u/DeepSpaceNebulae 3d ago

It’s okay, she’s all right

23

u/Gibbo1988 3d ago

She’s definitely not all left

u/LittleLostDoll 3d ago

I knew she was allright i just was curious about the side she used to hold the pole being on the same side as her leg

u/Reddithasmyemail 3d ago

You might have missed it. 

She's all right. Right arm. Right leg. I think it was a pun.

u/Cultural_Dust 3d ago

It doesn't seem logical, but holding the inside edge is much easier than the outside edge. So having the pole and ski on the same side is actually not a bad thing.

u/The-Big-Hairy 3d ago

Seems her arm and leg aren't the only things missing..

u/LittleLostDoll 3d ago

?

u/The-Big-Hairy 3d ago

The joke, you missed the joke.

3

u/LittleLostDoll 3d ago

so it would seem

5

u/IBarricadeI 3d ago

She’s alright = she’s all right, because she has a right arm and leg but no left arm or leg.

u/no_anti-black-racism 2d ago

That’s how bad ass she is. I didn’t even notice she was missing an arm

u/NobodyJustBrad 3d ago

Appears so!

u/ihatebaboonstoo 3d ago

I’m sick of these far right athletes.

u/Vols_Extreme4370 3d ago

Oh that was so awesome! Way to go, lady!

u/Dawgy66 3d ago

That's freaking impressive!!

u/Rook_James_Bitch 3d ago

Absolute Legend.

One wrong ankle movement or muscle twitch and she's getting a broken leg and crashing horribly.

Guts.

u/5th-timearound 3d ago

I’m not even high and it brought a thug tear to my eye

u/I_BK_Nightmare 2d ago

What makes a tear a thug tear?

u/5th-timearound 2d ago

If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.

u/Dawn_Piano 2d ago

Same and I don’t understand why

11

u/mezog001 3d ago

I can’t do that with two legs

9

u/joosehead94 3d ago

That leg is strong A F!

7

u/Own_Wolverine4773 3d ago

Unless you have raced before, you can’t understand the kind of forces pushing on her knee! It’s extraordinary she can do it

u/Over_Cash9601 3d ago

HE’s SKIING ON ONE SKI!!!!

u/DrunkenSloth 3d ago

I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS!!!!

u/TrickleUp_ 3d ago

Legitimate question, does actually going on one ski improve speed at the expense of control?

7

u/invent_or_die 3d ago

Hell yes it's insane. That was epic. 92km/hr.

3

u/BelligerentGnu 3d ago

I mean, it is, but downhill skiers regularly break 100.

7

u/AspieWithAGrudge 3d ago

They're heavier with those unnecessary extra legs.

5

u/StooveGroove 2d ago

Having half the edges for cornering has gotta be a pretty freaking huge disadvantage...

Probably takes more from the rest of her body to maintain balance, too.

This is nuts.

5

u/aWeegieUpNorth 3d ago

I believe this is what they call positive self talk.

5

u/nerdboy5567 3d ago

Nice try, that's a snowboard

2

u/averagemaleuser86 3d ago

What happened to her arm/leg?

5

u/SRV87 3d ago

she lost them in a skiing accident

1

u/ParticularProfile795 3d ago

Was hoping for a "mfer" to be sprinkled in there...

1

u/Rsupersmrt 3d ago

Absolutely amazing.. I'm.no physicist or a skier for that matter, but I wonder if just one ski might have less traction than two

1

u/Klutzy-Chain5875 3d ago

I can't even ski on 4 skis.

u/Onyourleft1312 3d ago

I wish I was half as brave and confident. Get it!

I admire people like this!

u/MathematicianFew5882 3d ago

Forward! Forward!

we are all glad she didn’t start going backwards instead.

1

u/SweetWolfgang 3d ago

My leg felt the lactic burn before she even started. Good on her!

1

u/LaserJetVulfpeck 3d ago

Is it one legid or is it one leg’d?

1

u/Hot_Specific3359 3d ago

I barely can stand on my two

1

u/Early_Lion6138 3d ago

Awesome technique she always has her weight on the outside ski.

1

u/Blue_chalk1691 3d ago

That's scary, depending on one foot and arm

1

u/Busy_Information_289 2d ago

Only half the friction…

1

u/fantastic_wreck123 2d ago

she's only 18? what the hell am i doing with my life

1

u/ZealousidealBread948 2d ago

Perfect example of the USA beating Russia whilst stood on one leg 😏

u/alfazeroneko01 2d ago

At least you don't have to worry about doing the splits

u/Tjeetje 3d ago

Abled people forget that people are other a disability are used to their handicap and most of the times even don’t know otherwise.

u/qgmonkey 3d ago

So she takes the business jet to Aspen?

u/scrotesmacgrotes 3d ago

She's kind of riding a skinny snowboard

u/aberroco 2d ago

Btw, I would assume that a person like this could achieve faster speed than a normal person - having one ski means less friction. Albeit, not sure how much friction skis are doing compared to air.
