That's exactly one of the things that I focus on when I practice. The CoM explanation is good. Thanks, Reilly!

The additional information you add on the videos is very useful to me Reilly, thank you very much.

Great video 💯🔥🔥🔥⛷️🩵 Thank you sooo much! Beginner alert 🚨 but I’m hungry to learn!

Hm. Reilly, you've been a brilliant skier and a good teacher; you've become a brilliant teacher now, too. Just wow!

Great video - well explained. I remember when this ( big up and down movements) was taught as the way to short turns on 205 cm skis! Another ghost from the past that won't die! Let's hope you have put a stake through its heart! All the best mate!

Thanks. Good job.

Excellent teaching. Thank you very much. I'll practice on the snow Thanks, Reilly!

Morning Reilly from Arizona , I am looking at replacing my ski quiver. My daily driver is Head Supershape emagnum 178 cm. I noticed the eorignal max length is 170 cm. I enjoy short turns the most , I am an advanced to expert skier 165 ilbs, 5 foot 8 inches tall. Your comments are appreciated. Thxs

on a range of 1-10(1 for lowest and 10 for standing straight up), I do try to move around 4-8 range. This also depends on the 3 factors of slope steepness, size of turn and speed.

Nice demo and drill Reilly. I use this drill quite often for myself and when I'm teaching my students. Two little things I add if the student is having problems doing it correctly is to make sure his poles are a near straight out like a extension of his arms and position the hands vertically aligned to his shoulders with the pole tips slightly back. This helps to keep the middle position ( As you describe at 3:10) where he will want it and the pole tips in the drag position and prevent catching in the snow.

The foot pressure pictures were great would be nice to talk about cross over and under relative to foot pressure and COM. Thanks for the pole tips I too see a lot of people using too much extension and it's hard to get them to trust crossing over.

Cross over is not a god option. This means that you have extended legs at the moment your COM crosses over your skis, when the skis are flattened. In an optimal short turn you move your COM forwards and backwards over your skis more than you move it to the sides of your skis. The only moment to have your skis behind the middle points of your skis is before and during the crossing. This is only possible with cross under. The best way to get this backward movement is by knee flexion of both legs, that moves the COM backwards over your skis. Flexed knees can make you to lose the pressures on your boot tongues and you can avoid losing it by pressing your ankles, feet upwards inside your boots. Remember you should move your COM forwards and backwards over the middle points of your skis equally much. The forward movement of your COM is mostly made by a body projection to a direction close to the fall-line, before you let your skis start to move into the new turn. Then a backward movement of your COM starts and goes on during the whole turn. In a cross over turn you will be unable to move your COM behind the middle points of your skis.

Reilly, how much vertical movement are you looking for in your short radius turns? Say, by contrast, as opposed to long radius turns. Thanks. // Marshall

Yeah. I agree 100%

External cues and external feedback aren’t about being able to self analyse and self correct, as you rightly point out this takes guidance to get to that point for any skier… they are about providing more objective information that allow the skier to remove the negative judgement that can more easily come with internal cues and feedback. As you mentioned, the performance criteria for this task become as simple as whether pole tips were dragging on the snow. By honing in on this as the relevant feedback, the student is better placed to focus on the movements needed to execute the task and make adjustments from run to run, relevant to that feedback. Internal and external cues both require guidance during instruction, external cues are just proven to create a more robust skill set. That’s not to say that internal cues aren’t effective, and both come down to the skilfulness of the instructor using them at the end of the day.

This is an optimal witdth for his hips width, which is clearly seen at this speed. The racers' vertical ski separation at high speeds and/or steeper slopes is often misinterpreted by many at any (self-perceived) level.

I'm an adult learner and slightly beyond the intermediate stage but I've always struggled to keep out of the back seat. Last season I adopted more of an extension move and it really helped me stay forward when I needed to - especially off piste and in the trees. I hate to give up that functionality so is there any insight as to how to get the best of both techniques?

@SansibarRacing

Жыл бұрын

I would say the extension/up&down movement per se is not bad, just the exaggerated form. One tip that helped me staying out of the back seat is to always have the arms out in front of you (always in your vision).

@ReillyMcGlashan

Жыл бұрын

extension and flexion is not bad, but when its mistimed or exaggerated that can become problematic. The rest of the video on projected productions explains more in detail about not getting back with this exercise. I have another lesson coming out on projected productions about not getting back that has a different exercise to address this. Everything has a pro and a con, if you extend "too much" you lose range in the lateral aspect to get your ankles and knees tipped over and the same goes by getting back. Staying in a middle ground or range is the goal which was the stationary demo in the video showing the appropriate amount of flexion and extension while staying in a range that the hips are over the feet and the COM in a position to allow the legs to move freely.

Is it possible you meant 115cm? 105 is quite short for your height I think

I never see that problem in my learners. On the contrary, they hardly move up and down at all. I wish they would, because an excess up & down is much easier to cure then the bracing posture, which I do see often: outer/lower leg stretched out forward, bud backwards and a forward flexed trunk.

But I really think that you're giving beginners the wrong impression when you say that you see excessive up & down movement in >many of His experience reflects my experience since then, in that by far the most seen errors are 1. stiff legs, 2. backseat posture 3. forward flexed trunk. They can all be seen in a movement pattern as in kzread.info/dash/bejne/hnmVlM-OpdaqYso.html. I see that pattern in >95% Also, this is what the Austrian book for instructors says about teaching short turns: "Eine ausgeprägte Verticalbewegung erleichtert das Auslösen der Richtungsänderung." In English: "A pronounced vertical movement (up-unweighting) makes the initiation of the direction change easier."

Yep, you’re not supposed to “seat” on your skis

Flexion/extension (vertical movement) and tipping (lateral movement) are kinesthetically mutually exclusive movements that can occur in the human kinetic chain running between our center of mass and our base of support. During transition is where tipping needs to occur the most and the quickest. Due to this tipping need, we need to be at our most flexed position in the turn cycle. The more flexed our chain is, the higher the range of motion (in angles) there will be for tipping the feet. Extension happens afterward into the apex of the turn. That is where we are most extended which is better stacking for the highest turn pressure to come at turn completion.
