  Anyone Can Be An Expert Skier 2: Powder, Bumps, and Carving Average Rating: 3.5 Total Reviews: 3 More Information Not the best, but helpful.  On: 2006-11-02The videos by Harold Harb are good, but by no means are they the best. The main problems are that Harolds videos lack good photography and are often filled with fluff material as filler. Harold is clearly an expert skier and has revolutionized ski instruction by the introduction of new techniques, but his teaching on video does not do justice to his expertise. I think this is more the fault of poor decisions made in planning the photography and editing the material. The video is worth owning, but there are other video instruction resources that are superior to this one. By comparison, this video seems dated as if it was shot by a non-professional with home video equipment and not up to the standards that are possible with a good photographer and director and high quality video production facilities. Teaches his own technique  On: 2006-01-03Be warned this DVD focuses on a "better" technique, so doesnt necessarily reinforce conventional technique. Theres some good in it, but its a little disappointing. Also what we watched could hardly be considered "Expert". Unique and highly effective method of ski instruction  On: 2004-10-31Haralds method shows you how to use balance and gravity to carve your way down the slopes. Its completely different than whats taught at resort ski schools. Those traditional methods are for tourists and lead you to dead end skills. In the past, Haralds ski racing programs have created olympic medal winners. He takes that experience and modifies it for recreational skiers. It works! The funny thing is, Haralds method is 10 times easier than the traditional method. If you want to experience the beautiful feeling of carving and using balance, get this DVD. It will re-invent the sport for you. |
