These are professional free-style skiers showing what they're made of in this very high quality and compelling video. Can you imagine how much practice and patience it takes to develop this kind of skill, to say nothing of the courage it takes to actually do this kind of stuff?
I've always been kind of partial to winter sports in general, and I've always been in awe of world-class skiing. I started to post a video of a young girl of six who is a pretty decent snowboarder for her age, as I thought that was in keeping with the spirit of Imbolc in it's own right. As children, we have potential which is really unimaginable, and sadly, most of us don't even begin to tap into it to nearly the fullest extent.
However, I opted instead for this, which shows what can come of the long-term result of consistent and dedicated practice and hard work. It is indeed a form of magic in its own right.
Incidentally, the sound seems to have been removed from this video for some reason, despite a caption which declares a song in dedication to somebody. But really, it's just as well, and would probably be a distraction anyway. The skiing is awesome enough it needs no accompaniment.
By the way, notice the tarot card readings spaced at various intervals, including at the beginning. The person who made this film obviously know his stuff.
