Customer Reviews of Breakthrough on Skis II: Bumps & Powder Simplified

decent for bumps, better for powder, overall disappointing
Lito's has a very "friendly" teaching style, but I have several major complaints about this DVD: <
> <
>1. I don't think Lito's that good of a bump skier. If you're looking for a video to help with visualization, this is not the one for you. He has a minute or two of footage from other (excellent) bump skiers, but most of the skiing is from him, and he's an average bump skiier. As he says in the DVD, he's had an ACL repaired, and he's over 50 years old, so it's you're looking for the fast, tight, balanced technique of pro mogul skiers (as I was hoping), look elsewhere. <
>2. There are numerous ways to ski the bumps. Lito primarily only covers two of them: in the trough, and over the shoulder. He covers both of these in relation to speed control and picking a line. <
>3. Lito touches only briefly about "picking a line" when bump skiing, and he doesn't give any tips for this crucial step. This is one technique that is difficult to master, and I would've liked more tips. <
> <
>There were some nice parts of this DVD: <
>1. The content & instruction was well organized. <
>2. Discussion of anticipation, and some drills for how to do anticipated turns <
>3. Powder tips: extension of legs into the snow to complete the turn; also use of arm lifting "trick" to equalize weight in heavy powder. <
>4. Some beautiful powder skiing pictures. <
>5. Lito has a very friendly, well-paced teaching style. <
> <
>Oh, well off to look elsewhere for a more ultimate bump/mogul DVD. I would really love to find a Sybervision video for bumps/moguls.

Good stuff
I've seen other videos that explain how expert mogul skiers fly through the bumps, but that didn't exactly improve my skills. This video instead focuses on an easier and practical approach. 5 stars.
