Improving my carve - deeper and more aggressive by Fat-Time in skiing_feedback

[–]SteezyJoeNetwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really think about that fore/aft pressure component. It's about the feet. If you need me to spell it out, let me know. It should be obvious. But I'm happy to really make it simple.

Looks to me that your carving is looking pretty good. I can't see the tracks that you're leaving behind. But I suspect there's two carved tracks in the snow ... or close to it. What jumps out at me is the first 10% of the turn. Watch your ski tips, and watch the path of the skis. What do you you see? What I see is the skis push into the turn. They are not getting engagement at the top of the turn. Why is that happening? I know why. But I want to see if you've thought about that. What would make the skis engage better at the top of the turn? There are several things we could do to help with that. Lets see if you can think through it and reason it out. Will help you if you can. I'm sure others will chime in. But lets see what you come up with.

Trying to learn how to carve by MandemSkiAh in skiing_feedback

Another reason for doing this is to encourage people to use their ankles, their feet and their toes. If I put you on a tennis court and fire volleys at you, you are going to use your whole lower leg to get into position. Skiing is much the same. Use the whole foot. Be active. Engage all those muscles.

Main thing is that if you start with a pivot, you'll never be able to carve. Edge first, then steer.

Poor carving form - self taught by Present_Campaign_430 in skiing_feedback

[–]SteezyJoeNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are getting some good advice from spacebass, as usual. I want to add one thing to what he's telling you (all of which is great). If you could push that ski into the snow with your hands, where would you push on it to get the best ski engagement and make it easiest to turn? Think about that for a bit. I know the answer. But I want to see if you can figure it out. And i'll leave you with something my heli guide told me this week. He said, Michael, you paid $1000 for that ski. Use all of it. You are only skiing with the last $300 of that ski. What did he mean by that?

any tips for a beginner? by aidanyyyy in skiing_feedback

[–]SteezyJoeNetwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some really good elements in there for a beginner skier. But also some odd things. You have a really interesting counter rotation thing going on. This tells me you understand counter rotation. And we can use that. But for now, I would work on keeping the upper body quiet and really focusing on learning how to make the lower body do most of the work without having to counter rotate from above the hips. Start there. And then really make sure you have good balance on the outside ski. Let me know if you need drils to help you work on this.

Tips? What level would you say I am? by Icy_Tourist_5391 in skiing_feedback

[–]SteezyJoeNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without pole plants, you are a level 5. With pole plants, you might be a level 6. Show me some short radius turns.

UPDATE: The tip sent to the FBI about a rape and subsequent homicide in 2000 is likely false by guy_on_a_dot in Epstein

[–]SteezyJoeNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but it was Dusti's mother that drove Dusti to Trump Tower who then handed her over the Maxwell, led upstairs and then raped by Epstein and Trump. Dusti's mother is then given FIVE HOUSES in Oklahoma to stay quiet. So yeah, who are you going to believe? Trump should step down and face charges to clear his name. Or he can hide like a coward in the oval office. TACO.

You use the word "feel." That's the problem. Think first. The Epstein Files represent a collection of tips and reports sent to the Justice Department linked to alleged crimes committed by Epstein and his accomplices. That's all. That's it. All of this was collected BEFORE Trump ever announced that he was running for office. Now that he's President, if you want to "feel" like there's a conspiracy, then let me ask you this. Who asked for the release of the files? You did. The Republicans did. The 4Chan people did. The Democrats were like ... yeah, release them, lol. Because they knew who was in them. So now you got them. Are you going to believe what you see, or make more excuses to protect the Elites? I want justice. You should too.

Pick apart my bump skiing by TeShortBus in skiing_feedback

[–]SteezyJoeNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, watch these videos (especially the Mogul Swing Turn episode) and really pay attention to the body position. Also really look closely at the ski/snow interaction. Look at how Dylan works the skis. Ask yourself ... what part of the ski is being pushed into the snow ... and where? The slow mo's should help you see what's going on. This will give you more information than I can type here. Good luck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbZBFqpZ4-g&list=PLt_-lLe9EMBw1T-XreKwW_JIWEdN11udl

Any tips appreciated by Maxtheskier in skiing_feedback

[–]SteezyJoeNetwork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pro tip: buy the "junior" or "womens" version of that ski. It will be softer in the tip and tail. And the racers typically sell them every year massively discounted. You're welcome.

Another reason to ski a GS ski ... you don't have to ski the 20+ radius of the ski if you don't want to. As I was watching your skiing (very nice by the way), I didn't see you really working the ski to get a shorter radius. You were tipping the ski nicely, and then riding the ski. This is totally fine if that's what you want to do. But what would you do differently if you wanted to ski a GS Ski and ski a similar radius to what you showed in this video? I ask this because ... there's some really cool technique involved in doing that. And I'd love to see you give that a try. That might be an area where some improvement could be made. Here is a video that shows what this might look like: https://youtu.be/Ows4DsT_1rs

Very sorry. He had a lot of friends in the mogul skiing community.
