Joel Howley - Ask me Anything

[JoelHowley]

Hi Ballers, I have started doing some Q&As on Insta and YouTube. If you have some questions hit me up.

 

Thank you all for the kind comments over the years. I am a big fan of this forum and its regular contributors. I read the forum far more than I post.

 

Joel.

What changes do you make to ski in challenging conditions like Moomba and the Worlds? What are the main differences in technique and timing to be able to deal with rollers, chop, and heavy wind?

 

Thanks for posting.

How did you come up with that "interesting" boot configuration that you use? Snow boots, correct? Isn't that incredibly heavy?

[UWSkier]

You spend a lot of time in Korea where it seems they've really driven a lot of excitement and participation from age groups that don't ski elsewhere. It seems they've captured a much more fun, social element and applied that to skiing. What should we in the west be learning from them to help drive expansion of the sport here?

Does your front boot have a bottom or your foot/liner sits on the top of the ski? What are advantages of your your binding configuration? Looked at it again, there’s a plate riveted to the boot right?

What do you find scarier, Australia's huge spiders or their deadly snakes?

[MickeyThompson]

All great questions but Joel said he would do Q&A on Instagram.

Nice Vids @JoelHowley ... Where do you see Aussie skiing - does the future look bright or bleak?

[JoelHowley]

Thanks Crew. Good questions. I will put them all in the next vid.

@JoelHowley, did you post the video with the questions from this thread? I have not been able to locate it.

Thanks tons Joel!!! You are the man. I really appreciate the help.

 

For those wondering, His Description on this video said to submit to him for feedback, so I did down in the comments, give him the link to my youtube video.

 

 

He then put together his video, embedded mine, and gave me feedback here at this video.

 

 

Super awesome. Thanks again Joel!!!

I sent a vid to Joel and a couple days later there it was on YouTube with him giving me some great skiing tips. It is so Awesome that he does this and his videos are pretty entertaining.

[JoelHowley]

thanks crew, sorry about bashing your ski Manaze, haha, I tried to resist but it looks way too soft.

[escmanaze]

Dude, don't even think twice. Honesty is ALWAYS the best policy. I absolutely appreciate the honesty.

 

Imagine how sad life would be if I missed out on a terrific possible opportunity to be a better skier because you felt you had to spare me some feelings.

 

Absolutely no apologies necessary. All love. Thanks tons.

How do I send Joel a copy of a video? I don’t have Instagram, but I do have drop box.
