    @@TovaPaul I park and ride on steep groomers that are really icy early in the morning during spring skiing season. I feel like it's a bit tough to get the carve into the ice, but once it's in, I can carve across the mountain easier than carving in a traditional s shape.

    Knowing how to do the "right thing" and using the "wrong thing" for fun is totally acceptable. The video is (as I understand) trying to correct and expand the knowledge for skiers who ALWAYS "park and ride", always are on the wrong position on the skis, always miss out rounding up the turns and always end up as a curled up ball, bouncing on top of the moguls without control. All of this things is fun to do at times, but it's not fun to be limited at ALWAYS doing them and wonder why "everyone else" can do the things you can't. In short, knowing and doing more expand the skiing experience, knowing only one way to do it severly limit the skiing experience.

    Great tips! I love the one about being patient in the moguls. Its so true and one I have to relearn every year it seems. Balance is so important. Being back rarely seems to be good (if ever), being forward sometimes helps greatly (pond ice). Applying your balance the right way at the right time is key it seems to me. And i love park and ride on a nice blue groomer! It reminds me why I paid so much for my skis lol But I get what your saying about not extending upwards. At a clinic I went to, the instructor said to fall across your skis into the next turn. It works well and helps you drive into the next turn.Geez skis are so great now! I love all these tips and thinking about them while I ski. Thanks so much

I will for sure try and focus on balance as I tend to lean a bit too far forward when skiing, the tripod analogy is a great way to explain the different pressures and where you should be aiming to focus your weight on. I am currently 17 and next year I am planning on becoming a level 1 ski teacher, it is useful to know where I can self improve in my skiing. Thanks a lot

  • @dasalpengluhen1747
    @dasalpengluhen17473 жыл бұрын

    Thank you for the video! Corona is awful - but a little advantage is to have time to dabble with the theory of skiing a little bit more. :) From my p.o.v. some of the mistakes can be summerised under the challenge, that too many and even advanced or good skiers do not really know how to regulate pressure - along the ski (forwards/backwards) as well as on the feet. I would like to place a stronger focus on moving too much forward, because a lot of mistakes could be a result of that. I see a lot of advanced or even better skiers who experiment hardly concerning the transition of the turn. And they fail and ask: „what is the reason why I can´t give enough pressure on the outside ski and fall backwards - allthough I try to change the COM on the new outside ski early and move forward so strongly?“ And there are armies of ski instructors, who always preach: „move forward on the toes“. And they try to help with a lot of stuff like „retract the skis“, „move the COM much earlier to the new outside ski“, „more angulation“ etc… But in the end: a lot of guests are desperated, because all that stuff doesn`t help concerning the specific problem. The error chain starts with the transition. Of course it always depends on the analysis of the individual movements. But very often the fundamental mistake is to move forward even too much. Why? First: Moving too much forward creates an overpressure on the tip of the ski - and increases instability. At least I get a kind of a „rebound“ right after the start of the turn. And there is definetely not the point, where we want to be rebounded. This arises in falling inside and backwards. The result is, what Tomas describes as „washing out“ oder „skidding“, which means pushing the heals outwards. You can also feel this quite well when you try to ski the turn just on the outside food. I have to get a platform under me. Second: It leads to an extreme instable position. If I move forward really explosively I have to be an absolute expert to find a stable position on the outside ski - and I have to be able to compensate this along the turn. But 99 % of skiers can`t turn the skis balancing all the weight on the toes. I would have to keep the position until the radius of the ski does it´s work. Of course steep slopes necessitate a stronger move forward to compensate the sharper descent. But we still do not need to balance on the toes. Again: I have to get a platform under me. Third: If we think about the definition „reduce the angle of the ankle in the transition“ we find another reason why we should not move to much forward. Most skiers push the heals up, if they want to move forward. This might be ok for an expert, who is able to reduce the angle even if he pushes the heals up. But advanced skiers push themselves much more up instead of to the front. And this raises the angle of the ankles. Have a look at the video at about 1:50 and 2:35 bring all this together: by adjusting and releasing the pressure I already raise the angle of my ankles. So I don`t need to do it even more in the transition. Instead of this I have to start to reduce the angle again towards my platform. One example for a wrong advice: retracting. Why does retracting doesn´t work for those skiers who fall inside und backwards though there is a significant move forward? Easy answer: If I have the problem to move forward too much, retracting is a kind of a boost. But we need to learn how it feels to have the COM in the centre of the ski. From my p.o.v. the first step should be to get a feeling of a platform under me. Watch here to get a better idea of this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iY2E2qpucc7bdaQ.html The transition should start with a solid contact by the shin to the front of the boot along the whole turn. I have to learn how to be able to adjust the pressure in relation to the slope. This should be the leading idea. Moving forward doesn´t help without learning how to hold the COM in the centre of the ski in the course of the turn. Especially advanced skiers know, they have to move forward, but have no idea how much, why, when and where they have to adjust the position. The solution: A lot of those skiers get my following advice: „After you have started to build up pressure under your foot, push the new outside foot forward and maintain this idea up to the next transition“. I´ve been told that during my own training courses for German ski instructor, because I worked so hard on moving forward until it was too much. What has to happen: The easiest way to move the COM to the new outside foot effectively, strongly and early in the transition is to increase the contact of the shin to the boot towards pressure - this works by moving the knee forward and down (or the exact definition again: reduce the angle of the ankle in the transition). First important result: my lower body is working instead of the upper body. When the weight reaches the front ball of the outside foot (not the toes!) and I feel the pressure right under my foot, I start to push the new outside foot slightly forward in direction of the new turn. The idea is to stop thinking about moving forward as an end in itself. I`ve been told: „Start to concentrate on the pressure and how to adjust the pressure!“ So I learned to „steer“ the ski much more instead of „being driven“ by the ski and to adjust the pressure in relation to any condition. And I can create a nice forward/backward-regulation along the whole turn more automatically. Side effect: no „parking-position“, because I can „feel“ the „trampoline“ right under my feet. Furthermore the COM remains on the outside ski from the beginning of the turn up to the next transition. Pushing the outside ski slightly forward also helps to solve a lot of other mistakes: It makes the lead change more naturally and less extremely - otherwise there is the next error source, because extreme lead change leads to fall inside as well. It makes me learning to start the movement bottom-up. If I concentrate on holding contact to the front of the boot and create early pressure to the snow, I also remain in a less extended position. And the angulation is much more effective and naturally, if I do not move to much forward, because very often the angulation starts too late by moving forward too strong. The upper body isn`t stable any more. Instead of this the hip falls inside very early and/or the upper body is tipping to the front. One advice - maybe a lot of solutions. What do you think about this? And sorry for the excessing elaboration :) So, again: Thank you for the video. It´s a great idea to connect the first three mistakes in one video. I know, you want to sell your products and competence ;) But those videos make it even easier, I think ;)

    Thanks Tomas, I really liked the video, great tips! I'm a ski instructor myself, I'm going to use the tip to think about the skis as a trampoline. 👍 A small mistake you made, an advanced skier are not using the most canting and batteling the most forces at the apex of the turn, but right before the transition into the next turn. (You can look at yourself at 4:20 in this video, you do it correct, but describe it incorrect.) Hope this help you as much as you just helped me. Have a great day in the slopes! ❤

    After watching only a few of your turns, I knew that I wanted to see this video. You make some excellent points but I think that the most important one, especially for the truly advanced skier, is about over extending during the transition. A lot of energy is lost raising your body mass upward when that energy can be used to move your feet to the other side. In keeping the upper body quiet and smooth, transitions can become lightning fast and all of the best racers have fast transitions. Again, great tips and you make beautiful turns.

    Excellent series of tips, Thomas. In my own teaching I like to encourage students to mix up their turn rhythm to escape the "park & ride syndrome. Not so much as going from long radius turns to short radius as changing the rhythm. Like turnnnn, turnnnn, turn, turn, turn, turnnnn. Without the long static traverse between turns but instead involving the energy in the ski to initiate the new turn changes the series into a dance instead of a march. Much more fun! I see very advanced skiers producing videos where they crank out 50 turns down a billiard smooth slope, every one exactly the same. I used to date a national level master's ski racer. She called that style gerbil skiing---.

    Great pointers Tomas! Perhaps for 3.0 you could go deeper into the differences between the common up release and the Harb style of relaxing/retracting the outside (stance) leg to initiate the crossover of the body mass to the start of the new turn. If we study the best of World Cup skiers we can see how much they use counteraction at the start of their turn transitions too speed up/smooth their initiations. Marchel Hirscher was the master, but Alexis Pinturault uses the same technique.
