I can ride black diamond mountains and i know how to ski and love to ski, but ive always wanted to learn tricks so thanks for the video!

I’ve been skiing for 13 years since I was 3 but I’ve never tried to learn any tricks. This video helped a lot!

A quick tip from a former elite gymnast and trampoline jumper: if you’re looking to spin well, keep your arms tightly to your body! the further out your arms are, the harder it’ll be to rotate as it hinders you by creating a restistance in the air. you can practice this without skiis by jumping into the air and pulling your arms in, then doing it again with your arms wide out. it’ll give you a clear perspective of what i’m trying to explain. the same technique can also be used if you’re ever in danger or loosing control of yourself in the air. put your arms out to slow the speed of your spin, and regain balance. although i hope none of you actually get in the situation of loosing control, some will. it’s important to know exactly where your body is when in the air. practice makes perfect, stay safe guys!

as someone who is TERRIFIED of the terrain park but is desperate to learn, this was literally the best video ever. thanks so much man

[DerMedienIngeniuer]

I cant‘t wait to try these tricks with my first pair of actual freeride / freestyle ski

When you said it’s only a normal jump it clicked for me.
The reason why we watch these youtubevideos is because we are too scared to do it and do we tell ourselfs we don’t know enough and procrastinate watching videos.

This does not only apply in skiing, but to everything in life.

He said it’s just a normal jump. I bet you can jump without even thinking about it.
Now just jump with skis without even thinking about it. Done.

Life is a numbers game. You are not going to do it perfect the first time so you have to ramp up the numbers of tries. You will automatically be better, the more times you tried.
Forget about trying to study everything beforehand.

Take action boys&girls

The best ski tutorial channel on whole YouTube

[swagok]

I’ve been binging your videos this whole summer and now when it’s finally winter, all of them are going to come in handy. Thank you.

[trrzy]

i have been skiing for a while and "last time" i did a harder kind of trick i broke my arm and i haven't had the self-confidence to start making tricks on skis again. And i think i have found the self-confidence to start with the tricks again but now i am making sure i am doing them right.

[rubenr.]

this makes me wanting to go skiing now too :(

[krypax]

7:41 when the teacher is suprised by his own skill ^^

[Bloedfisch]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Pointing the tips downwards made everything look sooo much better, and the landing is so much smoother for my 43-year old joints. It's amazing what difference just one piece of advice can make. Thank you for that! Also, having the patience to wait for the highest point in the trajectory before doing the spreadie changed a lot for me. Finally, it feels perfectly right. I did not get much farther than to the spreadie so I can't comment on the other tricks but my boyfriend just did his first 180 and his first grab after watching your videos. Amazing!

[simeonerdner]

lol 0:07 "I love Skiing" Just the way he says it :)

[alekcorriveau]

It’s so damn satisfying when he lands when he’s teaching how to jump in the beginning

[sierrademarest]

I’ve always found the thing you mentioned about the breathing at 2:46 to help so much. Glad I’m not the only one who it works for!

[Joe_Cribben]

Just came back from skiing and the trick you did in the first 5 seconds caused my biggest and only crash where I kneed myself in the chin and flipped 4 times. Can’t wait to get back and try it again with some more tips 👌

[theders]

Been skiing for 15 years now. It's about time I really start learning some tricks
