Summary

Freestyle skiing is a new dimension, a new way of thinking about moving on skis. A mixture of ski ballet and acrobatics. It developed in America where it was known in the early days as "hot dogging", and grew in popularity all over the world in the late 1970s.

In this publication Randy Wieman, inter-national freestyle champion, clearly explains the techniques of freestyle skiing and with the aid of dozens of graphic, step-by-step photographs explains the tricks, from the most basic to the more sophisticated, that make up a freestyler's repertoire. Spectacular colour shots of freestyle skiing all over the world, chapters on the freestyle story and equipment plus helpful hints make this a complete guide to the most exciting new sport in a decade.
