I've really loved and benefitted from all of your excellent training videos Debra... much appreciated, much love and respect! Come visit our ski school at Mt.Bachelor some time next season! 👍👌✌🖖🏼☃️❄⛷🕊⚘❤🎖🌞
You are a very good instructor. I learned how to ski in the '70s. Had I known some of your concepts, I would have accelerated by not trying to figure things out by myself.
I didn't until a recent video in which Deb showed a gold medal. Although I've subscribed to this channel for at least 2 years and learned a lot. Deb, you are absolutely the best ski instructor on TH-cam. Thank you for all the videos!
Let me tell you that often experienced skiers rotate their hips together with the legs but they keep the shoulders forward in order to try to make the separation. .
@@DebArmstrongSkiStrong I’ve learnt so much from your videos. I love skiing but there’s always room for improvement so thank you very much for all your help. You’re awesome x
I was born with a club foot but will give this a try. Got some new wider skiis and struggled on the steep turns so far. Any advice for someone with a weaker side/foot than the other, but still wants to attack the mtn like a pro?
Ya, keep at it!!! try not judging yourself. Love it up. No specific exercises to suggest. Get those turns really dialed in before progressing to steeper terrain. You won't learn better skills in the steeps. learn on the easier terrain. push yourself on the steeper terrain. then go back to the easier terrain to practice more. back and forth between the two. Have fun!!!!!
Hum, not sure. However I have worked with many kids ski boots to soften them. Problems of a boot that is too stiff are more significant than a boot that is too soft.
@@DebArmstrongSkiStrong no one ever talks about pushing off with the uphill ski. This also teaches early weight transfer to the new ski. On the flats where you are demonstrating pushing of with both skis will work. But on steeper terrain most students will try pushing off with the down hill ski because that's what they have been taught up to this point. I meant no disrespect but I have personally seen students hurt their backs trying hop turns the wrong way.
@@donaldfiesta8666 Finding the uphill foot as you mention for early weight transfer is a fundamental in skiing. That is a preasure move and in my view pressure makes the other skills of rotary and edging better. For the purposes of this particular video, an intro to hop turns, I do not feel your emphasis is necessary. In this video I highlight the fundamental movements to be successful with a basic hop turn on basic terrain. Nuanced movement adjustments for various situations, and more advanced mechanics for situational skiing is not the intention here.
Hi Deb. I would like more lessons on jump turns as I'd like to be able to do some backcountry this coming winter! This video is very helpful.
Deb not only won the gold she is gold. So thankful for the content. Does not get any better than this!

Glad yiu found my channel
Well done Deb. There are many parts of this drill that relate to mogul skiing as well.
I love watching you hopping! 🐰Gonna work on this tomorrow.
Hi Deb, great exercise...I plan to warm up this it next time I ski. thanks
I can’t wait to get on the snow for the second time in my life. You’re such a good instructor for me.
I have several students in that category (U10) and will do this exercice with them. This is a great exercice and demonstration. All my thanks Deb!
Thanks Yvon!!! Do you mind if I use this quote as a testimonial?
No worries! You can use my testimonial anytime Deb! It’s a great exercice!
Debra I love you, you re one of a kind
Thank you. Easy to understand.
Excellent exercise, very useful! Thanks
I wonder if all these people watching your videos realize what a legend you are?!

@@leighjones6514 Thank you!
Deb, thanks for the drill......I may have some adult beginners that will benefit from the same. Have a great season!
Fantastic!!
1:17 great advice
Yove taught so many kids.

@@DebArmstrongSkiStrong great advice, thank you!
Would you recommend to loose the top buckle just a little bit so the kids can more easily do the hop turn with skies on?
Hum, not sure. However I have worked with many kids ski boots to soften them. Problems of a boot that is too stiff are more significant than a boot that is too soft.
@@DebArmstrongSkiStrong I see, thank you
Круто!. The best teacher
Thank you!!❤❤
Deb Strong!
😊🙃😊
My coach did this and then he fall down and farted
Then did he feel better?
Yeah
Whom ever gets you as a coach is a luck person..

Everyone who ever tries to teach this misses the boat.
Tell me what the "boat" is. What are we missing? Knowing would help me much. Thanks!! I appreciate your thoughts.
Deb Armstrong I found this very useful!
donald fiesta -Well? She was gracious enough to ask you, we would all like to hear your answer. Perhaps, you do have a useful point to make?
