Re: Leather moves and movies
Too cool! Reminds me a little of the old movies with Scott Schmidt when it was about the turns, only cooler because these were tele turns. Now it seems to be about high speed straight lines, and throwing tricks going off fifty foot cliffs. I am in awe of the modern ski athletes, but I can't imagine doing those things. Even though it was never going to happen, I could at least dream of making turns like Scott Schmidt, and maybe like these guys too!
I do not know of any ski movies, but I would love to be able to see a video of the telemarkers turning down the ski jump at the 1994 Olympics. I think those opening ceremonies hooked me on the Telemark turn. That and reindeer drawn sleighs!

Re: Leather moves and movies
That was enjoyable and a good idea for a thread. The video that Digger posted on Mitch Webers thread was awesome, I think it had more turns per minute than any movie I've seen. Someone should move it over here and maybe it will get more views.
I like the modern tele movies but there is something about watching those old style turns that I can really feel.

Toe bent for leather made more sense to me but doesn't have a good ring to it.

Why do all the threads here get spammed with cheesy music videos? 
What happened to tele videos?

Re: Leather moves and movies
Now your talking! No wonder telemarking on light gear is not taken seriously by everyone. Very peculiar styles, wonky moves, mastery of unstable gear. Did you see the dudes technique on the steeps in the second vid?!!Cannatonic wrote:one of my faves - excerpt from Time Machine tele
