Alex–Slalom

…another day in the office and useful experience gained… Regardless of circumstances Alex’s skiing at this age could only translate into world class as an adult. Competition is not meant to be easy!



THE GOOD…






THE BAD…

Borrowed 149 (Junior) Rossignols – right ski skidding on ice – impressive save!


…AND THE UGLY!

…spot the obvious equipment failure here…


… the problem here is not that Alex is being violently assaulted by two whipping plastic poles simultaneously – but that his Leki poles are (yes – unbelievably) not clipped into his gloves and the right one is about to fly away.   Skis and everything else would have probably worked on this run with melted snow. Racing is like that – one tiny detail can have a huge impact.
