Improve Your Short Turns | Use 1 SIMPLE Drill On Easy Terrain

[@vicyll]

Thank you Tom for the tip. Just pushed myself through this exercise last weekend. Really took my turns and grip to next level quick. I’m amazed!!

[@Bigpictureskiing]

That’s awesome to hear! Keep at it!

[@imadrawing1134]

this is by far the best short turn video hands down!!

[@matteoallegretti1663]

One of the best short turn tutorial I've ever seen so far!

[@Bigpictureskiing]

Glad it was helpful!

Demelza rule😊

BEST ski instructor on the planet is Tom. Wedeln is back woooho

[@Skedawg88]

I do not straight line. I enjoy turning too much. Great drill, steer and edge set while snowplowing then take it into parallel. Thanks Tom.

[@Bigpictureskiing]

I’m glad it helped!

5:20 to 5:30 all by itself is a GREAT training video!

[@ladperenyi993]

Very solid and useful set of exercises which can be deployed on boring terrain instead of "parking and riding"!

[@ardenpowers7730]

Great video . . . even for some instuctors. Obviously, it's important to be able to properly finish each turn. Thanks for sharing . . .

[@magnificoas388]

That is quite nice for working separation :) Just one thing to be aware of: see @2:00 while you demonstrate. Be very careful with your external knee entering inside. This is prone to injuries when you repeat turns and doing so in free skiing. However, your friend @6:00 does it the right way :)

Nice colour skis. Good video. Skiing is like boxing - its compact, tight but loose and reactive.

[@georgecuster527]

Thomas is such a beautiful skier . Bravo 👏

[@sabinebillon977]

So far so good, Outstanding demo: the secret of a solid snowplow. You’re a master👌thanks

[@sdl5293]

Best tip ever, great advice. Thank you Tom!

Glad it was helpful!

Brilliant lesson. Thanks 👍

[@mensuddevic8983]

I will try this tomorrow

[@invisibles362]

Extremely good video explanation.

[@MrDogonjon]

I use edge lock wedge with advanced students who often relate their goal is to get their feet closer together. They hate it. They always edge the inside ski and push the outside ski around in a skid blocking their hip to the outside. This is the reason they can't control the width of their stance. I find that stork turns put them on the outside ski then have them do wedge turns where they lift the inside ski but keep it in the wedge creating better angles then use Javelin turns to close the stance while maintaining the hip angulation during the turn. Few skiers understand that skill improvement must come from lower skill levels to progress to higher skill levels. Review of basics and refinements of precision create meaningful progress. Some skiers activly reject any wedge exercises and resent what they call regression. For these go into a very analytical mode and put each turn under a microscope. Over coach them with a barrage of tasks like hop turns they can't do, then go back to an effective progression..

[@PiperPiper195]

Brilliant - Thanks Tom for putting this together!

[@Bigpictureskiing]

You’re welcome!

[@alr2994]

Fantastic video. Great explanation and excellent skiing.

[@philliptoone]

2:14 Maybe more important that what to do was your demonstration of what not to do, or rather how to misunderstand the drill or purpose. I'm going to experiment with this in my lessons with the kidos this season and see how it goes. It seems like everyone is always so focused on getting the kids out of the wedge. Maybe a better focus would be using the wedge to learn short turns.

[@Scandinavianalpscoffeeroasters]

Looks like a classic Norm K drill. Great explanation, demos and filming.

[@LiamOBrien-m2q]

Fantastic video-the movements and targets are so clear and perfectly demonstrated (I love inclusion of common mistakes, too!)

[@Bigpictureskiing]

Cheers!

[@KirillChufarov]

Thank you Tom! Will try first thing on the slopes this season

[@simonwiltshire7089]

Fantastic content Tom. The lessons are always amazing. Thank you.

[@Bigpictureskiing]

My pleasure!

[@simonwiltshire7089]

@@Bigpictureskiing Not thinking about doing European camps are you Tom?

[@michaelcase6261]

Thank you!

[@sandygilmour5444]

Great tutorial - thanks Tom

[@richardcasey4439]

These fundamentals are so important to good skiing technique

[@Esperluet]

Nice tips 👍

[@roy87345]

WOW!! Very clear and super innovative ❤❤❤

[@Bigpictureskiing]

Thanks, I hope it makes a difference!

[@richardqueenscliff1565]

That was a really great lesson !. I’m going to give that progression a go and will probably replicate with my guests ❤Richard your locker room Buddy 😊

[@johnbarnhart7174]

Excellent Video !!!

[@Bigpictureskiing]

Thank you very much!

[@strongopinionsongear]

Nice drill. I’ll give that a try. If you did that on a cat track at my home mountain (Vail), you’d get crashed into pretty hard. 😂.

[@daniel221078]

Hey mate, I have a question, because I see it many times from pro skiers, on the other hand I don´t see it from othrt pro skiers. If you make the turn, I can see in the slow mo, you lift your heel and the back of the ski slightly with the inside leg. I´m confused sometimes to do that or not. Greetings from Germany

[@ehyojono]

Was this filmed at Silver Star Resort in Vernon BC?

[@riccapatrol]

Thanks Tom!

[@Bigpictureskiing]

No worries!

[@PlaneImpactGolf]

Steer then edge pulse , Do you start with the inside ski first then the outside ski follows ?

[@biroloztekin6142]

Thanks

[@MrKarisMatikable]

legend, thank you very much!

[@Bigpictureskiing]

You're welcome!

[@normandog35]

Great Video as always! What brand are your Bibs?

[@Bigpictureskiing]

Thanks. They are from Onyone, a Japanese company. They make very cool but functional outerwear for skiers

[@brianoreilly1866]

Great!

[@chrisschultz7655]

You and Harb would probably get in a fist fight ☠️☠️☠️

[@kuanjuliu]

Is this what Eric Schlopy called the "edgy wedgie" in your podcast with him? Or is it a "crab walk" (also mentioned in the same podcast).

[@Bigpictureskiing]

This would be close to what he’s saying. Of course that’s my interpretation of what he was describing

[@kuanjuliu]

@ Thanks!

The word is use and not utilize. I would utlize a spoon to open a tin, but use a spoon to eat.🧐

Please learn something about biomechanics which you are in violation of.

[@anatoli28]

Jajaj this is bullshit ..embrace pmts

[@dj_617]

Yes PMTS 🤣🤣

[@anthonysears871]

That's just heel pushing. Not it!!!

[@Rolixinho]

I am not an expert but the heel pushing was happening during what not to do part. The correct movement is more from the hip
