Great Video...
Sybervison presents the skiers (Husted & Ryman) perfect turns from all angles, in slow motion and reverse photography so the viewer can see how all body parts work together in linking short and medium radius turns on moderate, steep, mogul and crud conditions. The Killy and Black Diamod tapes are both excellent. Even though the tapes were made 15 years ago the form is timeless. Watch this video several times a week during the ski season to implant the image of perfect turns in your head. Ski and watch again. You will improve. Add to this video Ellen Post Fosters Skiing and the Art of Carving which describes the subtle differences with the new shaped Skis to make your collection of ski training videos complete. If you are just starting to ski start with the Sybervison Fundamental tape which is done much the same way as the more advanced Killy and Black Diamond tapes. It starts with walking, gliding and wedge turns and moves into parrallel skiing. Addressing one of the comments below. It does not provide instructions on riding lifts.

I LIKE IT!!!
Black Diamond Skiing shows 2 skiers performing a variety of turns in sync with the movie. The idea is to watch the movie repeatedly which is supposed to train your muscles to repeat the moves. I have found this to be true, but you must watch this film A LOT. Like "Viewer from Colorado", I came to this site to purchase this movie. "Horsepla" may be correct, but since I have been skiing for 20 years, I haven't found the basics to have changed that much due to equipment.

Great for that plateaued intermediate skier
Watching nearly perfect technique in a variety of conditions repeatedly with a distinctive soundtrack is a wonderful way to 'see yourself doing it in your mind.' The effects on my next day of skiing, especially in a bowl of windblown powder and crud, were awesome. Fact is, I came to Amazon looking so I can buy a replacement copy....I still think an envious ski buddy hid it or borrowed it!

It must be too old.
I've never seen the video, but the rating in the review by the lady above doesn't seem justified. She doesn't make any sense. Equipment has changed dramatically in the last 13 years. Technique has changed too.

I Fell alot on Beginner Trails
After watching this video, I fell on Beginners trails. I also almost died getting on and off the lift. I should sue the producer.
