Honestly, I think that this entire conversation highlights a major problem that women have in our culture. Look at what we're saying. Not all of us, but most of us:
We're not good enough.
No matter how good we are, it's still not enough.
When we are presented with videos, or pictures, or mirror-images of ourselves, we criticize and look for the flaws, and then we stress out about them..
I'm not saying "you" either - because every post in this thread where someone is saying "I hate it when I have to look at this stuff too" is something I, myself, have thought, possibly multiple times a day. At bad times, multiple times an hour.
I think this is a Being A Woman problem. I think - based on a lot of experience - that when average (i.e., not professional athletes)
males are presented with images of themselves skiing, for example, their first thought, regardless of what is happening on the screen, is "Wow! I look awesome!!" and that their second thought is to start itemizing all of the great stuff they're doing, or that they imagine they're doing. Pros are different - they have a lot of money riding on identifying all the flaws and fixing them. I'm talking about your Average Joe in the base lodge, or even the Average Joe over on epicski. They might, after some prompting by an instructor, notice that their turns are uneven or something, but that's not the first place they go like it is with us.
It's like that
Real Beauty video where women are describing themselves to a forensic artist, and then someone else describes the same woman, and you get totally different pictures.
Contesstant, I'd bet that if you linked us to your video, you'd find that the responses would be "Yeah, if I look hard, I can kind of see what you're talking about, but I don't think it's nearly as bad as you believe it to be, and more importantly, look at this awesome thing and that awesome thing that you were doing!!"
