| Motassist sponsors the GB Telemark ski team |

Motassist are proud to report that they have sponsored the successful European tour of the Great Britain Telemark ski team.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with telemark skiing, I have enclosed a brief synopsis of the rapidly growing variant of this winter sport;
"Telemark skiing is a term used for skiing using the Telemark turn, which is a technique first used by Sondre Norheim. It is also known as "free heel skiing." Telemark turns are led with the heel flat on the outside ski, while the inside ski is pulled beneath the skier's body with a flexed knee and raised heel. The skis are staggered but not quite parallel, and 50% to 80% of the body weight is distributed on the outer ski, depending on snow conditions. The relationship between the two skis often is metaphorically understood as one longer, but curved ski. The reason for this metaphor is that it is this curve that makes the turn ratio of the skier and defines the relationship between the two skis."

Motassist provided the GB team with 2 very smart and, more importantly, roomy, cars in the tour of the circuit saving endless drama with luggage allowance on flights and the prohibitive expense of hiring vehicles in each country.
