If you wonder why your comment is not here anymore its because we had a technical glitch at the end of the video discovered by one of you wonderful skiers. I could not live with it so I had to re-upload this video so the comments we got dissapeared.

This is my first season pass skiing and I want to give mad props to you for these videos. Over the first 2 weeks I've improved massively. Thank you.

[JohnnyChonko]

The hardest part about all of this is how similar the "good" skiing looks compared to the "bad". I have watched virtually every carving video on YT and they are all the same: shows the right way and the wrong way but its so ambiguous to me that I cant get a solid base of information to work off of when I hit the mountain.

Getting back to skiing after 13 years of boarding. I’ve been taught the oldskool ways of skiing and these videos are a massive help! Great personality as well! Keep it up!

[Ecoroof]

The wife and I are currently in Italy skiing. We have watched lots of your vids. Love the help and we have definitely improved from watching your videos

[supremejustice]

Wow I was a straight line incliner and now I'm so much more comfortable on steeper slopes, thanks!

[gustavlandin]

just a simple non requested advice: it is good to avoid the swing of both arms in and out of the curve, in order to have greater stability, precision and coherence between the upper and lower body. to avoid this, just try having both hands always clearly visible and positioned downstream, forward your gaze, thus avoiding excessive rotation of the shoulders and therefore of the trunk. sorry for the bad english :):):)

This is great! Returning to skiing as a senior after a 15-year absence. This'll help me go from angulating to carving and having even more fun on the slopes.

[nathanchildress]

I don't have super strong legs, and so learning proper carving instead of skidding helps me go all day and not be so sore!

[AnyaMuslimah]

Gulty angulator here! That parody looked like me 😆Now I see why sometimes, when I forget about the "technique" and relax, skiing works so much better, because inclining happens naturally. I think someone should coin more visual terms for the way it looks and feels - like being "concave" or "an elastic spaghetti")

[PepeVega]

You are now my favourite YouTuber. I feel like I'm skiing just by watching you.

[xander-san]

Nice video! Some things I would like to add for peolpe trying these out.

1. Inclenating can be super good but you should keep in mind your speed really effects how much you can do it. when your going really fast you can lean over a lot more beacuse of the gyroscopic forces, but obviously if you try this on flat ground or on a green you will fall right over. So make sure your still maintaing that outside ski pressure.

2. A big thing that really leveled up my skiing that you didnt touch on was flexion and extension or fore and aft movement. At the higher levels I find people try and be in the front of their boots thruout teh entire turn. but if you get realease that pressure as you start that edge change and then push forward and you can change your turn shape and also engage the entire ski.

This video couldn’t have come out at a better time, I’m going skiing this Friday. Thanks man!

[unknownvinnumber]

What is the difference between angulation and inclination?

[anthonyalpha]

Gotta say, after maybe my warmup lap, it's incredibly HARD for me to avoid ripping into that tasty looking off-groomed soft snow every run! Think I'll have to dedicate a firm wintery groomer-type day to this type of training. Good stuff man!

Ok I stand corrected, the Swords drill and Outside pole drag looks like a lot of fun, I'll have to add that to the mix. I do love drills!

[ibbumpn]

Just to make sure we're speaking the same language: Inclination is the angle of your body and or skis compared to the ground. Angulation is the lateral movements at the joints to create angles and adjust your COM?

[holodukea]

Also important that you turn your body into the corner the very last seconds. It makes your skies bending to an extreme so your next corner will be almost like a jump, because your skies will extend like a spring.

[kunk]

great video man, gonna help a bunch for the upcoming snow season here in Beijing😮

[danhxxx]
