New School: Skiing's Next Generation Paperback – January 1, 2006
The "New School" of skiing fascinates the skiing world with its stylish tricks. The spectacular jumps that currently dominate every skiing magazine and freestyle film make the hearts of many ski fans beat faster. Which skier would not like to fly, with all the confidence in the world, through the air like the freeski pros who grace the pages of glossy magazines with constantly innovative, breathtaking jumps? This is where this book comes in. The authors, US ski-team-member David Babic, with Gerhard Blochl, World Cup competitor, twice German Freestyle Mogul champion, and his brother Armin Blochl describe methodical ways in which everyone can learn the various jumps quickly and above all, safely. This book contains suitable tricks for every level of skiing ability. There are also explanations as to how to ski in the halfpipe and moguls, or grind on rails. Team mates from of the German Freestyle skiing team and other national and international professional freeski professionals, plus the 2005 World Champion Nathan Roberts give useful tips and advice. This book is also designed to teach the public training progressions that can be learned both on and off the snow, to continue training during the months between May and August, in the gym, water ramps or on snow camps across the US and Canada. It contains suitable tricks for every level of skiing ability.
