, fine arts, music, piano playing...where time and space collapse again into an eternal moment of infinity, but how would you know... they have more grace, talent and joy for life than you can ever suspect or imagine...not everything is about technical difficulty wolf, you sound too pessimistic, bad, and regressive, you don´t respect, you are not a real athlete
It's funny you say that---and evidence that you have no idea what you're talking about. I spent four years on the FIS World Cup Tour in the ballet category. In fact, I skied with every one of those people I mentioned. And not one person I know of, that skied in my event, went on to become any of those "graceful" things you mentioned. Instead, they went on to become landscape architects, teachers, business owners, chemical engineers, etc..
You have no idea what you're talking about, and the reason is this: you've never been there, my friend. :)
who were you? one of the 3 who opened track before competition to test music...say competed world cup...i also danced with some greats, ian edmonson, lane spina...maybe in the past you tried to be an athlete, but you just don´t sound like one now, see the way you talk.."death of ballet...lack of talent...these guys suck...have no technical difficulty..." i wish i could see the height, power or grace of you axels...must have been really good to insult so arrogantly your fellow athletes like edmonson, you are disrespectful, soft and weak, not an athlete in spirit
ballet skiing is not weightlifting, involves performance, choreography and music, the word ballet comes from the greek, meaning " to jump about, to dance ", and involves a muse, terpsichore, the muse of dance, and also involves grace, the grace that you lack, that might well have ex ballet skiers who became architects or teachers, or maybe not, edmonson and spina at least had it and kept it
Your ignorance is appalling. In fact, I beat a couple of those guys you mentioned, on an occasion or two---including Ian. I'm named in the people I listed. Figure it out, sport.
Once again, the reason ballet died is because it regressed. The common man doesn't care for dance on skis. He wants the evolution of technical difficulty, just as we've seen in moguls. That's why the sport died, plain and simple---it regressed.
And it's funny how you know so much more about ballet skiing than me...even though I'm the guy with a Jr. National Title, Sr. National Title, Nor-Am Title, and a World Cup stint to my credit.
Wait...are you Buddha?
hahahahahahahahahahaha so much gayness in one video
