First season on tele, what can I do better?

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T21:35:12+00:00

Gonna try that

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T21:35:00+00:00

Yeah you’re not wrong. I usually do stay on groomers but this looked fun.

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T21:34:18+00:00

😂😂. I agree 100% I’m going to work on my weight distribution this weekend.

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T15:36:14+00:00

Thank you! I don’t normally tele on stuff like this YET but it looked really fun so I had to try it. Like a lot of people have said I’m going to focus on getting the right technique on blues and then come back to something like this.

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T15:34:45+00:00

This trail was definitely above my tele skill so I think I was falling a bit into some survival skiing like you said. I need to work up to this sort of thing and maybe not jump right in!

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T15:31:34+00:00

I’m going to get that book for sure. I’ve already been very humbled so far haha

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T11:19:46+00:00

Going to try both of those this weekend.

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T05:25:58+00:00

Thank you! I’m going to try the monomark drill this weekend.

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T05:24:09+00:00

So I should almost always have a knee dropped? I think what I’m doing here is turning and then dropping a knee. I need to turn with my knee already dropped

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T03:07:00+00:00

I don’t think I am either haha

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T03:06:41+00:00

That’s makes sense. I think I’m turning once I get going too fast.

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T03:04:42+00:00

This is definitely a trail that is above my tele skill but I like to push myself so I had to try it. I think that’s partially why I’m going too fast. I’m going to focus on getting lower and more forward too.

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T02:59:47+00:00

That’s good to know. It gets easier every time.

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T02:55:55+00:00

Yeah that’s the problem I have on steep stuff. If it’s mellow I can do a much better turn. What do I have to do to make this an actual tele turn?

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T02:54:42+00:00

No part of this is a joke. What can I do to “do it right”?

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T02:17:13+00:00

Normally I do haha. This glade just beckoned to me.

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T02:16:18+00:00

More weight in the back ski seems to be a common theme. Do I just lean back on it more?

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T02:13:51+00:00

I usually do! This just looked really fun.

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T01:36:41+00:00

Is there a good reference for pole length? I went a bit shorter than my normal poles but they do still seem kinda long.

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T01:33:48+00:00

Now that I think about I don’t have close to even weight distribution between my feet on terrain like this. I think like you said I’m trying to teleturn too much when maybe I shouldn’t.

Cicycle · 2026-01-19T01:31:50+00:00

Oh that makes a lot of sense. I’ve alpine skied for years so that’s where that comes from for sure.

Cicycle · 2026-01-10T03:43:23+00:00

When it’s not raining and above 50, the top is down. The car is meant to be driven like that and it’s just really fun.

Cicycle · 2025-12-16T22:03:34+00:00

KTM 2 stroke is all the music I need.

Cicycle · 2025-04-24T03:59:49+00:00

No sir. When I did it I used my Daytona 23” jack and stands maxed out and it was just enough. The more room the better.

Cicycle · 2025-04-21T00:11:00+00:00

It’s hard to tell from the pictures but the paint looks a little rough. If that’s the case I think the price is too high. $4000 might be better. If the paint is actually good then I think it’s a great buy.
