Indeed awesome camera work...just like Willy Bogner in 007!!
I don't know how others but my style while skiing is to turn and break the speed to not die.
Can we also acknowledge that this guy is doing all of this on a race ski. Way to go!!

True i never go to ski 🎿
I like what you suggest to all bored skiers. personally, I always believed that skiing supposed to be fun, not a rigid way of doing same movements over and over again. Thanks a lot for binging it up and showing more enjoyable way of skiing and having fun while doing it !!!! Have fun people !!!!!
One person's definition of fun, is another 1000 skiers face planting 🙃...... skiing on the inside edge while in the back seat 😬

Truth for sure
The explosive technique is really important - it’s effectively slalom racing around invisible gates. I always do this for at least half of every run. You get so much more out of the run, and you improve your strength, which improves endurance, so you stop being limited by your physical capability, and you are just thinking about the Skiing. It also takes me back to my days racing on straight edge skis in the 80’s and 90’s! This was a great video, a really different take on a tuition video. Well done mate, loved it!
The Energizer bunny hits the slopes!
I don't know what's it's called, but I'm skiing in the classic style of my dad, who has been a skier for 70 years (and still skiing). Been skiing 35 years myself. It's a very smooth, beautiful style with the skies very close together. Looking forward to my annual ski vacation in a week!!!
Thanks for the inspiration! 👏🥰 You are awesome! I only ski 1-2 weeks per year, but have done that, since I was 10, ( now 45) sometimes you ned to see things like this to get ready for the ski-week 🤩 I’ll do my best to have fun ⛷❄️ 😁
❤❤❤❤ love his attitude it’s fun would love ski with him… My favorite coach on carve .
Wow. AWSOME skiing and very inspiring. Loved the explosive bit that went from skiing kind of chilled to suddenly bending the knees and skiing more aggressively.
Damn. I've only been skiing for 39 years but you've given me decades more happy "work" to do! Skiing is incredibly gratifying as I witness my sons now starting to overtake me!
Love the enthusiasm! I also often experience skiing as dancing, and when I do, it becomes next-level fun.
I like your skiing. I've watched many ski videos but your stands out. Thanks for breaking it down.
1000x thumbs up! This was just a lot of fun to watch. Ski season coming up fast here in Canada!! YooowWWWW

So much fun to watch you play! I'm a very dynamic and aggressive skier, but my skiing could use more play. Thanks for inspiring me! 😊
Man, my phone is screaming from your energy!! Beast mode ON!
Well you're a lot of fun thanks for the tips! I started practicing those hard Carve Drifts in June, and pretty sure that newly honing that skill saved me catching an edge and landing in the tree well. I has hanging off that tree well's edge instead! Totally agree the freestyle skills will be of much aid in the trees, moguls, etc. Send IT!
Yes! Good tips and fun tricks. Love that positive energy and sense of fun. I’m 66 and still learning, but that fun is what it is all about. And, yeah, the camera work was good. Thanks, Richard, for this video!1
Excellent video great tips. A really good reminder to me to not get lazy, mix it up and have fun with different turns. Thanks
Great impressive beyond words skiing....Also, I think this is the first motivational clip about how to make the most of your skiing!
👍You missed out the something I have been practicing for years: THE EXPLOSIVE HEAD PLANT I am still discovering new variations 😂
Dude one of the best viseos of CARV, love you man, I´m your idol...
Fire in the shed! As for me ski video No. 1 on youtube. We look forward to the next video!!!
I’m ready to book a flight and sign up for your class! So impressive and I love the positivity and joy in your actions and words. Thanks for the amazing show and keep having fun! Ciao from Sun Valley, Idaho.
Attitude, attitude and more attitude. Cheers, mixing it up with spontaneity and imagination!

unparalleled technic and style! Ricky's been practising with Didier Cuche :D is not otherwise possible
Thank you for this! I can't express how much bending your knees and driving the skis. This takes practice like you mentioned. I've been practicing those euro carve spray to fakie. At speed they are so much fun. I gotta try some of those sweed turns. Dude, you are awesome! You're also on those head racing skis and making switch easy. When you pop 180 are you popping off your lead foot?
Never skied a day in my life, It looks a lot like dancing(which I love) This looks like fun, I'm going to take lessons this upcoming season. Thank you for this video!

Such a good clip keep it up
I think i would snap in half if i tried half of the things in this video :D well done

zermatt FTW !!! This video still is a bit discouraging however... the amount of skills showcased by Richard is totally out-of-this-world... you don't get your ticket to the Swiss Demo team by screwing around, though! :D
