Double Pole – Dominique & Antoine

Course Overview:

This set of videos is different from most of our expert demos. We took the opportunity of having two male athletes available at the same time to allow for side by side comparisons, giving you an opportunity to see technique consistencies and stylistic differences.

Most of these videos were filmed at Silver Star Mountain Resort, British Columbia, December 2017. The final video was filmed May 2017 at Sunshine Meadows in Banff, Alberta.
