    I always feel a sense of bewilderment and relaxation when watching your skiing style, knowing full well what you went through with Big Bertha. It's truly astounding. Your whole approach to the sport is at a level few, if any, will ever experience. It's also great to see some more Balme footage. All of your videos are regular viewing for me, particularly Few Words, both at home and in my job as a PE teacher. Stay safe and keep shredding.
