Chris Rose is a racing buddy from upstate (true upstate) NY and if you know how much I am into mountain bike racing then you will also know his passion for Nordic ski racing. I turn to him for advice as we all know I do not ski but go out and grind caloric energy into the snow. Really I seem to go no where at times.
Disclaimer: I am about to post his words and don’t even think about emailing me to propose he may be wrong or take judgment with his advice. He is skate ski god to me and if you don’t like it go eat bat crap. If you want advice from a world cupper
