What does Releasing the ski mean?
To change the pressure on the outside ski from one designed to change direction to a pressure meant to carry momentum across the hill.

I call it “little bend”. When I have direction change, i can “release” the COM from the inside by giving a little bend on the outside ski. This introduces a glide and maintains momentum Into transition. Play with the rate of little bend of the outside led; this move is awesome on ice!!! No chatter! And smooth

I like your terminology for these stivot turns, where a float is used at the top of the turn to redirect. On your ride phase you can try an active pull rather than a gradual diminishing of push. You'll instantly snap across over to the new edge. Delaying the snap gives a full ride phase, while an early snap can be done immediately out of the sting phase. This offers playful variation in the turns.

Sounds slightly terrifying. I’ll start out in the flats

I think a helpful distinction between the 'sting' and 'ride' phases of the turn is where the pressure is coming from. In this style of turn, you bring your feet up closer to your center of mass through the release/transition phase, and generate pressure from the energy created by your feet and legs moving under your CoM and slamming the edges into the snow in the 'Sting' - where the skis are bending because you are pushing on them with big muscle groups. Then as you move through the fall line, gravity starts to take over and generate more of the forces required to bend the skis through the 'Ride' phase, which can feel like an unloading. Great vid.

Спасибо за ваши наставления. Взял для себя полезное от ваших видео. Порой подплуживал при перекантовке, теперь применяю быстрое приставление внутренней ноги(лыжи), к внешней(опорной). Получается и быстрее и более красиво. Правда на хороших скоростях, лыжи и так перекантовываю одновременно в воздухе. Нравятся ваши видео, и ваши детки молодцы, достойная замена растёт!

I call it- little bend- where the outside leg begins to bend when I want to release the turn and enter transition. this causes COM to release from inside of the turn and move over the BOS. very good move for ice, since you regulate the edge : play with the rate of the little bend of the outside leg I use this move when I want to start to release the turn prior to transition

@@suzannef5 that is a much more eloquent way of describing it. You certainly get it, and I will be keeping the “little bend” in my back pocket. Thank you

Used your stuff in Breck this week and i could really feel the sting. Felt like a wip from centrifugal force! As i felt that wip i actually used it go quickly to float and reverse my angles un the opposite direction. That force at the end of each turn aided me to rip in the opposite direction.

Здравствуйте. Уже четвертый сезон пытаюсь проехать на бедре по склону, как это делает Тед Лигети, Рейли Макглашен, Пол Лоренц к примеру. Это упражнение - траверса с глубоким наклоном к склону очень люблю. Помогает потом делать глубокие, закрытые, фанкарвинговые почти повороты. Круто! Но достать до склона бедром так и не могу. Не хватает сантиметров десять. Рука гребет по склону. Центробежная сила выкидывает наружу. Мешает внутренняя нога. Были неприятные падения. Лыжи, к слову, настроены классно, держат хорошо. Они не виноваты. Буду пробовать ваше упражнение, только не рукой, а палочкой с гардой(защитой) опираться. Так, наверно, безопасней будет. Чем можете помочь, посоветовать к продвижению моей цели.

I love that this is your goal. More angulation is all about how much pressure you are putting to the outside ski. Your focus should be how much power and how smooth you can put pressure to the outside ski. If you are trying to go inside as the goal, it will not work

@scollyutube 5 ай бұрын

So your point here is making turns in a narrower corridor than actually just letting the skis carve an arc through their natural radius i.e transitions with the skis on the ground 100% of the time?

@skidadTV 5 ай бұрын

There is still a significant float. This video is about the switch from sting to ride. 2 different pressures

@elliottsjewelers2043 5 ай бұрын

I like holding on to my turn a little longer, I believe its a little more stylistic, if thats a word. Doesn't matter as long as we are having fun, and that in life is what its all about. Everyone has there own style.

What I’m struggling with is the “bases up the hill”. That feeling that your body is moving down the hill into the next turn and your new outside ski is not underneath you, and on edge and. The worry that you’ll simply fall over - but the forces will prevent this. Can’t really articulate this properly.

@skidadTV 4 ай бұрын

Bases up the hill is a super advanced maneuver that requires incredible balance and a ton of patience. It is only realistic on green terrain for most. Even experts only get in on blues. Focus on pressure to the outside from apex to completion and you should have better results

What. Starts. The. FLOAT? Pop? "Ride Release"?? The end of RIDE...the skis release energy...that the legs must absorb (avalement) to maintain balance...

Hi can you make video how to train sting before turn. I learned to ski with clean edges from start to finish and a dirty edge at the beginning of the turn is kind of scary for me, especially if the surface of the slope has soft parts.

Think of it as a mini hockey stop across the hill, then moving forward out of it

@skidadTV 4 ай бұрын

The wall is directly down the fall line. Practice sliding with different intensities. Settle in on the one that is the easiest in the snow conditions of the day. It will always be slightly different so just stick with it and build your feel

@@skidadTV As i do hockey stop I always overdoing and my tails slides down to much then I move forward but unweighting the skis in the way so I can slide front tips of the skis down to point the fall line and then catching the edge. Need more practisece.

These are a bit philosophical things, as turn kind of have to be too long, as it turns skis and legs under upper body to nex turn on the other side. In "perfect" turn this is not happening.
