Try and look towards the horizon, glance to scope out the general slope shape and other hazards, use peripheral vision and feel to ski the actual snow below.
its the g force that keeps you up like agustin said.. if you are scared about gaining too much speed while carving then you are not ready yet or you should practice on blue slopes first.. i can guarantee you need some skills for carving on a black slope because when you hit that speed its hard to stop specially if there's humps on a slope
You ski and make turns with your face and chest, not your feet. What happens down there is the end result. The byproduct. That's why you don't think of your feet to initiate a turn except to change your weight and balance from your downhill to your uphill foot. Don't believe me? 1:34! His skis are still going right as his face and chest are going left and down the hill. Sure wish he would get his feet closer together. A student mimicking him would get into a lot of trouble doing that! Way too easy to lose your balance and load that inside ski and spin around backwards.
@@peripheral1258 How old are you, 10? Not one of your words told me where and how I'm wrong nor could you tell me where they are right. That means, you know nothing about skiing.
Man JB you are tireless :-) I see your comments on so many ski videos. I keep wishing you would make your own ski videos (beyond just the one) with a lot more detail on your approach, and drills that can help one get there. I know they're a lot of work to make but you have a lot of ideas about how to teach expert skiing and I'd love to see them come to life. I'm still just getting started but I feel like at the end of the day, it's a simultaneous system, meaning that all of these things (head, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, feet) need to move together and they are all interrelated. I think you are right in an important way --- that there are ankle and knee motions (like rolling onto the new edge) that happen purely as a result of the tipping and angulation, all driven from the upper body and hips. But at the same time, I think there are details of what's happening with the lower body that matter too, and do not happen on their own (at least not for me) just from upper body motion: specifically, foot flexion of the outside foot (shifting pressure from the big toe to the arch to the heel through the turn), and also the unweighting/shortening of the inside leg (which for me at least takes deliberate leg action to really pull that inside ski up and keep the inside shin parallel to the outside shin). Maybe I'm doing this wrong, and inside leg shortening could all happen "naturally" as a consequence of upper body angulation and weight shift, (again I'm just getting started), but I'm not seeing how either of those things (foot flexion and inside leg shortening) can happen from the upper body alone. But I'd agree the tipping and angulation, developing the edge angle, is upper body driven. Maybe I'm just overthinking all of this 🙂
@@KennethDuda Let me start with your last sentence. "Maybe I'm just overthinking all of this." Yes, you and everyone else are most certainly overthinking my method. Skiing is incredibly simple to understand and do! People Make it hard because they teach and do what skiing Looks and Feels like and call that skiing. Easily 9 out of 10 skiers force their skis to Change Direction Only! They are not standing and balancing in a way where the skis can actually bend and make speed controlling turns!!!!!!! Everyone including me want to be taught by Watching, Listening or Reading, in that order of preference. The first two do Not require Thinking. They only require Mimicking. You can Not learn to ski through Mimicking. You Have to Think and Understand what skiing is and then it becomes easy. The worlds instructors can ski technically correct but they cannot think about what they are actually doing so therefore, they can't create an instruction method that a student can understand. Even instructors who can demonstrate the correct moves, can't put those moves into words a student can understand. My words explain exactly what you need to think and do. They are hard to comprehend because they are completely opposite to what other instructors do and teach and whatever would come to a student naturally. 1. The skis are designed to turn. I can't emphasis that enough. Does it look like I'm working hard in my video to ALLOW my ski to make turns? I'm doing what they need and nothing more. My skis are making those turns, I am not forcing them like with the Snowplow or Stem turns the world is STILL teaching even though Shaped Skis have been around for decades. 2. A Skateboard is Designed to make turns. The rider does not have to Force the board to change directions. All they have to do is stay balanced and step from one foot to the other, side to side, and the board will tilt, the steering mechanism will operate, and the wheels will turn. 3. To make a golf club hit the ball where you want it to go, you don't swing the club in a natural way, like a baseball bat, you have to use and move specific parts of your body in a specific way, the way the club needs you to move, and the head of the club will meet the ball correctly and the ball will go where you want it to. 4. To make a 4000Ib car turn, all you have to do is face the dashboard and rotate the steering wheel. To make a pair of skis turn all you have to do is balance on one arch in a traverse across the slope, face down the hill, change your weight to the other arch, like pedaling a bicycle, and the skis will bend and make a complete turn, not just change direction like when you force the tails around.!!! When you watch my video look for that. I didn't exaggerate those moves because I had decided to make it look as simple as it really is. At the end of a turn, I point my hands and chest down the hill and the skis turned because I stepped from my downhill to uphill ski. You don't think about the steering mechanism in a car so don't cloud your mind with the steering mechanism in skis. Just let them do their job.
@@KennethDuda "I keep wishing you would make your own ski videos (beyond just the one) with a lot more detail on your approach, and drills that can help one get there." TH-cam is full of "Teachers" demonstrating the Correct way to make turns, it is their words that don't cut it. Their words Just describe what the end result will Look Like, not what to think in order to make it Look Like that. In every one of my comments on their videos I spell out in detail what they are saying Or demonstrating that is wrong and most importantly, WHY it is wrong, and then I explain the right way and WHY it is right. This is all you have to do. Read my words over and over and over and create an image in your mind, go out on the slope, pick up some speed in a traverse and do what I say. You will see and feel the results and THEN, everything I say will suddenly make sense and for the First time, you will understand skiing. Start with what I say about braking to a stop from the traverse so you can see the results in a safe and confident way. Then just face down the slope and change your weigh and balance from your downhill to your uphill foot and the skis will make a turn for you. You just have to balance on it. If you force it out from under you to make it turn, you won't be balanced on it, and it will only change direction a little but won't bend and complete the turn to control your speed.
@@KennethDuda "all of these things (head, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, feet) need to move together and they are all interrelated." There goes that Over Thinking that everyone does. Again, when you rotate the steering wheel to make your car turn, do you think about the rest of the steering mechanism? When you rotate that steering wheel, do you think of all the different muscles and joints involved or do they work automatically when you just focus on your hands and the rotation? "I think you are right in an important way --- that there are ankle and knee motions (like rolling onto the new edge) that happen purely as a result of the tipping and angulation, all driven from the upper body and hips." Now there you go showing me how intelligent you are. Keep it up! You are sounding like the all-important, "Outside the Box Thinker!" "But at the same time, I think there are details of what's happening with the lower body that matter too, and do not happen on their own (at least not for me) just from upper body motion: specifically, foot flexion of the outside foot (shifting pressure from the big toe to the arch to the heel through the turn), and also the unweighting/shortening of the inside leg (which for me at least takes deliberate leg action to really pull that inside ski up and keep the inside shin parallel to the outside shin)." Oh My GOD! You just made my head explode! Stop that right now! ;-) You just recited all the useless Gobble Gook that people tell you who have no idea how to teach skiing, so they resort to just describe the aftereffects of what "I" tell you.
FANTASTIC
Very nice Video as always!
That's very good 👍
You got me FIRED UP! 4 more weeks to go.
Carving is pure pleasure👍👌🎿🎿🎿
Can i ask if thighs will hurt(strain) alot while carving low?
Thanks great!
Cool ...
when i look at this,i rly wanna cry.wtf am i doing on slope xDDDD
Great tips! How far do you look ahead when you ski? Like 2 or 5 meter in front of you? Thank you
It's the same like driving a car or riding a bicycle.
5m with a speed of 40 km/h is half a second. You really need to look further ahead.
Always enjoy the scenery. So you have an open view
Try and look towards the horizon, glance to scope out the general slope shape and other hazards, use peripheral vision and feel to ski the actual snow below.
I wanna improve my carving... But how you do not fall with that angle of inclination? And im kinda worried about gaining too much speed.
it's about the timing, the g-force of the turn keeps you up with the turn, how's it going?
its the g force that keeps you up like agustin said.. if you are scared about gaining too much speed while carving then you are not ready yet or you should practice on blue slopes first.. i can guarantee you need some skills for carving on a black slope because when you hit that speed its hard to stop specially if there's humps on a slope
high speed control
Boss!
But it wasn’t filmed on steep slopes
Aaaaalter kili gehst du ab Mann
Nice video but he DOESN'T show you how to control your speed on steep pistes! He shows you how to ski quickly.
You ski and make turns with your face and chest, not your feet. What happens down there is the end result. The byproduct. That's why you don't think of your feet to initiate a turn except to change your weight and balance from your downhill to your uphill foot. Don't believe me? 1:34!
