Grande vídeo amigo! Muito bom mesmo! Obrigado pela partilha máquina! Abraço.

[@RicardoBrancal]

Obrigado eu pelo teu apoio! Grande abraço

[@pierreheim4695]

⛷️🦾 Great carving and thanks for the warm up reminder for all the rest of us casual skiers. So important !

[@RicardoBrancal]

Really appreciate it Pierre! Definitely something to keep in mind

[@sucapizda]

This guy rented the entire resort and booted everyone ells out.

[@RicardoBrancal]

Ahaha! The others were resting on the apres ski 😂

[@lazyfloyd5476]

Hahahaa

I Wish 😂😂

It is his own one. :-)

[@sherrysu173]

Great video! That Carving is amazing! I also appreciate you showed the warm up before ski.

[@RicardoBrancal]

Thanks! It’s a really important part that is many times ignored

[@thetahoefox1788]

Love it, you’re railing turns with that perfect upper body slalom positioning. Probably some of the best crossunder/cross through I’ve seen on the slopes.

[@RicardoBrancal]

Thanks for the comment! It's actually way better now, and it will get even more!

[@ermin3963]

An absolute perfection! This will definitely improve my style. I have watched it over and over again while trying to body visualize every turn. I wish that I could follow you as you ski in front of me. That is the best way to improve. Great work!

[@RicardoBrancal]

Wow! Thanks a lot for the comment! If you check the latest videos you will see that I’ve improved as well 💪🏼

[@ptrckkear1]

Another great video. Thank you for reminding me why we love Italy.

[@RicardoBrancal]

Thank you for watching 🙏🏼

[@obaidahmad1114]

So satisfying to watch . A very nicely groomed slope and the carving is 💯

[@RicardoBrancal]

Thanks man! Really appreciate it!

Parabéns Ricardo, muito bom mesmo! Fiquei muito emocionada com este vídeo, lembro-me de ti em criança nas pistas em Baqueira, sempre muito atrevido e corajoso. Beijos e continua sempre a bombar

[@RicardoBrancal]

Muito obrigado! As descidas em Baqueira foram um espetáculo, bons tempos! Beijinhos

Ric, keep up the hard work. To ski like a wild man is the best. Conquer the snow, leave it melted behind you

[@RicardoBrancal]

Thanks man! I’ll keep pushing as hard as I can 🤟🏼

[@sandmarkan]

Amaizing! I really liked your video: preparation, and the warm-up looks like elements of a warm-up in ice hockey and especially liked the carving technique at the start, especially when you use one ski - it looks like very harmonious and technical. I will try to do something similar.Thanks! PS/please make more training videos, it's very interesting by the way - subscribed)

[@RicardoBrancal]

Thanks a lot! It’s a very important drill to have good feelings on the skis

@@RicardoBrancal Of course. Dolomity was one of my favorite European ski-resorts... 1200 km of well-prepared slopes and beautiful mountain scenery. PS: well, until I've got the knee injury, due to one a**hole on the hill, but that's another story.

Nice, you're stable. As an old high level racing skier who raced during the transition from skis of 2m to 1m75 in slalom I could give you some tips to become better, I'm ski instructor. I saw Portugal on your jacket, I supposed that there's not so much mountains to train there. You seems to be motivated...

What kind of ski are you ising in this VIdeo ? Is it Race one with short turn specifications ? IF you have brand and Ref I am very interested :) Great video, can't wait for next winter season watching this :)

[@RicardoBrancal]

Thanks a lot for the message! I’m using a rossignol 165 cm slalom ski approved by FIS

[@Stevoblues]

Curious?! Is the vertical white pack about adding to make heavier ..to go even faster? Or just mega Schnapps? Fun to watch!

[@KingErnst16]

youre really good! I have a question if you dont mind. When I ski I get really exhausted in like my thigh area.. Is that because I lean too much back or is it something else?

[@RicardoBrancal]

Hi! I guess you need to ski more and do an adjusted training plan on the gym

[@KingErnst16]

@@RicardoBrancal really? My cardio is really good when i run and I work the legs 2 times a week in the gym, surely it has to be related to technique

[@RicardoBrancal]

Then you need to ski more. Even if you train legs everyday on the gym, won’t be the same as skiing

It took me so long to warm up, but I took a ride on the children's track

If you understood a thing about skiing then you knew this was the perfect inclination for doing "the turn".

[@user-kw1li3vk2p]

0710442022 I'm sorry, but you probably don't understand me. I said that an intense warm-up does not match the difficulty of the track.😀

[@RicardoBrancal]

Warm up its essential bro

[@kram1019]

@@RicardoBrancal Brothers-skiers, I know what a warm-up before the start is. I myself started skiing at the age of 7 in the 20th century. Participated in student competitions. I have carefully watched and am watching professional competitions. But I see such show-offs for the first time. The video showed a medical center. Then warm up like before the downhill at the World Championships. It will be a very difficult and dangerous descent!?! I was interested. The intrigue increased from the start. And in the end - a children's track. Good luck and good snow to everyone. Be positive.Hello from Russia.

Ok cool. But your cameraman is amazing!

[@RicardoBrancal]

The Best!

[@markmd9]

When I watch videos about carving I think I understand the theory perfectly but if I go to try it out when I edge the skies I loose control and balance immediately so I have to stick to sliding.

[@RicardoBrancal]

Maybe your edges aren’t sharp enough

[@markmd9]

@@RicardoBrancal I think I have troubles balancing on one leg and my secondary leg might start carving its own different path. Other reasons: mountains are far from home and I can afford to ski only one week per winter. I'm afraid to go fast. I think the ski for intermediate that I rent might be too soft and too small radius for proper carving.

[@RicardoBrancal]

Yeah I think that’s the reason. Skiing requires a lot of practice. It’s not easy to carve well
