"If you're not falling, you're not trying!"

Downhill skis have a long history and national popularity. The downhill ski movement has taken off in the last five decades and created an entire industry. The following explores when and where downhill skis originated, the multiple types and functions of downhill skis and just why exactly these narrow boards bring so much joy to those that love winter.
If you want to be a good skier you have to remember just one rule - you have to work hard - that means a lot of skiing practice and not forgetting to have fun. You already know: if you want to have good results you have to enjoy what you are doing, you have to love it.
I have been skiing since I was 3 years old. I have been on the world circuit most of my life and have been in the Latvian national ski team. I can honestly say that my skiing team Traverss-V is like a big family; the saying - one for all and all for one - describes us perfectly. The basic things that connect us are joy and fun which we gain from skiing. As we all want to have good results in this field we work hard! And the thought that always gives us power and order to proceed is "If you're not falling, you're not trying!".
