5 Easy Tricks To Have More Fun Skiing

[@mbbrrffy]

Hi Jens, just wanted to mention that yesterday I tried your tips on making nice 360 (fully extending arms sideways and bringing them in for good rotation) and managed to do my first __10__ 360 in a row! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@StompItTutorials]

Fantastic! Well done :D

Something I don’t think you mentioned but is also a good point. Learning to do these maneuvers also improves your control of skis and also your confidence. If you get in a hairy situation it allows for more flexibility and comfort getting out of them if you have more “tricks” in your arsenal. And also stops moments of panic if you willingly put yourself in “uncomfortable” maneuvers for when they happen unexpectedly. I personally have always liked just going down groomers on one ski. People used to ask why and I didn’t really have a good answer. Then one day I caught an edge going quite fast and was thrown off balance onto one ski and was still able to maintain control and slow down. Always good to build control in any way you can think of because you never know where you might end up.

[@anthonyalpha4118]

I couldn't agree more. I was passing through some shaded moguls in June with caution, when I caught an edge and got spun. Without thinking I just went with it and slammed the brakes with a nice Uphill Carve, and found myself stopped on boot edges on the lip of a good sized tree well. I do believe this newly attained skill saved my ass from that tree well! I've found doing slope spins helps when you get spun out in moguls or pow, and have been working on increasing my 1-ski speed, and totally agree with the more tricks in the bag the better. Stomp It Bro!

[@BlahBlahBleh317]

Congrats to the cameraman. This was lovely shot!!! Also nice editing and great day to be out skiing!!!

[@StompItTutorials]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Pb079]

Yes, this is exactly what I needed. I really enjoy carving on the race skis, and I'd like to think I'm pretty good at it. But often I find myself in company of people who wish to go to smaller slopes or slower speeds, and it might get boring. I don't want to spend a whole day on blunt-edged park skis either. These are perfect for learning something exciting to challenge myself and keep things interesting while on any slope on the stiff skis is perfect. Thank you Jens!

[@StompItTutorials]

Have fun doing it :)

[@homeboywoop]

Modern park skis can carve nicely

Just some times. Great fun :)

[@4spectHVH]

These tricks are so fun when skiing, thank you for the tricks.

[@yes1708]

I can't believe i never thought of doing this. Looks like so much fun!

[@anthonyalpha4118]

This is 1 of the first videos I watched by you all. Shifty and butters aren't necessarily easy bro ha! I've watched this many times and still can't get enough. Doing the Air edge shift in the flats is fun but tiring, but it's very gratifying too. Off the rollers, well SWEET!. It actually helps watching this after some time has passed. I didn't even know what a shifty was 3 months ago. I've seen it live now, and it's sweet, especially when someone pops a quick 1 in the flats at the bottom of the run. So I'm appreciating much more now that shifty into the the edge shift. Really sick move. Mabey next season. You the man Jens!

[@bearclaw5115]

Not sure what I love more, the spicy tricks or the spicy accent!

[@gretabird7305]

shiftie is my goal for this season! :) Need to work on being more comfortable with speed. Seems like I really don't like not being able to stop, any ideas?

[@StompItTutorials]

Practise stopping. Do lots of hockey stops and flat slopes to as steep as you can find.

[@tommylynch7887]

also don’t rush the shiftie, make sure you’re stable in the air before turning your skis. And of course don’t forget to bring them back before landing

[@gretabird7305]

@@StompItTutorials thanks for the reply! I have no problem ripping it on piste, but something about being in chopped snow / bumps off piste makes me pull the speed brake! I think I'm terrfied of tearing my ACL - I have 4 friends who've torn theirs

[@gretabird7305]

@@tommylynch7887 Thanks! Went on a "be comfortable in the air" mission yesterday. Filmed myself dropping a number of baby cliffs and went over a ton of step-up jumps. I realize that when I think I'm going huge, I'm barely getting any air!

This guys passion for skiing really shows in the videos!! love it

[@johnmunkenbeck9527]

Hey Jens, Absolutely love your videos. You are a most charming and effective instructor. I havent skied i over 30 years but your vids have given me the itch to get back to it. Love your use of technology, your enthusiasm and humor and your love of skiing comes through. Your cameraman is fantastic! Here’s one problem though. You should sign on and off all your videos with your name and cameramans name. You probably don’t because of modesty but you reallyshould. Thanks for all the great work you’ve done. Be well

[@Lao-Lin]

Nice Video Jens, as always. :) I personally would love to see an in depth video on 540s & 720s, just bigger spins in general. I've made good progress thanks to your videos, now my goal is to stomp a big 720 with a grab this season. Your step-by-step approach and drills always help making the correct technique a habit and getting confident and consistent. Thanks for putting this information out for free!

[@StompItTutorials]

Noted! Maybe there are just so few skiers who wants that level of tutorials even if Id like to make it :)

[@theoutsider6191]

Haha, love edge changing in the air. Am getting on a fair bit now, and still hit the park and the big jumps, but don't spin much if ever anymore. But going 16M kicker and hard carve in large travel and shifty to landing on the other edges and carving out never loses it's appeal 🙂

[@extosadam1275]

I skied just before covid and I am obsessed now.

[@franciscooper4771]

Shaa shaa shaaaaa! Fantastiche Jens! Fun as always. Thanks.

[@msgesus4518]

I used to ski as a kid, I was always out of control but I loved it. You can go so fast on ski's. I switched to snowboarding at about 13 years and years ago but would love to give skiing another go at some point just for the speed.

[@Lovsnow]

Hey, you're me! I just picked up skiing again like you. So much fun... I won't say it's more fun that snowboarding but what a challenge. Skis rule on icy conditions. nice to relearn how to ride the bike.

[@DefinentlyNotBOB]

Loved the video and I am excited to try them out!! I am also wondering where u r from, first I was thinking Australia 🇦🇺 but then Switzerland 🇨🇭 and now France. So, tell me where are you from??

[@drenkrom]

Hiya. Maybe you could give some advice... I'd say I'm novice skier as in past years I just had total of maybe 3 hours of lessons (since scratch/complete novice) on silly 300-500m 'slopes' in my region. Just before covid in 2020 managed and we had 1st ski trip to Austria - which was great, but I really ran first looooong boring blue slope, then one above harder but still blue. Finished trip with first major red highway - straight down, not really hard. This year just came back from my secondary trip - this time Italy. Had great start, was running ALL sloped, blue and black, slow and cautious of course but no problems and LOT OF FUN. Took there 1h lesson and seems minor mistakes, just need to exercise and add miles on my account. Question about equipment - as you're linking beautiful skis. If I'm still considering myself as beginner/intermediate, only running prepared slopes - worth to think about my own skis? Allround or something like what you linked? Or just don't bother yet and get equipment from rental, as I did so far? I'm definitely not planning any time trials or anything competitive, just for pleasure of riding.

[@crachbandecut4506]

I have skied only 4 times in my whole life since 2011. Im pretty sure im gonna land with my skies crossed while performing shifty up the hill and crash. Gonna update you guys in a month how it ended.

[@ProDjMx]

[@kubamaciejowski6591]

That's cool!

[@Sethober]

Me personally if I feel like having a in woods or “fun” day on the slopes I will just leave my poles behind. I think it’s just a hassle on the jumps and weaving through trees to have another thing to look out for and I have my hand just in case

[@alexs5394]

nothing looks better than a good old fashioned shifty. i can do them on rollerblades but not on skis yet

[@StompItTutorials]

Keep the arms further away from the body when doing it on skis as they are heavier.

1 Laax, Switzerland mostly under the La Siala gondola. 2 Atomic Hawx Ultra 130. Carefull 130 may be too stiff for you! It comes in a more wide version too if 98mm is to narrow for you. Det var så lite.

Can you do these tricks on any skis do you think? Great video thank you.

[@StompItTutorials]

Yes you can!

[@LaneLawrence]

Do you recommend carving skis for this tutorial? What width underfoot 80 - 85mm? Love the vids, thx 🤘

[@jurreimink1824]

I want to start with doing more tricks while skiing. Could you guys recommend particular skies to buy, or should these things be possible with all skies

[@skitheworld1963]

I think I'm decent at carving and just going down the hill in general but I have a hard time with jumps. It always seems like if I hit the jump with enough speed for some air that I will land very poorly. This jumps usually aren't very well made but I have seen other people hit them just fine. Do you have any tips for landing better?

[@alexchopskie6549]

if you pop like he did in the video and extend your arms straight out sideways I feel like I always land perfectly when doing that

[@kijean2657]

He’s got another video about this exact thing, from what I gathered when you pop up on the jump is important because it sets you up for a good landing. Popping at the top of the jump and not too early. I haven’t tried it yet as I am only on my second season learning how to ski but I plan to soon!

[@neeko.b]

Make sure you're centered throughout because if you're off-balance at any point, it's gonna affect your landing. Approach the jump with your knees bent, shins with a little pressure on the front of your boots, and your arms in front and bent at about a 90 degree angle (almost like if you were about to get a pass in basketball). Pop up a little when you hit the lip, but don't let that shift your weight from the center, and don't let your arms fall back because believe it or not that will affect your balance, then try to hold that position in the air. As you land, bend your knees as much as you have to to absorb the impact, again, all while keeping your arms forward and your weight centered. That's the instructor answer from me, so hope it helps.

Sweet

There is now only one type of ski technique camp which is Intermediate.

you speaking for the 2% of the skiers, to be able to achieve those tricks you need to be hella comfortable skieing in the first place

Of course. I feel like this channel is really for intermediate skiiers who want to get to the next level.

[@shirleyracing5283]

What kind of terrain do you recommend practicing shifties on first? Jumps? Rollers?

Rollers or small jumps, but not to small so you have enough time to go back to normal.
