Yewww Jens! So stoked we got to film this collab together with the help of Carv. The coolest thing was getting to meet you and hang out for the week. Jens is just a great guy and now a friend. Cool to connect on many levels from love of sports, staying fit, being a Dad, and building a job around social media. Honored to be the guy that was invited to coach you Jens. Can’t wait to hang out again.

This must be one of the greatest videos of all time explaining what it takes to carve. Also it shows that even a fantastic skier like Jens still has a lot to learn and work on. Keep it up guys. Great work!

Probably the best expert skiing instructional video on drills to improve carving

[MacroLensMan]

The dream collab, my two favourite ski channels coming together. What a treat.

I can carve on my third season! I watched all the Tom ski analyses and practiced almost all of his video drills! Believe it or not, Tom @Bigpictureskiing is the king! Thank you, Jens, for having him! Great video put together!

[scollyutube]

That's one of your best videos ever Jens. Achievement was infectious.
I hope there were a few beers and fondue with Tom after for his guidance mate!

I feel this video shows the importance of a good coach. The way Tom created a progressive programme that set the groundwork and then built on it as well as the ability to spot small errors in body positioning allowed for such great improvements. His focus on learning the feelings involved allows you to continue progressing even when not working with him. Nice one

Thanks for a great couple of days Jens and Tom! Beautiful data ❤ and stunning improvement 🎉

[kuanjuliu]

❤ The best instructor teaching the best student. Please do this again with short turns and moguls — and then reverse your roles in the terrain park!

The outside ski "escaping" is what I always called this action @ the 11:25 mark. It helps gain speed and carry down course more but also gives the ability to then transfer weight. It's a bit of a double edge sword and could hurt if messed up at my current age so too tricky on courses now for me but could be fun for this drill!

Best ski video for this whole season!! The progress is apparent, Tom is such phenomenal skier and teacher❤❤❤

[camdorazio]

This tutorial was so fun to watch and listen to! I was able to replicate these movements within 4 runs today! I couldn’t believe it! You and Tom have such a great understanding of biomechanics, and how to explain it in a comprehensible way! Such amazing synergy! I could not thank you guys enough for making this video!

[raedslacklines]

Oh boy, the collab we've all been waiting for ⛷
Also this video shows a lot better how much base skill set is needed for this beautiful show off carv. Tom's videos made me believe I could do this. But when I tried I was blown away by the difficulty. This video shows the complexity in a much deeper detail. I'll give it sooo many gos for sure. Can't wait to get back on the piste now :D

[marcusgray]

probably one of the most informative and best instructional videos ever

[onlinewen]

Awesome, awesome. I can feel the joy across the screen. The joy of skiing, the joy of learning and the joy of teaching. Can’t wait to go back next week. I can do had drag already. Hope my ass won’t disappoint me.

[jimthomson]

I’ve been following both you and Tom for some time now, and you’ve both individually brought my skiing on so much!
But as others have said, this is the collab to beat all collabs! Can’t wait to try it out sometime soon.
And hopefully more from the two of you together in the near future!

[andyeql]

Yes...this is the perfect video for me in my ski journey right now. Obsessed with getting to this level of carving.

[markmatthews]

Great video no amazing video. I’ve been skiing with an ski IQ in the high 130s and the 139 as my highest
Went out today using this drill by the end of the day my highest score was 150. What an incredible feeling it is when you can carve like that can’t wait to build this to the 160s thank you Jen and Tom for this video.

[Steph-iwhr]

Nice vid to see Tom, incredible coach, with jans
Breakdown drills are so important to go step by step
Btw, jans has the good smile as he’s so proud of his improvement
