How to get out of the backseat with your skiing (CASE STUDY)

[@jeffscott7223]

Positioning is something I like to focus on right off the chop. Getting into the stacked position with arms properly set. Too often, instructors address it briefly and then move to how to make the turn with your lower body but positioning is foundational. Without it, making turns becomes more challenging and cannot be properly appreciated. Excellent example thx!

[@raylee7227]

you are absolutely right, it doesn't take one day or two, it takes time to get the right body position.

So reaching out for a pole plant isn’t taught anymore? Puts everything in the correct position, pressure on the front of your boots

1:58 Nice turns,bravo !

[@faustoemattia]

Yeah but at the end? What Is he trying to do ? Or thinking about ...move the hips forward over the feet or pull the feet back under him ? What was the drill ? The tip you gave him ?

Sorry this was just an excerpt from the full video on the projected productions all access pass.

@@ReillyMcGlashan all right ...thanks R.

Clickbait :-(

[@anninadebiasi912]

Looks like he made a great change!

[@ReillyMcGlashan]

Yes he did!

[@jharomeer]

Could you kindly clarify: What was the reason behind transitioning him to the blue slope before he had the opportunity to address the issue of being in the backseat on a gentler, green slope? Why wasn't the technique of up-unweighting (after resolving the backseat issue) taught on the green slope to help him maintain control over his speed?

[@anninadebiasi912]

Very interesting!!

[@Geojack53]

At what point do you address the "squaring up" of the upper torso with the front of the ski's at the finish of the turn? While they are still practicing this or later when they have more ownership of this new turn initiation.

[@ReillyMcGlashan]

we did work on other things besides the fore/aft position. He forgot the middle position when he had to concentrate on a new thing (like most people do), so as soon as someone knows where and how to be in the middle without thinking of it then its probably the appropriate time to move on to other things. My guess is it will take him a few weeks of skiing to really take ownership of this new position before he can start thinking of other things and not forgetting his position.

This is me. I struggle with this constantly.

[@davidclymo7285]

Flex ankles knees hips equally.mostly start in balance

😎🤘

[@geoflaw9386]

You never explained the HOW! (-!!)

[@ReillyMcGlashan]

Not in this short excerpt, it’s just part of a bigger video on our all access pass. There it goes over the exercise

[@Scandinavianalpscoffeeroasters]

Looks like his boots might be too big also.

[@ReillyMcGlashan]

He has an interesting foot... We had a look at his feet and boots indoors... Very long skinny foot with skinny ankle so as a default he has room around the leg. He would probably go well with a few spoilers

[@cbrbimmer1]

Wow. What a horrific video / instruction.
