Gracias

[@SavvyDrifter]

This is my first season pass skiing and I want to give mad props to you for these videos. Over the first 2 weeks I've improved massively. Thank you.

[@StompItTutorials]

That’s amazing! Thank you soo much. Keep working on them turns!

[@anthonyalpha4118]

I know the feeling bro! My 1st day out after watching some of these YT videos sold me on the Beginner Tutorial pack. If you're there, feel confident enough, best $49 USD you'll ever spend. Just the beginning Pop, Slpoespins, beginning 180s/360s, and the first basic grabs, and switch skiing trainings, are worth it alone. Stomp It bro!

[@StompItTutorials]

If you wonder why your comment is not here anymore its because we had a technical glitch at the end of the video discovered by one of you wonderful skiers. I could not live with it so I had to re-upload this video so the comments we got dissapeared.

[@vickz2985]

Hej 😊

[@headphonic8]

Thank you for reuploading instead of just being worried about view count!

[@supremejustice22]

Wow I was a straight line incliner and now I'm so much more comfortable on steeper slopes, thanks!

[@JohnnyChonko]

The hardest part about all of this is how similar the "good" skiing looks compared to the "bad". I have watched virtually every carving video on YT and they are all the same: shows the right way and the wrong way but its so ambiguous to me that I cant get a solid base of information to work off of when I hit the mountain.

[@steffanhegeman6351]

Getting back to skiing after 13 years of boarding. I’ve been taught the oldskool ways of skiing and these videos are a massive help! Great personality as well! Keep it up!

[@Ecoroof1986]

The wife and I are currently in Italy skiing. We have watched lots of your vids. Love the help and we have definitely improved from watching your videos

[@StompItTutorials]

Great to hear it. Enjoy some Italien pistes and espresso from me 🙏

[@nathanchildress5596]

I don't have super strong legs, and so learning proper carving instead of skidding helps me go all day and not be so sore!

[@PepeVega]

You are now my favourite KZbinr. I feel like I'm skiing just by watching you.

[@kimballleighton4999]

This is great! Returning to skiing as a senior after a 15-year absence. This'll help me go from angulating to carving and having even more fun on the slopes.

[@gustavlandin1358]

just a simple non requested advice: it is good to avoid the swing of both arms in and out of the curve, in order to have greater stability, precision and coherence between the upper and lower body. to avoid this, just try having both hands always clearly visible and positioned downstream, forward your gaze, thus avoiding excessive rotation of the shoulders and therefore of the trunk. sorry for the bad english :):):)

[@hehehe2534]

English was great, good advice too!

[@Siatkowkarzadzi]

People apologizing for bad English almost always have a good one 😁

[@matthewbuddle6001]

This video couldn’t have come out at a better time, I’m going skiing this Friday. Thanks man!

[@StompItTutorials]

Glad I could help! Enjoy your ski trip!

[@anthonyalpha4118]

Gotta say, after maybe my warmup lap, it's incredibly HARD for me to avoid ripping into that tasty looking off-groomed soft snow every run! Think I'll have to dedicate a firm wintery groomer-type day to this type of training. Good stuff man! Ok I stand corrected, the Swords drill and Outside pole drag looks like a lot of fun, I'll have to add that to the mix. I do love drills!

[@AnyaMuslimah]

Gulty angulator here! That parody looked like me 😆Now I see why sometimes, when I forget about the "technique" and relax, skiing works so much better, because inclining happens naturally. I think someone should coin more visual terms for the way it looks and feels - like being "concave" or "an elastic spaghetti")

[@StompItTutorials]

Haha I love the newly coined term "elastic spaggetti" :P I´ll try to be more descriptive in the future :P

[@xander-san5874]

Nice video! Some things I would like to add for peolpe trying these out. 1. Inclenating can be super good but you should keep in mind your speed really effects how much you can do it. when your going really fast you can lean over a lot more beacuse of the gyroscopic forces, but obviously if you try this on flat ground or on a green you will fall right over. So make sure your still maintaing that outside ski pressure. 2. A big thing that really leveled up my skiing that you didnt touch on was flexion and extension or fore and aft movement. At the higher levels I find people try and be in the front of their boots thruout teh entire turn. but if you get realease that pressure as you start that edge change and then push forward and you can change your turn shape and also engage the entire ski.

[@samuelronald3085]

Totally, after doing instructing and learning likewise. Turn shape, fore aft balance basics and dynamic turn radius to adjust basics helped get my basics on point. But actively positioning / lunging forwards at the end of each turn and playing with general height in the control phase of a turn helped definitely to increase my edge angles and better my carving ski ability. Across any terrain.

[@boydsargeant7496]

Thanks, great tips!

[@kunk6846]

great video man, gonna help a bunch for the upcoming snow season here in Beijing😮

[@IMP3TIGO]

Great video, with even drone footage, thanks!

[@SADjang0]

Always love your videos. The most informative and helpful!

[@StompItTutorials]

Thank you soo much. Im greatful :D

[@belief93]

I did this right away today and it felt amazing! Thank you sooooo much❤

[@StompItTutorials]

Wonderful! Great Job. Straight line incliner no more?

[@PavelNetsov]

Your videos are amazing! Love it and can not wait to come back at the slopes!

[@ibbumpn]

Just to make sure we're speaking the same language: Inclination is the angle of your body and or skis compared to the ground. Angulation is the lateral movements at the joints to create angles and adjust your COM?

[@morg555]

Love your videos always so informative , hopefully I'll get that tingly tummy feeling skiing in January. thank you.

[@andrey007728]

Bro I love your videos! ❤

[@Anthroposophy_a_way_of_life]

Thanks for your tips , I got it ! ❤

[@markfrancis5751]

Awesome video! will take it to the slopes in January!

[@StompItTutorials]

Thank you. I wish you perfect conditions for your trip!

[@unknownvinnumber]

What is the difference between angulation and inclination?

[@jonisykes]

You get my like for the "Tingly Tummy Feelings" edit :)

[@holoduke51a]

Also important that you turn your body into the corner the very last seconds. It makes your skies bending to an extreme so your next corner will be almost like a jump, because your skies will extend like a spring.

[@magnificoas388]

Thx for the video. Your skiing is quite good. However you have a noticeable flaw: your internal foot is too much in advance when you enter the turn. It is quite a pitty since your sking is so dynamic :)

[@StompItTutorials]

Indeed sometimes its back. I thought I had fixed it but I see it in the thumbnail and it really annoys me.

[@RAIKKONEN111]

You might want stiffer boots when skiing a fis ski to be able to get most out of the stifness of the ski (I would say atleast 140 but ofc differs brand to brand).

[@jjr007]

I think the reason I don't incline enough is because skiing the east, you are more likely to encounter ice, where you are more inclined to go down from your skis sliding out.

[@radekradecki3187]

Soo to best carv we need balance put on inside ski turn?

[@Joe-wy2bn]

I want to carve! B-b-but I don't know how. I'm learning though, thank you!

[@123Dze]

Снимай еще. Доходчиво показано.

[@syniodesign]

Great Video Thanks.

[@karlwilcox1784]

Me me me I want to carve like that! As an aging surfer but new skier I'm so loving the look of those carve turns and can almost imagine what they feel like. One thing I'm confused about is what are you referring to when you talk about the inclination before the angle at 6:27? As far as I can see you seem to be compressing then standing tall much as you would in a big bottom turn in surfing. Could you explain this just a little more please. Great videos!

[@sue8412]

You don’t want to stand tall, what he is actually doing is shifting his weight from primarily forward (balls of the feet) to more balanced/more in the heel at the end of the turn, to grip with the back of the skis and ‘pop’ into the next turn. He is also letting his weight and gravity drop his hip toward the piste (inclination) when he starts turning, which will naturally cause the skis to go more on the edge (angulation). If you just try and push onto the edge of the ski (angulation first) instead of letting your center of gravity shift, you will limit the amount you can actually go onto the edge. Try putting your hand against a wall and dropping your hip toward the ground vs trying to push through your feet to go onto their edges and you will see the difference.

[@ecorry6716]

I see in the thumbnail you say you can teach us how to go from good to great form. Can you do the same but starting with the hunchback of Notre Dame?

[@paulnehls4504]

I am struggling a bit with understanding what angulating and incline means here. Can you define these terms?

[@headphonic8]

Angulation is the difference between upper and lower body. Incline is your body lean compared to the ground

[@MrJegerjeg]

How much this depends on having your skis edges properly serviced?

[@asianboy592]

What's the brand of your goggle? It looks cool~ Ski ON!

[@markmd9]

When I go to ski I envy the angulators. About carving I can only dream.

[@voreas_snow]

I was wondering if you could show us some of your ski carving videos before 3 years...🤔

[@trumanhopper2493]

I couldn't see the difference between "angulator" and ideal. What is the visual difference?

[@StompItTutorials]

Hey Truman. It’s subtle to incline first then angulate. Excuse my imperfections in my demonstrations.

[@ogbobbyjohnson492]

Awesome thank you

[@StompItTutorials]

Our pleasure!

[@jscholex]

which skis are those? are those slalom skis?

[@0leandr1]

Much difference since last year - no toilet seat position 👍 So now it is time for flex&extend, which is proper toilet seat position 😃

[@StompItTutorials]

Hahaha thanks. Last week we filmed something talking about toilette seats :)

[@rul4s]

Stop standing up in the middle of turns, that will give you more angulation and faster edging

[@tehdreamer]

Yes this video contradicts how pro carvers ski, keeping low and angled throughout the transition and extending sideways during the turn.

[@knodeldodel]

Awesome video! I think I am an angulator because I never seem to get those hip to the snow type turns on tv. Looking forward to trying these tips in the slope. I have however got one question, I tend to, especially when it's maybe a bit steeper, lift my knees up to my chest, keeping my body still, which I would assume makes for less inclination. Is this totally wrong? I do not recall where I learnt that.

[@StompItTutorials]

Like a cross under? If yes then no you can still topple then angulate. Thank you very much! 🤜🏻

[@brianho6625]

How to such with hard snow situation for carving? The snow surfaces are too hard, skis edges cannot be bit into snow, resulting edges skidding continuously on snow surface How can people carve on hard snow?

[@sully_1]

Can I do this without poles

[@TheGryph78]

Hi, what are your egde angles?

[@StompItTutorials]

On this ski 0.5base and 87 side. But on all other skis i have its less agressive.

[@Siatkowkarzadzi]

5:20 What does it mean to "drag from the apex to the third of the turn"? It that from the moment of the turn when you are basically facing down the slope, to approximately 3/4 of the turn? And what is the point of it? To lower the body position from the inclined one? Can't check it on my skin now unfortunately

[@MegaTommy3000]

It looks like you are running a race plate? If so what are your thoughts on these?

[@StompItTutorials]

Im on a FIS race slalom ski so it came with plate and bindings. I think its heavy what is heavy also feels stable.

[@MurphsGhost]

My Carv app keeps telling me that I need ski uphill needs to be in front of my downhill ski. I am finding this very difficult to accomplish.

[@StompItTutorials]

That happens naturally as the inside knee is higher up.

[@wallstreetoneil]

If you happen to be an older skier that learned to slide the tails out to scrub speed as a method of skiing (you might also be a newer skier and do this), then as you do this 'slowing-down' technique, your downhill ski rotating/skidding out also causes your hips & upper body to rotate down the hill as well (which also happens to cause your uphill foot to rotate as well - this is all happening because you are subconsciously trying to slow down - this is VERY important to understand - you are scrubbing speed to slow down because your brain is making you do this for personal protection - it's normal). Thus, your uphill foot will never get in front of your downhill foot because your entire body is rotating as a method of scrubbing speed. My advice is to find a hill that isn't steep, in fact, it may be a beginner hill, and what you have to practice doing is getting on the uphill edge early and absolutely NOT letting the edge scrub out as it carves into being the downhill edge - as you use your very flexed downhill leg to absorb the forces that are now being generated by the forces that you may be uncomfortable initially experiencing & the SPEED that is happening because you are carving & NOT scrubbing. I have seen this many, many, many times - it's normal. Most people find carving hard, not because it is actually hard to do, but because MENTALLY their brain is saying NO to the speed that all of a sudden is happening - which their brain wants to put the breaks on and NOT allow to happen and thus they scrub the speed - it's almost always completely mental and normal. Find a beginner hill and dig that uphill edge in, hold it, do NOT let it slip out, and get your leg ready for the forces that are generated as in transitions into the downhill. carving edge - when you do this, with a flexed downhill carving edge leg, you will find that your inside leg shortens naturally and it will move in front of your downhill leg that is generating enormous carving forces. Hope that helps

[@MurphsGhost]

@@wallstreetoneil Wow, Thank you sir for the outstanding info. I will give it a try and let you know.

[@propro123_cz9]

I'm able to do much longer arc (i think). I feel I'm standing on edges and i can see that, because I'm still going faster than other people using sweet spot arcs, i can do also much shorter arc, even to the point when my skies just fell off from G forces (80kg and tightened up to 6,5), any explanation how am i able to do that (or tips to use that)? One guy saw, how am I riding, and he told me that I stand really weirdly, but i obviously stand on edges and go frickin fast...

[@lauravictoriamrk-hansen3654]

does anyone know the brand of his goggles?

[@StompItTutorials]

Atomic Revent.

[@leunamvon2565]

im new around Europe, can somebody tell me where to find this carving paradise?????

[@moxifloxicin77]

I still don’t understand what the angulator is. I’m not seeing what’s wrong with the technique when he demonstrates the angulator style. What does it mean to angulate?

[@kalu19991]

I know what feels good and looks good, but i dont have strenght and stamina in my legs to do it all the time.

[@tonyg3091]

Are these FIS SL ski and what TF did you do to your twin brother who loved fat ski so much and was so good at freeriding? 😂😂

[@StompItTutorials]

Haha Nice one! My inner freestyle/freerider is still alive and well but he realised FIS SL is rad too. We got now pow in the alps at the moment and I hope that will change soon :)

[@JimmyFlim]

Why is knee bend never mentioned as a factor in proper skiing?

[@StompItTutorials]

Great point, very important. But it’s not what I wanted to talk about in this video.

[@thevalkyire7950]

ok

[@StompItTutorials]

👍🏻

[@mud5150]

Your videos were much better before you started including the carv junk in them. I'm less inclined to sign up for a ski camp seeing how much emphasis is put on the useless carv scores.

[@StompItTutorials]

Sorry to hear that. Have you tried the device? I think it works well but if it annoys skip it and enjoy the 90% of the video without it. At the ski technique camps its very individual how much carv is used in the teaching. Some guests wants to use it more some less but in general it seems to motivate the skiers a lot.

[@LoLTerminus]

no idea what any of these words mean and you did a god awful job at explaining them. watching someone else

[@Anthroposophy_a_way_of_life]

You talk too quick

[@CostantinoLenzi]

You must start the turn with the new outside ski charge. So in the last exercise you charge the outside ski only from the apex. This is not correct because of you want deform the ski for make a turn before you bend it better is, in the middle of the turn is too late.

[@chunderwunderwhinger1331]

You appear to consider SPEED first, contra CONTROL....why is this ? .. GERMAN AUTOBAHN skiing,...is this the NEW WAY,PEOPLE SHOULD SKI ..? FAST & FURIOUS ?

[@chunderwunderwhinger1331]

An OLDER generation ski instructor of 13 winter seasons,...asks this question .

[@JavierSerraltaSanMartin]

good ideas..thanks.. but more for empty slopes.. competition.. people with very good physical condition..youngsters.. but curving like that takes the whole slope for your self.. straight line incliners skidding with small curving are more respectful watching each other.. they avoid more crushes.. injuries.. enjoy the view more than pure curving ...cruising like in train rails
