[@MarlboroBabo]

For many years, watching repeatedly, over and over, great! Thank you demon and racer!

[@ialus751]

Congrats! This is the ski flow! maybe when i’ll get old , or dead, i’ll be able to have such a flow!😀👏

Dober video. Obladata oba. Andreja Slokar je talent, ta punca nam bo delala še veliko veselja. Gremo naši!

Hvala!!! Mi tudi držimo pesti in navijamo! 🚀

I love the drills here and they are so well performed. I will practice all of them this ski season. Thanks!

[@DEMOTeamSloveniaZUTS]

Thank you! ;) Let us know if the drills helped you ;)

[@jamesdunn9714]

Great coach

Kakšna odlična metoda je to! To je vse, kar potrebujete za učenje smučanja.

Amazing exercises!! Best video! I progress skiing looking your video. Thanks a lot! Hello from Russia!

[@DEMOTeamSloveniaZUTS]

Wonderful! Thank you! What do you like best about our video? 😉

[@AlpineMeister]

Good Video well demonstrated excellent having students and instructor demo you can see what breaks down when the youngsters try some of the drills. As for Mr Chu, I'm not sure how he proposes to turn a ski. No unweighting and no extension he must be a turtle. I've asked him to send his ski video.

[@gu5907]

The old classic up unweighting from traditional skis is slower than down-unweighing for carving skis, and also causes problems with inside foot management for early edge angles.

[@gu5907]

In other words, Mr Chu is correct. It's much faster way of releasing turns, improves balance in transition for the upcoming turn, and is a requisite to be able to compete at the top level. To be able to down-unweigh, or flex to release (unweigh skis) and retract (pull feet back under hips while skis are light for fore aft balance), you need solid balance on the outside ski, and enough counteraction of the hips to hold balance on the little toe edge of the inside ski while you unweigh/release the outside edge.

[@gu5907]

Watch aReilly McGlashan and Hirscher after reading HH's essentials. Your eyes will open. Then test it out for yourself. Unless you're already doing it without being aware of it, you'll ski better in a season than you've done all your life.

Beautiful skiing.

Thank you! :)

[@СергейТюрин-н1ж]

Please do a few more of these videos is very much like it.

[@DEMOTeamSloveniaZUTS]

Thank you! We will! Stay tuned ;)

[@fernandog.aguirre2791]

Great demo, great drills!!! Thanks

[@DEMOTeamSloveniaZUTS]

Thank you! :)

[@iamthatiam1946]

very nice, the student struggles a little you can see, also the student has a slight A frame the coach you can see always gap between the knees

[@DEMOTeamSloveniaZUTS]

Thank you, great observations! ;)

[@BonnieSheppard]

I demonstrator is male, and it seems the skier is female. Female hip joints are not as vertical as male. almost unavoidable.

[@trouts4444]

It would be nice for you to put together a video with just a few drills 3-5 with video of drill done well accompanied with >>detailed

[@DEMOTeamSloveniaZUTS]

Thank you, we give detailed explanations at our courses, you should come and see for yourself. In near future we plane to do some videos with more details. ;)

[@SpartanThe300th]

@DEMO Team Slovenia - ZUTS, That sounds as though it's possible to attend your courses? If so, I'd really be very interested! How would one go about that? I have the highest regard for Slovenian Alpine skiers, not just the newer generation, but going all the way back to the era of Bojan Krizaj, Jure Franko, the late, great Rok Petrovic, Mateja Svet... Etc... Best regards!

[@jonathansanders2548]

[@leejaewon0706]

Well made Video!! can I use this project for junior skier? They need technical training to improve their GS turning

[@DEMOTeamSloveniaZUTS]

Yes, you can use it, but select the correct steepness of the hill. ;)

[@leejaewon0706]

@@DEMOTeamSloveniaZUTS Ok I will. Thank you for your cooperation!!

Watch Hirscher or Shiffrin transition: little to none up and down movements

[@AlpineMeister]

What are you actually asking people to do. No unweighting and no extension where did you learn to ski please send video and then we can all comment. Your second comment about flexing to unweight is real dinosaur stuff. it doesn't work very often. Try that in any broken or powdery snow conditions. The most important thing you can do is tip a ski anything that detracts from being able to tip a ski is going backwards. Compressed legs cannot tip a ski effectively. I want you to be able run along a wall thats how extension helps edge and tip a ski.

[@gu5907]

'compressed legs' ... lol, Chu is not saying both legs should stay short during edge pressure. You flex to release edges, it's not a position you maintain during the turn. The outside leg will naturally/passively extend to maintain snow contact and bear your weight (hence the point of counterbalance), but it will never actively press against the snow. The inside leg will always flex to increase tipping by getting the inside foot out of the way so your inside hip can drop inside the arc turn (which is why your counter action movements need to increase proportionally to the amount of inside leg flexing/tipping, or you won't have the balance to release edges by flexing (either a one footed or a two footed release) and the turn will break down, either by the tail slipping or by getting a stem in the exit of a turn. Educate yourself on the biomechanics first before you lecture Chu, who obviously has read HH's manual. I suggest you do the same.

[@gu5907]

The worse the conditions, the more positive the discrepancy between down-unweighing and up-unweighing becomes. The latter will break down technique under such pressures because it throws your body out of alignment after each turn, the former maintains it because you reset yourself in a balanced position during each transition. It's in the transition we're vulnerable to be caught off balance and where all the important movements need to be performed.

[@davidbeazer9799]

They are not “up unweighting” they are getting to the front of the ski in this drill, which does raise their body, and then getting it on edge. Only the angle between the knee and the hip changes. The angle from heel to knee and from hip to shoulder stays the same. Hirscher did miles and miles of this to then know when to alter or break the rules to suit what he wants to accomplish. He is still getting to the front of the ski early but a little different than this. Remember these are drills. Listen to Mikaela Shiffrin narrate this drill in the following clip. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJmafHlqbqythcU

[@Skedawg88]

Your movement analysis needs work.

[@lucassu9099]

The demonstrator looked as beautiful as a fuck....May I ask what type of ski is this? It looks even better than the CSIA masters.

[@DEMOTeamSloveniaZUTS]

Thank you! 🤘🏻

[@alchu577]

Good, but too much leg extension in transition. Try transitioning from edge to edge by flexing the legs and retracting the feet, not by pushing up away from the sow

[@2drsdan]

Perfect analysis. Less is more.

[@justyolivieri5807]

Feet retraction is as bad as extension. ...

[@davidbeazer9799]

True, this is not the highest level of transition but they are not extending up but extending forward to get on the front of the ski, which in this drill does raise the body. An up extension would involve the ankle joint opening and the hip to shoulder angle getting more perpendicular to the slope. Their heel to knee and hip to shoulder angles are staying the same while the knee to hip angle rotates the hip forward getting pressure to the front of the ski so when they tip the ski it starts to bite. The coach is the better example of what I’m describing.
