Slow motion giant slalom alpine skiing action ski alpin technique

GS turn, the mother of all turns.

such a shame the changed the allowed specifications on GS skis, watching Ligety carve those arcs years back was a sight to see. That said, knees were being blown out too frequently so I do 'get it'... the way these lads are throwing them sideways then the edges bite is impressive and takes insane 'touch', timing, strength and balls.

This video should have 5 million hits rather than 5 thousand and those hits should be by young racers. What an education this is!

[@DmitryKudryashov91]

Amazing slowmotion!👍👍💥

[@markjones3425]

Throw back music for modern Ya Yas!! Great video, Thanks

[@edllorca9468]

Amazing footage. Not sure it teaches any technique but fun to watch.

[@simhanssens7331]

Very fun to analyse things that are "Not done" in normal skiing but are applicable in racing since it's all jsut about time

[@jamesgarcia9123]

wow! o so fast! great footage! down hill slalom gets you pumped up to go carve it up! fast'! peace'

スローだと迫力が有るよね、日本だとレース以外は軟らかい雪が多いから、レースの板は楽しむ範囲が限られちゃうし、深雪も楽しいからね、アイスバーンで沢山雪煙をあげるスピードとパワーは感動するよね、横に飛ばすのは減速だけど美しいよね。

Maravilhoso👏👏👏👏🙏🇧🇷

Very difficult technique of driving on an inside ski. The winner takes all or nothing. It is old school telemark skiing technique.

Да это не техника гиганта, просто пацаны мучаются на трассе и выворачиваются из проблем )))

[@Chopin4321]

Too dangerous.. Too fast.. too much inclination.. too hard snow.. bad course.. this is not a sport anymore.. old skiis and older technique were much safer and estthetic.. too many injuries are ruining even the greatest skiers.. its a circus.. skiing is a different thing.. this is sad

[@JB91710]

The word "Technique is misleading in describing this video. It implies a teaching demonstration. In the vast majority of these clips the racers are making desperate moves to recover from bad lines, loss of balance and improper upper body positioning and forcing the skis to change direction because of a tight set of gates where it would be impossible to allow the skis to make those turns on their own. This would be better titled, Giant Slalom Turn Recoveries or something of that nature.

[@toppervanbacker2131]

Clearly soft snow highlights these turns/course preparation..skiveting as seen with the volume of snow being created is improbable on a 'treated' hill. Not a great example.

Recovery requires technique and is an essential part of worldcup skiing where all athletes are pushing their limits.

[@loghog4392]

@@dj_617 I agree whole heartedly! I sat there for an hour and watched Marco Odermatt make just two turns over and over, one left turn that launched into a severely off camber right turn that was pure recovery from the launch. By the end of the hour he and his coaches had worked out an ugly but feasible solution. He never crash crashed but slid out several times in that hour.

[@markwolford4329]

So much BS comes out in analysis of dynamic movement!!! It is all about adaptation to forces, scrubbing just the right amount of speed to maintain the desired deflection! ‘Technique’ is merely an observation that topically looses accuracy when discussed!
