Help! My skis are slapping when I classic ski

[@leonsergent253]

Great demonstrations and simple explanations as always Keith. You are my go to instructor for all my XC ski questions. How you get your videos done in less than 5 minutes while others take twice as long is a testament to the depth of your knowledge and experience.

Thanks Keith. I’d never thought about the second tip relating to an over bent glide leg as contributing. I’ll add to all the other things I need to work on for my classic technique :)

[@LeKingJohn]

I had the same thought when I was skiing just yesterday! Thanks!

[@ItsTooLatetoApologize]

Me too!!

[@richardh7774]

Great tip to stand up on the gliding ski to facilitate the reload of the other leg…..I was beginning to feel myself doing this is my last session, you just confirmed I was on the right track (groan) Thanks.

[@wstks-fmworldwide5390]

I'll echo previous commenters. Excellent and very helpful (clear) tips for correcting this issue. It hits me when I become tired and careless after a few hours (without a break) on the trails.

[@marjohn3449]

Great advice, thank you. Very helpful in your videos is that you also show how not to do it. And your explanations are clear and short. 👍🏻

This is so helpful. I took a XC skiing class and that 2nd point wasn’t even mentioned and I think that’s what’s also contributing to my slapping issue. Thanks so much

Hope it helps

[@danailvasilev8565]

Thank you. I'm a beginner skier and your videos have been very helpful!

[@k2nicol]

Glad the tips help

[@danailvasilev8565]

@@k2nicol haha. Videos I meant, not legs 😅

[@padmarai6151]

After watching this video i feel more ready to go sking tomorrow. Thank you

[@k2nicol]

Great ..let me know how you make out

[@michael_one_90]

Improved balance makes such a big difference. I bought a longboard after watching one of your videos on improving balance in the offseason last spring and I've noticed way less slapping this winter!

[@k2nicol]

Good to hear..keep up the good work

[@emzz1310]

Great video, it definitely applies to me!

[@light-and-thunder]

I appreciate a lot the good advices you are always giving here to improve our skiing! Thank you again!

[@mayb.wright509]

Great explanation! Really helpful, and pretty darn quick! THANK YOU!

[@dtlussier]

Great video - something I need to work on in my skiing too!

[@etapepartners]

really great explanation. thank you

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

I definitely need to implement this. Thanks!

[@k2nicol]

Let me know how it works

[@susannewilliams]

Thank you!

[@seriousbees]

I still feel a bit nervous going straight leg with all my weight on the one foot. Will need to work on that

[@k2nicol]

Doesn't have to be straight..but it helps to extend your glide leg to allow the recovery leg to slide under your body.

[@ItsTooLatetoApologize]

Great video. I do this. 🤦🏻‍♀️
