edging is what creates braking, once you pivot what stopps you from spinning around backwards?

I write a negative comment about these skiers was not level 4 , I did erase it because I saw and other video about level 5 and level 5 instructor doesn't exist, I did realised these are level 4 of clients of that academy not level 4 instructor. Please be aware when you post a ski video and said level 4 or even level 3 to mention they are regular client.

Here is a little secret about how performance carving or race skis work. At high edge angles (45 deg+) the turning arc a ski will carve on the snow is determined by Edge Angle AND Load on the ski. But at low edge angles, say under 20 degrees, it is Edge Angle only. Why? Because a ski is a beam. And beams get incrementally stiffer as you bend them more. At low edge angles just a fraction of your body weight will fully bend the ski for a given edge angle. The waist of the ski is not lifted enough off the snow to create more bend with more load. The ski arc is fixed. This means that we actually get better response by being on two skis. In other words, the "RR Track" or "Garland" style of turn should be used for the initiation of the turn. 50/50 weight on TWO skis, with good edge angle similarity is the FASTEST way to get the skis turning. But in high energy carving, this phase of a turn is INCREDIBLY short. It only lasts a few tenths of a second....and you only travel a few ski lengths on the snow before you start taking weight off the inside ski. But you must do it, especially on longer radius skis, like competition GS, SG and DH skis. On longer radius skis, if you stand with all your weight on one ski, then tip the ski on edge, you get very slow turn initiation. The best way to start a turn fast is to use two skis from flat, to about 20 degree, then as you tip further, you tilt your pelvic bone and shorten the inside leg to take weight off the inside ski. The way to get weight onto the strong outside ski, is to focus on taking weight OFF the inside ski! Watch WC racers closely, especially in GS on moderate slopes, and you will see what I am talking about. From flat skis...to about 20 degree edge angles they have perfect edge similarity, and no vertical separation. If their skis are on the snow (often times the sheer speed and energy of high level turns cause rebound energy to put you in the air) their weight is even between skis in this phase. But once they get to about 20+ degrees edge angle to the snow, they start to create vertical ski separation. The inside ski and outside ski move apart....NOT BY WIDENING THE STANCE...but through vertical gap. Their legs are still close together...often in contact...about as "narrow as you can get" but the skis get farther apart through pelvic bone tilt and inside leg shortening. Watch MS..... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bJNoh6x2s6y7m3k.html There are TWO fundamental drills you must be able to do to carve at a high level: 1. Plain old RR Track Turns, like here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbKgmrqT1bHMY2g.html 2. CARVED outside ski only turns. CARVED! Not skidded like 58s to 1 min 13s. The way you want to do it is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbxld6yDp8nedqc.html The RR track style is how you do the first 10% of the turn. Then you transition to a stacked position by the fall line, with 90%+ of the weight on the outside ski. These two drills teach each of these individually. Perfect each, then learn to transition from 1 to 2 early in the turn. That is it. Everything else is overcomplicating things. One more thing....not enough coaches talk about hip leveling. It should be taught from Carving DAY 1. You can not do a proper RR track turn with good edge angle similarity if you do not tilt the pelvic bone property. Watch MS again...here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eq2Pd8poxLStpGQ.html

I am so excited to finally see some videos for learning to ski steeps. So many videos focus on carved turns on groomers. I am a pretty good skier and can handle most any black run but totally fall apart on double blacks. Now I finally know why. I have been trying go carve turns and get going way too fast. I am really excited to see this series of videos and hope to finally overcome my problems with super steep runs. Makes total sense now that I hear an expert explain it. Thank you !

What a great introduction, be fit! One the key reasons to be in shape, is the model of any injury involves 300 milliseconds, it is a split second decision, from cars, to falls, to skiing, and the person that immediately identifies the situation, and is extremely fit, they can position themselves to avoid the injury by transferring forces.

Regarding the timing of pole plants, do you pull your feet back underneath then plant your pole or do plant your pole simultaneously with pulling your feet back? thanks!

When you start your hop, which leg should you use to pump yourself up? Downhill or uphill?
@jeffbarrie8576 Жыл бұрын
When you anticipate the mogul and pull your lets up is there any downweighting involved or is it all leg retraction?
@Osnosis9 ай бұрын
No down weighting; you do have absorb the weight of your legs extending onto the downhill side of the mogul. In essence, the effort is in the turn finish, with (near) zero effort in turn initiation.

Haha. A bunch of us (last year’s WS L2 trainees) went down rock ‘n’ roll last February at the end of a superb day. Absolutely incredible couloir. Steep AF but very aesthetic. Scary too. Great little video. Loved the way you bring in not just jump turns, but sideslip, pivot turns et cetera. Great days …

Quick questions please -- when i ankle flex - my heel slightly raises from the boot - is this ok - or should the whole foot remain flat as far as possible. Also should the two ankle straps be tightened rigid - as when looser allow easier ankle flex -- thanks in advance
