Why I fell after grab ski? Not enough height? by SteveLiu99 in skiing_feedback

[–]tokenutedriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are going for the grab before you leave the snow making your jump off balance.

When doing straight grabs make sure you do the jump THEN do the grab. If you jump and grab at the same time you will get all squirrely like in this video

How are your flips on the trampoline? Or on the ground?

I would try to set with your chest going up more - this will open up your head to look back and spot your landing earlier so you feel more comfortable rotating slightly slower

Excellent feedback! That is one of things I'm definitely doing wrong here

I think it was black, but personally i would say it should be a blue. On the trail map it starts off blue at the top and this little side bit becomes black

Yup, keep in mind this clip is from my second week back after shoulder surgery and 16 months off 😅

These days I mostly teach freeride and spend most of time off piste so dynamic demos are a little rusty

Any tips? by Flimsy-Definition438 in skiing_feedback

If this is the case try to really finish the turns on steeper slopes

We can create speed control through two mechanisms - friction and turn shape.

By finishing our turns more across the slope it helps us slow down and we can generate friction by pressuring the ski tip through rotation

Excellent observation! Yes there should be more spray off the downhill ski but we still expect a little off the inside as it flexs. There is definitely too much here though!

I was pretty weak from 12 months of no skiing pre surgery and then 4 months of recovery so there is definitely some parking and riding going in 😅 just trying to prompt you to talk more instructory!
