@Triggerboy62 Жыл бұрын
You need to have a distinct pressure phase in order to float through the transition. If you are late with extending after transition you will risk being caught in the back seat. It is a timing issue. This is the highest level of carving and will take some time to adapt to. Cheers, Tom

Hi Mr Tom. Do you suggest using the ski energy release technic together to get an even quicker edge change? Some call it ski pop. The way I do is at the end of the turn I give a quick sharp edge and release so the skis shoot under me and all I have to do is relax/flex and my legs go in new turn. Of course, your timing has to be precise. I even tried your dril to combine together. When you becoming good with low position dril you add ski pop to help. At the end of the turn you quickly drop edges or flaten the skis and quick edge release relax and your legs will fly under you on to the new edges. Maybe I'm not very clear for everyone but I'm sure Tom gets what I'm on about and can explain more clearly and even maybe it is a good point for making video no 2.

I'm a 61 year old skier, to extend after a turn was the norm of skiing in my days, I'm now putting focus on the new technique and try to stay in chair sitting position and flex out in my turns, I find the new technique much harder on my legs especially my thighs. Do you recommend skiing this way of skiing all day, what would wear most people out after 1-2hours of skiing with burning leg muscles? I agree this way of skiing is more dynamic, but also takes up more energy! Thanks for the well explained video.

@@josefschefer580 Hi, no this is not for everyday skiing, and yes skiing this way needs a lot of energy. It's a racing technique but it can be used in day skiing too, but you will not be able to ski all day like that.
@TheGpatters888 Жыл бұрын
@@josefschefer580 There's something not quite right with technique if you are getting a higher loading your thigh muscles. When done correctly there should be very little pressure on the skis during the transition so very little effort is needed with the legs. The aim is to use the forces from the old turn to "float" the center of mass across the skis, with the legs basically folding up in front to prevent the body rising too much. The legs are not holding the body up and this shouldn't really be more effort than a transition involving an extension. That said a flexed, compact transition is not needed everywhere. For example if you are about to ski straight hen may as well extend. BTW I'm older than you 🙂

Thank you for taking the time to make all these videos. Would you point me to a video in which you explain if and how you progressively change the angles as you move through a term. Is it a steady increase then sudden release? I'm fairly sure it is not just setting an angle and keep it till next transition but don't know.
@Triggerboy62 Жыл бұрын
You are right. It is not a park and ride situation so to speak. Pressure is increased dynamically at different rates depending on situation. And movements should also be progressive. A flex to release is a much more abrupt decrease in pressure while a up and over often referred to as a inside leg extension transition gives lets you ride the pressure longer. In theory your outside ski in never released. I need to make a video on pressure control. How to build it and how to release it. When and why. Cheers, Tom

Tom, the basic parallel taught by PSIA uses extension in the transition. Perhaps this is useful because of its simplicity, but creates a bad habit at the same time? For me, the key for avalement is to dorsiflex the outside ankle at the top of the turn. Are you doing that too? // Marshall
@Triggerboy62 Жыл бұрын
Hi Marshall. Thanks for watching. Yes, it creates bad habits. Basically everything we do can in some form or another be bad for something else. Yes, dorsiflexing the ankle is correct. Thats how we release the turn. And the tip often comes up off the snow. Cheers, T
@gogglebro9421 Жыл бұрын
@@Triggerboy62 Tom, the only thing in the video that I did not understand is why the tip will come of the snow? And are you referring to the outside or inside ski’s tip? If its not too much troubled for you, perhaps you can tell me the movements that create this reaction by the ski? It would be helpful. Regards, Marshall
@Triggerboy62 Жыл бұрын
@@gogglebro9421 it is the outside ski tip that will come up off the snow. Because you release the turn by flexing your extended outside leg. It is a combination of retracting your knee upwards, the ski sliding forwards and tentioning your ankle (dorsiflex).
@gogglebro9421 Жыл бұрын
@@Triggerboy62 Thanks for the clarification. I went back and rewatched your video and the explanation is all there. I find the terminology outside/inside sometimes misleading without reference to the uphill/downhill ski. What I see is that the retraction is of the outside/downhill ski and with that ski free, rotating it from the big toe edge to the pinky toe edge. I’m a recreational skier and generally don’t ski fast enough to need that much retraction where the tip of the ski comes off the snow. I simply lightening the tail of the ski which for me is generally sufficient. However, I reckon that I have to make the stronger retraction movement you’re teaching here when I’m going fast enough that my skis are crossing under using deflection. I now comprehend these differing techniques. // Marshall

Hi, thanks and thanks for watching. It is indeed interesting to watch Odermatt extend through the transition the way he does. However, there are gates where he flexes deep as most other racers. I guess it is possible in GS but not sure if that works that well in SL. Interesting season ahead, are there any new guys on the scene skiing like Odermatt?
