All this just points out for me the value of working with a teacher who can communicate without judgement. You cannot see yourself. And even if you video yourself, you have your own personal bias that clouds your interpretation. There is always room for improvement within all of us. Just really appreciate how Scott conveyed what he thought he was doing, and how Deb was able to adjust his interpretation, and communicate a way for him to make his own adjustments. Really terrific.

Wow, awesome videos! I just want to say thank you 🙏🙏🙏 Beginner, advanced, ambitious recreational, ski-instructor or racer - anyone will get benefits out of this. I am a Level 2-ski-instructor and most helpful for myself: the Videos with John Leffler, Wilson and Scott. The picture of pushing a car enables myself to get a new and sensational understanding, how far I have to push/pull back my new outside foot and which muscle have to work to move the hip forward. Another learning effect: how to drive the inside leg forward instead of overflexing my body in the hip (which is my „favorite“ mistake).

as an instructor, your movement analysis at every shot of these two videos is invaluable ... it's exceedingly rare to witness someone as articulate and observant as yourself ( re: the physical and biomechanical demands of a ski turn ) work with someone who already skis at such a high level as scott. not a single psia event i've experienced has come close to wisdom gained in speaking to these topics. i'd greatly appreciate more of this, because you're picking up on small movements that are hard to separate out in real time. also cheers to scott, inspirational to see you let your skiing get broken down while you worked to reorganize your understanding ... i know it's sometimes hard for people to let go enough for real change to take root.

@@scott.e.wiseman really appreciate your reply, scott. can i ask a personal question? given the progress you made on the paradox between not-popping-up and not-getting squatty, do you have language to share around the experience? it proves to be a tricky idea for people to communicate, even instructor to instructor and among expert skiers. ron lemaster suggests that motion must become so fundamental to how learn to turn, that it’s also tough to assimilate that lesson even when presented well. and i’d love to do a better job communicating to my own students. maybe you could identify the obstacle you faced in shaking that movement pattern, or, any shift in your understanding of how not-popping-up and not-getting squatty are actually complimentary, or whatever insight guided your progress? no urgency of course ;)
@scott.e.wiseman Жыл бұрын
@@shawnphillipsyoga3129 It is REALLY hard to to know if you are popping up between turns or not. Something I thought was subtle looked like a BIG movement to a critical observer like Deb. There isn’t proprioceptive feeling in our hips the way there is in our feet. I feel like many of the hip movements can only be seen, but not felt. Telling myself “don’t pop up” didn’t fix it for me. I instead I have to be aware of the replacement movement, and that is pulling the legs back under me, or making them short through that neutral part of my transition. As you pointed out, this is where the paradox comes in. Well, doesn’t that make us “squatty”? I don’t think so! This is only a temporary position we move through and the subsequent lengthening of the outside leg and shortening of the inside leg (both have to happen simultaneously) takes us out of that squatty position. The fundamental issue with my skiing I’m working on in these videos is not staying there. I used to over-flex at both hips and from here I’d dump my hips inside to edge my skis. The critical piece that was missing was the opening of the outside hip flexor. When that happens consistently, there is no more Squatty Scott. Ha!

I went back and watched the 84 winter games to see Deb's run and the mic is picking up her kiuping around every gate and even taking a few gates with her on the way and the commentators goes, "Debbie is skiing super aggressively; she knows what got her here and is making the most out of every kick right on the edge of being out of control". That I think is what she is communicating here, get the skis out slightly past where you are comfortable and trust the technique and technology will bring them back.

In the tuck exercise at around 10:45 what muscle activations are probably happening to allow the outside leg to go further away from the body's centre of mass? Am I correct to think that a lot of it is happening through the adductor of the old outside ski/new inside ski which then moves the centre of mass to the other side of where it was previously thereby moving away from the new outside leg? I'm trying to work on this stuff at the moment and really trying to understand the specific biomechanics of it.

Thank you so much for that video, Deb. Awesome information I really need. So you're basically saying to almost drop and really lengthen the outside ski and start driving immediately into the turn with the inside? That makes sense. I know I am guilty of the exaggerated movement thing, which is why Im driving into the turn with the outside too much (or at least I think). I just really enjoy pressing hard into the snow. It is costing me speed, though. The hips, too. I need to work on what youre saying there. I have to admit, the lengthening/dropping the outside ski sounds a bit scary...but it clearly looks right. Also what your student said about utilizing that 'force' through the movements is addictive. I so love this sport. I am addicted to it. My chickens are likewise depressed. But they have to cope. One more month of ski season left. 16" on the ground. Thanks again for your fantastic and informative videos.

Such little subtle changes make such a difference… I’m 65 and really started skiing seriously only 5 years ago, 12 days in CO last year and this year plan about 25 out west ( I live in MD) your videos are SO helpful. Anyway, last winter finally figured out to lean up on the edges and what a revelation! So fast and smooth compared to turning out backs of the skis! My friends - hey you got fast ! Thanks so much for these videos it’s worth a tip …

Scott is a Level 3 instructor? If he doesn't have clear understanding of these techniques, what has he been teaching his students?

Are you saying at Level 3 we have reached the end of our learning?

Taking some words from the other life, you are looking for: Angular momentum Centripetal acceleration Potential energy Force dissipation Friction (snow has friction coefficient) This is how skiing works. Boring right...

Skiing across and forward would seem to equal leg drive (commenting while watching the video)

I see too much break at the waist. More forward lean in his boots will put the body into a better position. All the joints work together, and everyone's anatomy is different. To stay centered on your skis, your ankle/boot forward lean angle and your waist angle are sort of inverse. If you have more forward lean in your tib-fix axis, you will have less waist break to stay centered. If you have too much waist break...try a bit more forward lean in the boot. This does not work for lower level skiers. A lower level skier will not have the feel to stay centered. They will not adjust. Scott is probably good enough that if you crank up his forward lean, he will reduce his waist break. Note that more boot forward lean is more physically demanding, so many people do not use it because it tires them out.
