The friction of going sideways slows you down along with the switch up

Finishing turns with a semi-Garland is certainly a valid tool in the toolbox. The technique in the video is with early initiation and power at the top of the turn makes the need for decelerating at the bottom of the turn unnecessary.

The turning is what slows you

Do you know his name? Indeed, that other youtube channel with him is great. I would definetly like to do some lessons with him.

HES A LEGEND

what? I kinda recognized the voice but he looks so much older!

True KZfaq - none of you have addressed the question - who is he?

@@flavioc5389 his name is Darren Turner and he’s a ski instructor based in Serre Chevalier

janice thammachat just be carefull man. I’m a alpine skiër, super G. But im not in a hugh classe. And i crashed 2 years ago very bad. Luckly i had a helmet on... Sorry for my English

Thredbo is a great resort as well as perisher

Perisher is quite impressive when all of the terrain is open and all the tows and lifts are spinning.The XC skiing there is good too.@@joshtonkin7684

happened a lot on my first time yesterday lmao, always ended up either falling backwards and basically sitting on the skiis having to tip myself ever and slow down grasping at snow or just instantly sliding with my skis downwards slowing me down, scary as hell when i couldnt slow down

Learn to ski Blue/ Intermediate slopes. All the kids and total newbies will thin out quite quickly.

Right? I can't believe I've never heard this until now.

Try to lift up the uphill ski when turning. That will teach you to use your downhill ski allowing better parallel turns. Once you get good at this feel free to not lift the uphill ski but still do parallel. Hope this helps!

Just let yourself fall over forward while splitting your ski tips to the side.

A tip is that u need to turn not hockey stop. I used to do it but I have been starting to change.

Just tilt against the gradient of the mountain in order to apply pressure on the outside of your skis

@@nebulavortexhd8007 There is quite a substantial difference between "the outside ski" and "the outside of your ski's". The first is the proper way, the latter is a crash. :)

Plant a pole, jump and turn 90 degrees landing like a j stop.

I have the same problem, but with my left foot. I got some custom insoles made to help correct pronation/supination of my legs, but have also noticed that I don’t lean forward as much with my left leg/shin in the boot, so I consciously make sure I do that now. I wouldn’t say it’s completely fixed the problem but it’s improved it a lot.

Do not push the turn. The fall line will pull your skis into the next turn. If you telemark ski then the lead change happens and then you initiate the next turn while keeping some weight on the back foot with the knees bent .Alpine skiing is all about weight transfer almost soley onto the down hill ski .

Lol🤣🤣

Yes but, How?

@@JB91710 Good question, thanks for asking All of the action is at the top of the turn. From twelve O'clock to nine(or three) this part is where you must overdrive the skis such the front half of the ski breaks out of the carve thus slowing down. At nine and three the skis are pointing straight down the fall line. If you engage a standard carve you're carrying momentum through this into the bottom half and depending on tail braking to do what should have been done in the top half. I agree with his assessment that rushing through the straight down into the braking second half will result in zed turns. But he basically advocates for rounded zed turns without an(my) antidote.

Tell me you can’t actually ski by posting unintelligible twaddle on every ski instruction video going!, haha, come on JB90210, post some videos of you skiing and not the one where you ski like you’re on a monoboard 🤣🤣

@@thedarknessherself3454 I can do pizza on Bunny Slope but not on blue

@@SkyHermit try to use wedge to turn

@@SkyHermit What s a pizza?:))

To get past that point then you are linking parallel turns rather than doing a series of hockey stops.

This! Slowing down before the turn often means using more width of the slope, especially when it gets steeper. This is not always possible due to terrain, other people, and/or slope etiquette.

You have to make a route. It’s like moguls, but moguls are people. Also maybe go on less crowded slopes

I think it’s the same guy

Same guy but older XD

I think big S that results in a slight uphill before engaging into the next turn i'm trying to teach my kids this. But loading that ski till the very end and then releasing the energy can be used to control but also gain speed, like racers do to get around slalom poles.

David. Way to go David! You picked up on that! Good for you!

Pre-turn, a little bit up the hill, a bit like a short hockey stop, before you start the real turn.

@@JB91710 chill a bit dude

?? Idk what to say to this but ok

It's not that easy to pull a video out of thin air when you don't have a camera and the person to run it and edit it. My method could not be easier to understand and visualize. The Problem is, people want to be shown. They don't Want to think. That's why they pick the best video and presenter and just blindly follow them. You're saying it yourself. Show us and then we'll understand it. If you don't Think, no, you won't understand it. Many times I point out exact things to look at and say, "This is what you should be thinking of at that time." Just make believe it's me and you will have your video! These so called instructors are taking advantage of that fact. Laziness and the Show Me mentality. All they do is show you with no teaching and you mimic. You Have to add thinking or you won't understand what skiing is so you can fine tune turns for differing conditions. Mimicking won't get that done. I HAVE to destroy these instructors so you know that they are not helping you. There way isn't just a different way, it's No Way. It isn't Teaching at all. People should not be put off by the Reilly videos. You Have to do what he is doing. You don't have to look that good or have your feet close together but you have to do it. He shows it clearly. Here's an example. Go to 0:45 on this video. Shaped skis know how to turn. Watch what this person does. Even if you were in a snowplow, you do this same thing. You balance on one arch after the other. You don't see him "Tipping" or Steering or twisting. He isn't pushing or shoeing. All he is doing is balancing, That is what the skis need from you. Watch all these videos. On some read my comments. I use there videos for the example that people need visually. My method is long and wordy because I have to explain what you have to think about and envision or you won't get it. You Can't Just read it, you have to Think it. I will NOT teach like these other people who don't! Here's the key. I, can't Make people understand and I can't Make them do it. The skiers have to Think. Here's the key. Watch these videos in slow motion so the speed doesn't intimidate. It's the moves that you need to focus on. Think of what I say as you see it.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8p3qbGi3pOYqWw.html

@@JB91710 You said :'' That's why they pick the best video and presenter and just blindly follow them. You're saying it yourself. Show us and then we'll understand it.'' I never said ''Show us and then WE will understand it.''. What I did say is : ''First : show us ; second : YOU explain to us so we'll be able to understand what you just showed us.'' Vice-versa is also acceptable, yet less efficient. Watching does not prevent from thinking. It must not replace thinking but must come in addition, they work together and a brain needs both. I do agree with the idea there's too much watching and very little thinking to explain and understand what has been watched. Seems you're so tired of the ''Watch 'n mimic learning system'' that you've fallen into the opposite :)

@@chrisroblin3320 No insults ever intended! "Watching does not prevent from thinking." YESSSS, it most certainly does!!! Most people are Two Dimensional Reactors instead of Three Dimensional Thinkers. That goes especially for people who create teaching methods in sports. They SEE knees leaning sideways so the say, "Tip your knees sideways." They SEE their feet and legs twisting so they say, "Twist your feet and legs." That isn't teaching and it isn't even Skiing. When a student looks at a video, no matter What is told to them, they will React to what they see as it is easier than having to Think about what is said. These so called "Instructors" turn skiing into Rocket Science to fool you into thinking they know what they are talking about. Double-talking! I have the same initial reaction but I control it and start THINKING! I haven't fallen into the opposite at all. I'm adding to other peoples videos what they are leaving out. You just haven't seen enough of these videos and read my comments to see that I break down the skiing and interject my teaching. It's out there! You can see one of these people making Technically Correct turns and I, second by second tell you what to doo at each time and what to think. I did that on Reilly videos but he deleted them These other people couldn't care less about your skiing and don't even address your questions. Harold Harb knows so little about teaching that when someone asked him to advise them about a problem they were having, he said "Your boots need adjustment and you should buy my books and videos." Seriously! The question was easy to answer but he was incapable or just greedy. Watch them ski and read my comments and you have it all.

@@chrisroblin3320 Put this video on .25 speed on another KZfaq tab so you have both up and can go back and forth. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMeKjdaKx7HXZJc.html Watch him turn and I will tell you what he is doing and thinking. How do I know? That's the way I ski. Maybe not that steep of a leg angle at 69! 1. 1:49 He is balancing on his Right arch and keeping his upper body vertical so he is always balanced no matter which arch he is on. His upper body is following the path of his skis. 2. 1:57 He has just decided to make another turn so he stops the direction of travel of his upper body across the hill and puts it back in the fall line. He thinks, :I want to go straight down the hill." Look at his face and chest as it turns down the hill. 3. 1:58 His skis continue across the hill and he gets off his downhill foot as it passes under him. His leg angle changes from one side to the other and his feet roll over which switches edges. 4. Notice his upper body from his head to his kneecaps heads down the hill. 5. 1:59 Look at the tip of his left ski and how fast it rolls over and starts turning because of it's shape and design. The tip of your ski is the front tires of your car taking you around a corner. You just head down the hill and balance on that arch. 6. 2:00 The farther he pushes his hip into the turn, the more the leg angle changes and the harder he is on the edge so the ski bends more. 7. 2:02 Even though it Looks Like he is bending his knee into the turn, draw a line from his right arch, through his kneecap to the ball joint in his hip. It is basically a straight line. 8. 2:04 "I want to go straight down the hill get off my Right arch and balance on my Left arch." Forget what the skis are doing, just focus on what You need to do. 9. 2:11 Upper body and kneecaps down the hill as your skis take your feet through the turn. 10. 2:16 Watch it from behind. You do the same thing in a wedge if you are beginner. There is just a lot less hip into the turn. Just balancing. My method is the same from Beginner to Racer. The only thing that changes is the hip into the turn for extreme leg angle. K.I.S.S. 10:45 am. I have to go skiing now!

@@JB91710 Thank you so much for the lesson and the time you spent for me (and for the people curious enough to understand deeper...) !

Thank you, this video was terrible. "Control your speed by slowing down." Gee, thanks!

Yeah, how do I slow down before a turn if I've been using turns to slow down?? I obviously don't know HOW or I wouldn't be using turns to slow down. This is a great concept, but I'm still not sure how to attain it.

@@LaKdazzle FR

Well u could try not leaning forward so much, or turning very slightly up the hill just to lose some momentum, or (even though your really not supposed to) doing a slight wedge. Those are what i do but be warned im really not a master lol

I think what he is getting at is that some skiers use the act of direction change (the beginning of the turn) as a way to slow down as opposed to finishing out the turn...using the traverse across the face of the slope...to slow down.

@@diverdown81 HOWWWWWWWWW????????????????????????????????

I wouldn’t want to learn from you generally just because of your adversarial spirit. The bicycle analogy is good but incomplete, just like what you’re complaining about (in other videos too). What do you do with the outside ski (pedal)? Teaching carving takes lots of visualization and it can come from one or many teachers. Get over yourself and your barstool analogy that you keep repeating? It’s no better than this tip here. Make a vid if you think you got it all figured out and see how you feel when know it alls break down your turns!

@@themoistgreenorganic These people are screwing you and I am spelling out in detail what they do wrong and what they should do. They aren't teaching a Different way, they aren't Teaching at all. That's why I have to be adversarial. When you get off your downhill foot and balance on your uphill foot to start a turn, your unweighted foot will stay right next to it unless You put it somewhere else. Stand up. Lift your right foot and balance on your left. Where is your right leg? I don't need to make my own video. Watch people carve but read what I say about what You have to9 do. That, is how you will actually learn to do it. Read my comments to Chris Roblin below. You should understand after that.

@@JB91710 I understand that the PSIA isn't out to get folks skiing, they're more about getting more business. Their method compares to Scientology. You pay an arm and a leg for what? A tiny portion of the answer (skills), more lessons get more skills. Many lessons (thousands of dollars) later you might be comfortable shredding the bumps, trees and cliffs, but many students still cannot do that. Effective skiing is an incredibly simple movement. Applying this in all terrain in all conditions is incredibly difficult. There is such a myriad of sensations and techniques that are appropriate for each, mastering them takes a long time. The PSIA tries to put it all in a cookie cutter form to teach in a standardized package, it's cumbersome but consistent.

@@falllinemaniac "Effective skiing is an incredibly simple movement." You are absolutely right. Watch Reilly ski in slow motion. All he does is position his body Down the hill or puts it Back in the fall line when he wants to start a new turn and then gets off his downhill ski. Gravity, the momentum of his feet across the hill and the ski design do the rest. "Applying this in all terrain in all conditions is incredibly difficult." The basic movements and the ski's requirements from you are the same from the Wedge to Racing. 1. Not thinking of Turning. 2. Knowing your Ski will make the turn not you. 3. Balancing on one arch after the other And 4. Keeping your body going down the hill instead of across when you want to start a turn. Those are the keys to skiing.The better you get, the more they are exaggerated. You can SKI a headwall without having to physically twist your feet if you throw your upper body down the slope as you change your weigh. The steeper the slope, the more aggressive you have to be in all your movements. This is the way to look at the PSIA and any other Teaching organization. In the late 60's and early 70's, what was difficult in skiing was the weather conditions, trail grooming, cloths and equipment. Ski teaching was easy and basic. You learned to handle your class and taught them to jerk around and force your skis to change direction and you were Certified. Today, the weather is mild, snow making and grooming are incredible and the cloths and equipment make skiing easy. The teaching method has turned into Four Levels of Certification!!! Between travel, accommodations, food and fees, can you imagine how manty Thousands of dollars it cost to get those "Certificates" into your hands? With Shaped skis, teaching is Easier now than ever before but the worlds "Teaching" organizations have turned becoming an instructor into an industry. Good skiers have Pie in the Sky fantasies of being Fourth Level Certified Instructors and the Examiners KNOW they will pay through the nose for those certificates. In order to pull that off, they have to turn teaching into Rocket Science and the skiers have to pay $150 for a one hour lesson in which they won'[t understand what the instructor said. All they will be able to do is Mimic what they saw. They Will see improvement only because the skis will change direction so easily but when the speed picks up, they won't be able to slow down so they will Hockey Sop to force the skies around and then blame themselves for not being able to Get It! The teachers are Counting on that to make more money. It's called a Business! They Only care about You learning, to stroke their own egos. They Need you to keep coming back and to Buy their Books and DVD's. All that to allow modern skis to turn on perfectly groomed snow?

@@JB91710 IKR I have been focusing on letting the ski turn my foot. This is from mostly making one leg shorter than the other, rotation is effective but I try not to use it normally. This concept is as foreign to intermediates as letting the edge go into a nice side slip.

I read your method from your website. I think your theory is right on very high level. It's good to get beginner going and going the right direction. However, that's all it can do and it's not enough. Just like swimming free style, just telling to swing arm this way, flutter your leg this way, rotate your body that way, yes you can pick up the style, but it will not get you anywhere. Yeah, you will not get drowned. I do agree most ski instruction videos are not useful, they didn't help me at all to improve my skiing. It might be mileage count. One thing for sure, if you ski the wrong way, even mileage can not help you that much. Skiing is subtle, with the knowledge of right theory, plus mileage, plus feedback or sensation, and adjustment, it can improve. A teacher who has been there will definitely be helpful with private lesson, but not by showing video.

@@shijunli "However, that's all it can do and it's not enough." What else is needed if a person understands what they need to do? I can't do it for them. They are 90% there when they understand. NOBODY teaches people to Understand! You are right that skiing is Subtle. It is an Economy of Motion. Once people understand that the ski makes the turn and not them by forcing the ski, they will Just do what is required of them. Just like allowing a car to make a turn while you Just turn the steering wheel. Skiing is nothing more than facing down the hill and balancing on one arch after the other. Putting your upper body back in the fall line as you get off your downhill foot. For beginners in a small wedge with some speed, it's getting off one arch while keeping your hips in between your feet. Stand sideways on a slope in your yard or a park. Balance on your downhill arch. What you have to do there, you do on skis. Balancing on that arch is putting your hands on the steering wheel. To turn the wheel or press the brake pedal, you move the hip of the foot you got off of, into the turn. Press your hip into the turn. That changes your leg angle which puts the ski on the inside edge and the ski will turn more. The harder you press your hip, the slower you go. It isn't anymore complicated than that. It's all about "Steering" by balancing on one arch and "Pressing" your hip into the turn to regulate your speed. Think of turning the Steering wheel and Pressing the horn button. K.I.S.S.

@AG Coarseman Spoken like a true Follower. Mimic what you see in a video and call that Learning. I Teach, they don't. All depends if You want to actually learn how to ski or just jerk around to force your skis to turn.

@AG Coarseman I don't know why this has to be so hard. I TELL you what they are doing wrong and break it down in the simplest way. Then I tell you what they should be teaching you and again, in the simplest way. Watch Their video while you THINK about what I say. The problem is, 99.9% of you JUST want to watch and mimic. get it?
