- Return Of The Turn
Please make this a bump sticker. I mean bumper sticker.
Dam right!!!!!
So I'm a snowboarder and stumbled upon this video. Why is this fun? It looks horrific time on your knees. Is it literally just because it's harder than a groomed run?
@@dan.r9220 snowboarders with bumps even harder and better. I'm speaking from experience. Granted, Jake Burton did not design the snowboard for bumps Maryland for Backcountry and powder. But they turned out to be a versatile platform for virtually any condition on or off area.
@@sorenwolff4954 right, but why do people find doing either sport on this type of terrain fun? That's my question.
@@dan.r9220 There are some people in this world and from my experience quite a few who find great satisfaction in challenging themselves with new experiences and overcoming obstacles both mental and physical like bumps, to be very gratifying. If one is choosing to ride lift access areas and consciously choose not to ride and bumps you might as well not ride lift access areas. Because from my experience a few days after any snow storm most areas look like a golf ball. And once again you are limiting yourself to the train you can ride on very few days. Simply put you're limiting experiences that life offers you though they may be challenging.
Anyone can jump off a cliff, you don't even have to know HOW to ski, few can pound down through moguls. You guys make it look beautiful, great skiing in great conditions. There's a few runs they never groom at my local resort, Mt. Rose, and one of them is right under the lift and like how Marcus answered the question, "Why do you ski?", "for the guys in the chair above me". You're performing for them and you make the best performance out there. You're an opera singer of the slopes or Grace Vanderwaal with her ukulele! Keep it real!
I skied mt rose my whole life until this year, reno local?
“It’s not that you can’t ski moguls. It’s that you can’t ski, and the moguls just show it.”
“If you think that moguls suck, it’s not the moguls that suck…. It’s something else” is the funniest and truest line from this vid
There are generations of Mary Jane bumpers who greatly appreciate this! One of the best ROTT thus far.
Great episode, but Marcus needs to come out east! I think it would be a Return of the Turn classic. We never have lost our love for a perfect turn on less than perfect snow!
Would love to see him at Mad River Glen. Ski it if you can!
“Skiing people’s fears and emotions” 😂
Like the great Glen Plake said In the legendary film fist full of moguls. You can buy a groomer turn with carving skis, you can buy a powder turn with fat skis🤪 but you can’t buy a ski that makes you a better mogul skier. If you are not in balance, you can’t ski moguls. One may think they ski in balance, moguls let you know if you are!
My K2 Silencers are as close as I’ve found to buying a ski for bumps.
K2 KVC comps!
I'm no Johnny Mosley!! Come to Whitefish we'll ski some fog!
TAT'S!!!!!!! Tatsuno's skiing just gets smoother. Love how silent his body is.
Nice work gents!
Once Upon a Time Mary Jane was only for skis longer than 210cm and the moguls were HUGE and FAST!...very memorable runs had there with some very fast skiers, many on 223cm!!
It would have been nice to grow up during that era
They're still huge and fast, we just ride way fatter skis in them now. Gave up some length for some width.
So much stoke. I suck at moguls, but this makes me want to keep trying to suck less.
You chose the wrong day to film this episode. The bumps were too soft on this day.
Wrong day to film, perfect day to be there
It’s CO, the snow and bumps are always soft. Some days just softer! The Jane rips.
That was a beautiful thing to see!
I never really 'got' moguls until I took a 1:1 lesson at Winter Park to learn the right way to ski them. I'm told they have the best moguls, best mogul skiers and best instructors and since then I've loved and seek out mogul runs.
Come to Bumpapalooza
I had so much fun skiing with you both! The snow was epic! Let's plan a repeat this season!!!
So cool to see you in this! Love your channel.
Usually, Bump skiers are the best skiers on any mountain!! Especially old school bump skiers..
Marcus come to Mad River Glen!
Outhouse is relentless!
It’s been years and years for me, but back when I was at my max, Mary Jane was so worth the trip from Vermont. Every bump skier should go 👍👍
This is year number 30 for me living here in WP! SEND SNOW! Good to see Freddie in this vid....
Wooo! Another ROTT masterpiece, thanks for another excellent hype piece!
Drunken Frenchman........my fave. No Pain, No Jane.
So beautiful I want to cry….
OR GET MY FREAKIN SKIS ON AND HIT THE BUMPS AND JUMPS!!!!
Return of the Turn MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE!!!
My home hill growing up. Love that place!!
Can’t remember how many times I’ve watched this lol love love it so much
That shredding guitar at the end!! Makes me want to rip some bumps!
You are truly the most underrated youtuber. I’ve watched all your videos and I loved every one.
It was a pleasure to meet you a the Jane marcus
Freddy Mooney?? Legend.
my brother and i skied the renowned mary jane mogul run back in 1977 /while we were at a elbert series fis gs/sl on the winter park race hill./ the run was a challenge and really put you on your centre balance point. watching the skiers on this video reminded me of "the performers" my favourite style of mogul skiing☺.
I lovevthis series. I LOVE the bumps. I miss they days after a fresh dump a group of us would go out and set lap after lap making zipper lines. We were all on skinny straight skis
Great video!
Gonna put Winter Park on my bucket list, snow quality looks amazing.
Mad respect for pushing so fast through moguls! Old ski racers but I wouldnt be able ski even half as fast....and stylish while doing it....no way in hell lol!
Super sick!
Bumps!!
Awwwsome episode. I slightly prefer the previous one, but the sheer look from birds eye's view makes this one special. Would be awesome to ski there (that's what I say, not my knees...)!
yes ! real skiers skiing keep inspiring us!
Dude ! Tats is a fin beautiful skier to watch too !!!!!!! Sickkkkk
Nice, moguls for life🤣, great vid!
"...get away from me creep..."
Brings me back to when I had functional knees!!!
Old days, sun valley had good moguls, telluride has the biggest moguls…there are good moguls else where too…
Bumps riding technic is so similar to modern racing technic. In racing/carving you do a "virtual" bump when changing the edges.
In my dreams i can ride bumps as seen here. :)
An ounce of Mary Jane is worth a pound of Aspen.
Grande Marcus!!!!!!
winter season is coming babyy
Excellent!!
Love that at the end - If you think the moguls suck; it's not the moguls that suck. LOL!!!
these dudes make mary jane seen alot harder than it actually is
Without training moguls when I was young, I would never be the skier I’m today. I believe if you can master a step icy moguls run you will make it down everywhere
These moguls are intense on a snowboard haha but so fun when you get that right flow
So funny my cousins were literally just talking about how they go to Mary Jane for moguls last night at a Christmas party 🎊
Cool flic Nice turns
Yes!
5:45 Those really are the best dreams!! 🤣
Epic! At our resorts in the Alps you really rarely find moguls, everything is groomed.
That was fun.
Yaaaaayyyy!
Ok, another resort added to my bucket list. Just need to find my self a pair of skinnier skis. Gonna go out to the garage to see if I can find my old pair of K2 Gyrator, or even better, the Dynastar Assault 😍 Thanks!!!
Word is out that Blizzard Thermo V20 are the ones to have. Made for the best in the world.
Skiing real moguls (not shitty zipperlines) is the most challenging human sporting endeavor there is. There's nothing else that demands more in terms of spontaneity, ingenuity, and full-body fluidity
Alex Honnold has entered the chat.
Wowza!
I learned to whip my board and managed to get comfy on mj in Winter Park. ♡
When are you gonna do a telemark episode? 😍😍
these guys are insane
Ride big chair my Norquay
Man if only I had whatever skis he had I could also ski bumps like that.
Tats is an epic bump skier. To be so smooth and quiet in the Jane's punishing bumps is amazing.
No question. Bump skiers that can do it rip. Nelson Carmichael steamboat 93’
Moguls don't suck. Well, icy moguls kinda suck but, there they are.
So sick
Epic skiing! Which blizzard skis are best for moguls ? :)
The ski used in video is the Bonafide i guess.
@@sir_bumpalot these are with two sheets of metal. Are these too stiff for moguls? I guess for those guys with that level of skiing it doesn't matter which skis to use.
Marcus was probably on the Bonafides but his ski buddy might have been on the Rustler 9 if I saw the color of the top sheet on his skis. If you’re not a film star super skier like Marcus the Rustler 9 with it’s single Titanal layer that is cutout in the shovel and tail with generous rocker and 92-94 mm waist depending on ski length is a fun ski In bumps, trees and soft snow. My favorite Blizzard for this type of terrain at Alta, UT.
We were both on Blizzard Brahmas. Great ski for those conditions!
Anything with the strength to power through a mistake, but the quickness to help avoid that mistake in the first place, works great. I've got 4 sets of skis, and all 4 have advantages and disadvantages in the bumps. Your style will be slightly different on any ski, but the reality of moguls is that there is nowhere to hide, so whatever ski you have, you just have to try your best and that's gonna do.
Rippper!
Fuck yes!
Another epic EP!
Question, are those rustler 10's Marcus is on? 🧐
Everyone is on Brahma
@@returnoftheturn3534 awesome, thanks!
Rustlers! Mercy...
@@returnoftheturn3534 could have sworn I saw a dark top sheet in there and guessed and was further awed that might mean Bonafides. All 88's or any 82's used?
Ignore. 4:58. 88's.
“Moguls is what we’re known for…moguls is what people come to Mary Jane to ski…”
Moguls ARE what we’re known for…moguls ARE…
Anyone know what kind of skis they're on?
Some one play fortune son
I’m confused, isnt there a run called Mary Jane at winter park, and is Arapaho a-basin
Mary Jane is an area in Winter Park Resort. However, the run mary Jane is just a run people take from the main area of wibter park, to mary Jane.
While I have full respect and awe for the athleticism of modern world cup competition mogul skiers, the uniform bumps and homogenized runs have, for me at least, lost the essence of mogul skiing. Mogul skiing should be on the edge, ragged, full of improvisation and spontaneity. It embodies what shredding is all about. This video perfectly captures what pure bump skiing is. Like Marcus in the opening scene, it turns your head and leaves you no choice but to join in.
Lol moguls
"mecca" moguls 🤔
Not even one percent of all skiers can ski moguls And moguls are 60% of every mountain
Shitty skiers make shitty moguls, but good skiers ski shitty moguls with ease.
Sorry, but Killington Vermont is the Mogul capital of the world
Mary ok, sun valley, telluride better,
Please wear helmet and be a good role model for young kids.
Why, helmets have no functional value & are only a comfort blanket for the nervous.
@@Benzknees not to mention another piece to sell to the masses. And make sure you replace it every five years as the manufacturers suggest because as we all well know, styrofoam deteriorates so quickly, right?
@@FlimFlamvanHam - I've read they 'need' replacing every 3-4yrs as UV degrades the polycarb shell & oxygen embrittles the EPP foam interior (as you say the same as old styrofoam does). It's a real money spinner!
Please don't have kids who disrespect personal responsibility and individual liberty. Helmets should be choices, not mandates.
Wellll..If moguls were always this soft and well formed, it would be a lot more fun. Rock hard bumps with no rhythm to them just aren’t my idea of a good time…good technique builders, but fun?…Nah!
Stop all grooming! Everywhere!
Why is everyone hyped about two guys stuck in the back seat, going too fast. Let’s see some real skill.
Sean O, wanna ski some bumps?
what's your address? we will send you a sticker
They looked pretty balanced to me. Better than too slow.
With today's ski's that's all anyone does. Sit back and let the ski do the work. That's why I love bumps, they make it clear who can really rip. Ps, these guys are ripping.
I BELIEVE (the hype); This is the essence of balanced, dynamic, athletic, joyous, skiing! 🤩
