[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This world cup athlete is performing a very difficult jump: a FRONT FLIP combined with a "TRUCK DRIVER" position!
It was the first time I,ve seen that.
What you should know is that he performed that arial in a mogul course!!!
Those guys ski a 250 meter course within 25-30 seconds (2 bumps/second) and they have to perform 2 jumps like that...

A great show last Jan 26 at Mont Gabriel in the North of Montreal. It is a shame that only few thousens of spectator took advantage of that great FREE ski show/competition... If only journalists would take few minutes to promote other sport than millionnaire's hockey games... those athletes wouldn't have to fight to find sponsors. enough editorial... I hope you appreciate that picture and, next year, join me there and enjoy the show.

Hi Richard - what to say?? Great sports shot, you've caught the ideal moment and presented it very well. Good note as well, excellent job all round!

Salut Richard!

Excellent timing pour bien saisir cette figure . La netteté et les couleurs sont super. Pas facile de promouvoir en effet ces évènements.

La fille d'un de mes collègues au bureau fait partie de l'équipe canadienne de ski acrobatique ! mlle Robichaud. Peut-être que tu la connait !

Amitiés,
Robert
