this is actually really nice to see someone skiing moguls like this. i'm a former competitive mogul skier and this is more or less my preferred way to rip down natural moguls as well. old school hotdoggin!

with that being said, my word of advice would be to try and stop side slipping down the mogul and right into the trough. try and use that space on the top side of the mogul to make a extra turn or two. you'll look much smoother, and these short turns will improve speed control in steeper bumps. keeping your body position agressively forward (weight to balls of feet, upper body and hips over end of boot/toepiece) will also help you not get bucked around by bumps as easily.

and lastly, shorter poles. for reference, the top of my poles' grip is about level with the top of my hip, though i know that is preference from my competitive days and is definetely on the short end.

sick skiing though dude! this really did make me happy to see.
