You've heard of freestyle, free lunch and get out of jail free. Now we have free heels. Telemark skiing isn't what it was few years ago. New equipment has created a new sport, and we look at the latest tele style as NATO (North American Telemark Assn) instructor Biff Russell conducts a clinic at Belleayre Mountain, New York's Winter Snowpark. Another RadxSports video. Follow and interact with us on Facebook. www.facebook.com Script: We've heard of free lunch and get out of jail free, but what happens when you free your heel? The answer is telemark skiing, which is a whole new approach to sliding down a mountain. Bindings are the most obvious difference between telemark and other types of skis. The free heel requires a completely different movement to control the ski from the fixed heel alpine variety. Russel turns the mountain into a classroom where the teacher points out subtle movements required for good results. After the standing-still instruction it's off for the slopes and new challenges. This one is to ski backwards, or switch, and execute 360 degree turns. It's like dance class, only the students fall when they don't get the steps right. Skiing steep trails requires good straight ahead form. It's not just high edge set and speed, it's about staying in control. Like we always say, turn shape and balance are critical. And to reinforce that point the clinic hits the bumps.

Loyalty explores the revolutionary youth telemark movement while also introducing some of the most profound telemark skiing on the planet. The flick blends appearances from TSM Crew, a first-of-its kind athlete/content creation team including the likes of JT Robinson and Weston D, along with performances by innovative newcomers like Kate Hourihan, Tony Gill and Dylan Garner. "This La Nina year made for one of the longest winters I can remember," Madsen says. "The powder just kept on coming." In scenes both on and off-piste, the film showcases the sport's most avant-garde moves in the deep powder and in the park. "One of my favorite days this year was filming Dylan Garner doing tricks in the park that I've never seen before," Madsen adds.

A bunch of old movies put together to collect some old memories. All clips are taken from a Canon Powershot A620, with a resolution of 640x480. Crappy quality. Yes, back in the days this was what we had. The snow was pretty much the same, though. You will see a lot of telemark skiing. What some would call "laus hel". It's the best way to enjoy the mountains. Pretty much all clips are from the Hardanger region of Norway (on the west coast) - more specifically the small town Granvin or the surrounding area. Names of the places: Olastøl, Olsskavlen, Nesheimshorgi, Dosafjellet/Ingebjørgfjellet, Raundalsryggen, Oksen, Osa (Osafjellet). Music credits: Poison the Well - Slow Good Morning

Shot in 2002 during the World Cup Telemark Season. It was rather fun. Racing and shooting video is not always easy. But the passion is there so I did what it took. It's a wonderful, competitive circuit that is not so known around the world. But I feel telemark racing will someday be an Olympic event.
