Thanks, great drills, also very useful when there is fog.

Yea that´s the go to when you don´t see the ground.

@@beattheclock7509 Today I trained my 4 year old son for skiing.since he is still slow, I followed him by imitating these drills, and try to correct my small mistakes during the turn, after one hour, I felt much more comfortable to ski fast. Thanks a lot again for this video.🙂

I have found that doing some drills very slowly can increase their effectiveness...especially Garlands, starting at 2:07

[@azurezephyr1743]

great drill😍

[@Triggerboy62]

Good job :)

[@beattheclock7509]

Thank you!

@@beattheclock7509 BTW, the drill starting at 02:11 is very similar if not close to exact the same one to the one I build my short turn video on here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWXQh4aXmZqMlZo I learned it from a ski instructor in Austria, mentioned in the video, back in the 80s I think it was. Anyway, take a look a give me your thoughts.

@@Triggerboy62yess, it is very much the same exercise, in my optinion there is a sublte difference: you´re demonstration is more taylored for short turns, i.e. simulates the end of the turn AND the reaction you get from the skis , whereas her exercise is more taylored for a smooth transition within a carving turn. But in general it is the same exercise, fully agree!

The exercise @2:14 is called garlands.

Awesome thanks!

[@karlo407]

@@beattheclock7509 Do a squat. Squeeze the glutes at the top and see what happens to the pelvis.

[@hughlewis4471]

From the 1:00 mark, how is she able to have such a short radius on that turn?

[@beattheclock7509]

When the ankles, knees, hips, shoulders and head all work simultaneously and everything is well-coordinated, then it is possible to do these kinds of slow-turns with such a small radius.

Как ни странно может показаться, но ключевым моментом здесь является ранний акцент на носок лыжи, которая в планируемом повороте будет внешней. Выдвижение её немного вперед по отношению к будущей внутренней лыже приводит к довольно неожиданному сильному сокращению радиуса поворота - обе лыжи как бы "сами" идут в поворот. Активную роль само по себе начинает играть бедро внешней ноги. Это хорошо демонстрирует Кристофферсен в своем известном ролике "Start the turn like H.K". Конечно же, это не техника чистого карвинга, но весьма изящная! Я пробовал - очень интересный прием! В нём есть что-то от "телемарка".

[@williamspostoronnim9845]

Yess! Really low skiing is a good one! Да, в наше время практиковались такие упражнения как "гирлянда", "фестоп", "годиль-торможение" и множество иных, весьма полезных. Приветствую!
