Thank you very helpful

Dear MKbikesmithers,
your videos are fantastic.
I have a question for you; I work, for free, for a Ski Club in Italy and I would like to share your videos, in sci club website, for our ski club members.
This could be a method to attract more different people who have never tried skiing.
Could I have your permission to propose this my idea to our ski club director?
Thank you very much for your attention.
Best regards
MD

I thing the scariest thing for me in skate skiing and any other snow activities is the speed and leaning forward towards speed, also when it comes to the hill with that thin skis is quite scary

What I just saw and what I just did ... two very different things 😕

[@reetusmeatus9096]

This is so true

[@evicaf4e]

Because we are begginers, we must try, try and try... the people you see gliding on skiis easily was once also learning and trying and falling. But to be able to learn new things is just awesome
