I had trouble sleeping and Dr told me to x country ski 5 km / day to get in shape for 5 days then give him a call. After 5 days I gave him a call and he asked how I was sleeping. I replied , I'm not sure yet , I'm 25 km away from home. Great video thank you.

I really dont understand, how can some people give thumbs down to this,it was really informative ♥️

Too funny, love the British humor, very close to the Danish humor. We are a Danish family living in the Pacific Northwest new to Nordic skiing 😊, thanks for the video 👍

It’s 2021 and I am here to learn. Thank you so much.

Great . I'm a 65 year old Brit living in Russia and I'm really enjoying learning cross country . Nice to hear a British accent on a ski video :-)

A beautiful British accent!

I wanted to say you missed the crucial part - "Falling down", but bloopers got it covered!

I put skis on for the first time in my life this week and travelled 18km in one day without any technique - VERY tiring...and painful... not knowing how to slow down my method of stopping on declines was to dive on the floor ... serious!. I'm putting the skis back on tomorrow... and this video is going to helpe massively. Thank you so so much!

Being a Canadian of some Norwegian heritage, classic cross country is almost a religion for me - so I watched your video very scrupulously. There are a thousand things I would like to add - but as a beginners guide I think you have hit all the major points. I would like to add one point, however. When engaging an aggressive decline, get those hands out of the straps on the poles. If you lose control in a fall, it is best to toss the poles away because some newbie skiers stick them out front and then can't let go because of the straps. This can cause injury or lead to you falling on your poles and being pinned down with your hands stuck in the straps. Otherwise, I think you have really thought this through and kept the information to the most critical for beginner skiers.

Keep your hands/poles out in front for balance and drop your centre of gravity for descents.

Very good! My late wife was British so I understood you easily. It was good to hear again. I have been downhill skiing since the early 1950s. But new wife won't let me go out unless it is cross country. (Due to age and condition.) So, being grateful to have her, I even listen sometimes. Thus tuning in here for the introduction to this variety of the sport. Because I enjoy my old habits and terminology, I was prepared for many odd new things as I began this video. But I am happy to be wrong. I can get along with everything you said and showed. The sole exception being that I will have sturdy poles that I can use to help me up from a fall, the old downhill way. I will be sharing this with a cousin my age who is an experienced XC skier, to see what he says. Thank you both for a good and pleasant video. I look forward to using what you shared with us.

Excellent video! Well done! First cross country trip for me tomorrow.

Thanks for the great video. I dont know why but the british accent makes everything better.

Thank you so much, clear and great tips!, please keep posting videos..

Thanks for the video, just bought my Ski and starting this season! Can't wait :D

Great intro. Many thanks for posting and love the outtakes. We laughed when watching the equipment section again and saw you laughing when the boot clipped in. :)

Great introduction, guys! Thanks for the extras at the end, it gives an even more personable tone to the presentation. I’m definitely going to try it out.

Thanks for the info. I will be working in Northern Maine this winter at a resort with CC skiing. This will help me enjoy the snow!!

Thanks. Excellent tutorial, the best on the subject. It helped me a lot!

The half-snowplow is a very helpful tip! I had no idea how to control my speed in the parallel track.

Excellent video presentation. Looking forward to giving cross country skiing a go this winter.

Excellent Video! Simple and clear. Thank you for sharing.

So much lovely information in such a small video - very well formatted. Absolutely loved it and thanks for these tips.

Thank you for this. Going XC skiing here in a few weeks in Colorado. Can’t wait.

Very well done. Clearly presented, straight forward instructions. Thanks.

I watched this video shortly before cross-country skiing for the first time...and used all of these skills out on the trail. Incredibly helpful -- thank you!

Thanks for the great beginner’s introduction to xcountry skiing and the equipment. Hubby and I are in our mid 60s, trying this sport for the first time. We did well, thanks to watching you first! We are fortunate, to have plenty of snow property, between our neighbors and ourselves, we have plenty of acres to practice on. What a fun sport! I sent this video to our daughter, who wants to give it a try. Thanks again.

Great video. I've always wanted to try it and now feel confident I can and will enjoy it.

Excellent video for easy instruction! Thank you

Thank you for the interesting video! we'll definitely try to follow your advice next time we will be doing cross country

About to go on my first cross country adventure in Quebec. Fantastic video thank you so much.

Brilliant video - really clear and easy to understand. Thanks! :-)

Thanks for the great video!!! Going to head out to FairHill Maryland for my first time trying cross country skiing with my sister!

A very helpful video teaching this old dog a new trick. I've been skiing for years and never before tried the half snow plough on a turn. It works great! Thank you for that.

This is a really good instructional video, thank you!

Thank you. I am completely new to this, and this video presented information in a very comprehensive manner for newbies like me.

Cool. I’ve cross country skied many times but have always been unsure if I was doing it correctly. Now I’m ready to REALLY go CROSS COUNTRY . Thanks guys, I loved the video 😎

Just returned from my first attempt at XC skiing after your great tutorial. I did, however, find getting back up a bit more challenging than it looked. By the third time, much easier. Lol. Thank you.

Fantastic video! It has helped me so much!

Really great video for total beginners to cross country skiing - assumes nothing but explains everything including equipment; basic technique; turning; up & downhill. As an experienced downhill skier but 'Rookie" cross country skier this was perfect...thanks guys!

Day 3 I found the rhythm. The video was helpful especially about kick...glide...kick...glide. So far, I think cross-country skiing is a cross between jogging and rollerskating.

Hi, great explanation! Greeting from Ushuaia, Argentina
