No not at all. It's easy and they are a very good company. Because he had snowboard boots I assumed I would have to start slowly hence him saying no snowplough.
Its easy. When they say go just point your skis down hill staight and go. The canopy just lifts you off. Only thing you need is your nerve as you build up a bit of speed with a guy straped to your back.
They are a great company. I've got a viosport Cam3. Enjoy the camera mate. They are great toys. I own a ski/snowboard shop and distrubute a couple of new US brands. I'm hoping to get a page on our website for people to post vids. Make sure you get some good footage.
