I DON’T WANNA SKI 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 AND MY DAD IS (BTW not my dad is not using the device right now) MAKING ME DO THIS RIGHT NOW 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@shortizahn]

This is so cute.. And i think you are so talented teaching people, you just have the right feeling and empathy for that kind of stuff. I really think this is a special talent

[@nb5247]

I went skiing for the first time a month ago. It was one of the most fun things I’ve ever did! If anyone gets the chance to go skiing, do it you won’t regret it 😁

[@StompItTutorials]

I’m happy to hear that! Enjoy your future ski trips😀

[@chibby8903]

I went for the first time today!! With a group of friends that have gone before but I was a total newbie. By the end of the day I was zoomin!! Absolutely amazing I will go back any chance I get

[@mjclaudianava5397]

Can skinny People do it? Do you need alot of strength? For balancing

[@libbad7419]

I did recently. I was OK. Hired boots n skis. They were apparently my size, but I couldn't turn properly. I couldn't get the leverage in my ankles. The more I tried, the more it hurt. Its probably the cheapish boots?!?!

[@libbad7419]

@@StompItTutorials do you know why my ankles felt like they were being crushed. I am a waterskier, so felt at ease. My mates had their own stuff. They had no problem turning. Do you think it's the gear?

[@john-tomlinson]

Nice. But as soon as he said he'd skated, surfed and snowboarded I thought - "never on skis but not really a beginner"

[@imac195]

Late reply i know, but it's very much possible to learn how to ski in one day. My first time skiing the closest parallell i had was ice skating which i was terrible at. So i just learn the basic knowledge on how to brake and taught myself to ski by riding the easiest hill several times until i felt secure.

[@MrNoerull]

You are absolutely right, but the progression is still good .So if your student have never skated/surfed/snowboarded, may take longer to learn, but in the end he will have to follow the same steps

[@LVS-vc6rw]

Yeah me too, I was expecting to watch a true amateur

[@Vividvisualsai]

OBAMNA?

[@Mrbigmike311]

Also that hills really helps for begginer and learning, it’s not too steep, haha today I went skiing for the first time, it was awesome i fell a couple of time the trick is to really not be afraid and let yourself go, don’t force it just go with the flow, I saw kids like small kids do it, I’m a grown man and said if they can do it I can do it hahah tomorrow imma practice parallel turn and turning

[@AG-wv4lq]

Guys i've never been on ski, and i watched this tutorial and after the second way down i was ok and i didn't fall even once! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING ❤

[@CngDelta757]

Thank you for the wonderful presentation! I had much more challenging conditions, a smaller steeper bunny hill, lots of traffic, and a group lesson. I got the fundamentals but Where Osman had those concerns about forces and managing turns and weight made the circuit connect. I'll try a larger hill like that one and I think it'll be fun! Thanks again!

Thanks for this video now I have an Idea how to teach my girlfriend how to ski!!

[@luisguareschi5104]

Same boat ma man

[@davidgoodman3600]

do yourself a favor. Save your relationship and have your girlfriend buy a ski lesson instead. I am a fulltime ski instructor and I can't tell you how many relationships I have seen end on our beginner slopes.

[@peshosan]

What @OG GOODY said my man! Get her lessons while you go and get some laps in. I tried the teach her my self approach last year and the next day we were down at the ski school.

[@rcvesco]

Og got it right...buy her a lesson....you'll save so much by doing so.

[@markmd9]

if a ski lesson can break a relationship, it doesn't worth saving. To teach you need to have a lot of patience and sacrifice your ski day, it worth paying besides ski instructors also need to eat.

[@mikejeskin7420]

such awesome videos, you should do more vids with Osman and maybe more ski hacks?

[@mirceacristian5664]

Excellently filmed, arranged and great lesson ! Totally love it !!

[@mirceacristian5664]

I am really happy you fructified the chance of doing a big favour to someone. This stage of "frustrated not even-skier" puts everyone on the balance of even quit a sport that could have later on bring amazing satisfactions and benefits. Do you know any trick for learning how to slow down? I had for my first lesson an instructor that kept screaming at me " Do the slice of pizza ! Do the slice of pizza !" ( reffereing to that position when you do a sort of triangle with your skis and are also on the edge of the skis) and i kept saying " i am trying but i can't !" ( i was either on the edges, either doing the triangle but not both in the same time). And that was the whole "lesson" about. Like you said: not being able to explain how to do it, the "instructor" limited to just show me how she was doing it. Not very useful...

[@QuaZdk]

Your videos makes me miss teach skiing - been 5 years now - but this winter I'm taking my nephew to Chamonix for his first ski trip and your videos are such a nice resource to revisit all the basic techniques of teaching. I was a bit surprised though with how you taught plough turns - I always taught my pupils to move the center of weight to turn and not the "point you toes". I think this puts less strain on the knees - but I'd like to learn the ideas behind your teaching methods =) Best regards, - and again thx for creating these excellent resources :)!

[@juniorjohnson9509]

Like this guys approach - start them off with the "old time" methods that teach edge control, weight shifting, and skid turning, exactly the things beginners need to know to control things when they get on a slope that is a bit too much for them.

[@ljshoreslokal]

I love your video's and your style of skiing. I'm 43 and getting back in to skiing after 20 years of snowboarding and skis have really changed. Suggestion: Can you please make a "how to ski twin tip (rocker/camber/rocker) skis?" Not as easy as some might think. I tried my first time last night and the skis kept over rotating in my turns, kinda squirrelly to be honest. I'm riding the Armada ARV 106's FYI. Any advice would be great. I'm just a free ride type that loves some side hits and I want to learn some flat land tricks too. My skis are fresh tuned and waxed too.

hi i think im pretty exprienced at skiing and i want to start a bit of freestyling so i want to hit some jumps when i am confident that i can do the jump and land good on my feet, than ill try the jump but when im in the air i panic. Im wondering if you can make a video about 'how not to panic in the air while doing a jump'. I really like you videos as well and wanna say keep up the good work.

[@mint4778]

First of all, dont think too much just do it. Second, belive in yourself. Third, watch stomp it tutorials on how to jump and make sure you have a good pop. Fourth, keep your legs locked (but a little bit bent) and with some space inbetween. Make sure you look forwards and not to much down. Start with small jumps then bigger and bigger Sorry for writing a bible but hope this helped

[@csmith0244]

So my girlfriend has had two lessons and is basically here at this level and making more parallel s turns. After two lessons I feel at some point she needs to learn how to slide and skid and do the basic hockey stop so she can stop if she needs to and also use skidding and sliding to control speed as she gets off the honey hill so she can better control her speed on steeper terrain. I am a self taught advanced intermediate and we are going to Colorado next month. Am I correct on her needing to learn this next? I feel she is timid and scared to take it to a bigger hill and feel if she could slide and skid she would feel more in control but they haven’t taught her that yet. You can’t always just make big s and c turns in my opinion. I want to help her get to the next level in her progression.

Thanks for this Video i was for 2 days at Åre and i try my first attempt with skiis... Almost to die but was amazing. Btw my problem in corners is i cant turn left so easy i feel my skii stock on snow or block me.

[@cindydouglass7631]

I find the title and image of this video discouraging. I am 62, overweight with minor balance issues and a left foot that turns outward by about 15-20 degrees. I've never even skated. I NEED to learn to ski. My reasons are personal, but assure you there is a very compelling (to me) need. My first lesson just showed me that skiing is an out of control, masochistic, activity. I couldn't even snowplough to a stop. Maybe I will be able to at my next lesson. Someone told me to try shorter, lighter skis next time. So you show a young , very fit, person as your beginner. Whoo hoo. I saw 4 year olds mastering their first day of skiing when I took my first lesson. Show me someone like me learning beginner skills in one day, and I'll be more impressed. Now I'm off to view the video for tips. I'm sure they will be great. Just letting you know, though, that the first impression of this video is not helping me to gain confidence.
