The best turns in the world

You wanna push the outside hip at the start of the turn to get more contact of the outside ski

@@skilife9768 Excellent, I agree 100%! Cheers from Argentina!

Yes, there is NASTAR which is racing for the more recreational skier, and FIS Masters for something more competitive and serious, both welcome all who are willing to put time and effort into learning the sport, and there is racing training camps that exist just for Masters skiers

Thanks a lot!@@CharlieSnipp

you can. but unless you have been skiing from a young age, and are comfortable on skis/snow, it is very difficult

I started skiing on a dry slope in the UK at about 10 years old. After lots of lessons I was accepted into my local racing team and was trained by ex national champions. Yes, i get that the UK doesnt produce the likes of Cuche or Hirscher but its still possible to get VERY good without having mountains around or beginning to ski as soon as one can walk..... I learnt to ski in Norfolk (the flattest part of the UK) but ...... if i may say so myself and at the risk of sounding big headed.... was turning heads recently in La Plagne.

I use Nordica World Cup ski

The sort skis have nothing to do with turning, it is your technique that counts!

@@dereckhasken9055 I just asked that question out of curiosity. However, if the sort of skis has nothing to do with turning, why do different ski sorts even exist - especially if they're destined for the same environment (i.e.: groomers)?

WOw. Just Wow. Saw your video. You're a pretty lousy skier. And that ON TOP of being an A-hole in your comment. The kid is an awesome competitive skier, and he is sharing the exercices which got him there. Also, coincidentally, those are the exercices used by the best racers around. You want to question them and make a fool of yourself? Be my guest. "That should work well!"

Javelin turns are a great exercise. Well demonstrated. The skiers also knows how to make a high performance slalom turn. Now you show us. Oh no, you can’t. I forgot. You are busy with your hands on handlebars and your ass on barstools l.

Javelin turns is a exercise for becoming stronger in the outside ski and therefore get a shoot out of the turn. If you slow down the video you can see at the entrance of the turn in the course is a javelin turn and all good skiers do that so you get pressure on the outside ski. I hope that answers you comment and next time we will explain better

@@skilife9768 I've been teaching for 55 years and know how other ski instructors operate. They create gimmicks and drills to deflect a student's attention away from their inability to teach skiing in a simple to understand way. The Only thing a javelin turn will do is position your upper body to face and lean down the hill in between the turns but totally destroys the next turn because the student will tend to step to the side and twist the ski to force it to point in the new direction. Like you were doing at the beginning of your turns. All you have to tell them to do is lift the tail of the uphill ski to make sure they are balancing on their downhill foot. When they want to make a new turn all they have to do is face and lean down the hill, with the pole plant, and get off their downhill foot and balance on their uphill foot. Gravity, their momentum and the ski design will do the rest.

@@JB91710 how many FIS points do you have? You have not been coaching professionally alpine skiing if you don’t think javelin is useful. Maybe new skiers get more out of pole plants but javelin is the most fundamental exercise in professional skiing

Thank you so much
