Love Spot: n -- 1) the moment of rapture in skiing; 2) a fleeting, edgeless moment in a ski turn experienced by all great skiers and the rest of us, who do not step, stem, or hop into a turn; 3) the spot where becoming begins. I have to be honest-I stole the Clendenin Ski Method (CSM). The method was taken from watching and studying great skiers like Jean-Claude Killy, Stein Eriksen, Jonny Mosley, Andy Mill, Bode Miller, and Lindsey Vonn. One basic flaw separates most skiers from great skiers. We may look good on groomed terrain, but as soon as we get into bumps or any place on the ain that raises the hair on the back of our neck, all hell breaks loose. After a few turns we start fighting for control and look bad doing it. The initial focus of the CSM is to correct this flaw at turn initiation. When this instinctive habit is corrected, magic begins. Graduates control speed with aligned s, skiing is easier, less tiring, and looks a whole lot better. Our DVD starts with the One-Day Lesson where a couple of boomers go from groomers to black diamond bumps in one enchanting day. You will see the CSM Keys cure their 'flu.' Cured, both start floating through the "Love Spot "-skiing smooth, confident, and controlled in black-diamond bumps. "One-Day" is followed by six additional segments. Each segment begins with a 2-minute Keys to the Kingdom sequence aired on national television. Each introduction presents a bit of freestyle history with an educational slant. The educational slant is then enhanced with lesson footage creating ownership for the simple CSM Key to the Kingdom, the key to the delightful world of all-ain skiing. When we float in the Love Spot, our s are stacked, we have control, skiing is easier and safer, and we begin to dance in the Kingdom. John Clendenin Two-Time World Freestyle Champion
