Hi @sueh5241. Thanks ror your question. I have two suggestions for you to try as alternatives. 1. You can try going down and support yourself on your forearms instead of the hands only. What I mean is having your whole forearm flat on the ground and then still be in a plank position with the rest of your body. The same position I do in the plank in our beginner SkiFit video #1. 2. Another alternative could be to shift between touching your toes with your ankles, knees and hips bend and the over head clap. I hope this helps. Keep training regularly and you will see results. /Janus

Thank you, Martin! I really appreciate your comment. Have a nice day! /Janus

Thanks for your question, @shaunrabbidge1777. I haven't tried it on jet boats, but I have passed on the question to Cardo and I will return with an answer for what would work the best here. /Janus

I now have an answer from Cardo: "We haven’t tested them with jet boats so I can’t give a definite answer. However, I would think that they’d be suitable, since our products handle motorcycle engine noise on the regular. Regarding the risk of getting Packtalk repeatedly soaked in water: We need to distinguish between salt water and fresh water. Salt water: No guarantees it will work. Fresh water: The Packtalk itself can get soaked and will work just fine. The mic and speakers are splash proof, but if they get soaked repeatedly they could stop working. I have seen people use Packtalks for jet skiing and think it could be a good solution but there are some risks involved. NOTE: Cardo can’t guarantee performance in that sector." I hope this helps. /Janus

Thanks alot i appreciate that you took the time to ask on my behalf

You are welcome, @@shaunrabbidge1777. Have a nice day! /Janus

Happy to help, @vikBF. I have a video called Two keys to parallel skiing that many people have found helpful. I would also say our video How to do the Hockey Stop on skis (WITH BONUS TIP) is worth checking out, when you are working on you parallel skiing skills. There has been a lot of interest in learning parallel skiing so we have actually just returned from a trip to Norway, where we spent the week recording material for a more in depth and structured course on how to get from snow plough skiing to parallel skiing. If everything goes according to plan, we will launch that course for the 24/25 Northern ski season, so stay tuned for that one. I hope this helps. /Janus

You are welcome, @vicky6580. I am happy you like it. /Janus

Perfect, I am happy to help @reneeewing-qq3hc 😂❤ /Janus

I really appreciate your comment @depreciatingasset! Thank you. /Janus

Thank you, Henrik. Yes, it was fun trying to beat my score, and also trying to do something different with the video format and tell the story that rose from the material. Hope to ski with you again soon. /Janus

Det er Munkebjerg ved Vejle, men det er desværre blevet strengt forbudt at køre på ski der da naturstyrelsen fandt ud af det forstyrrede nogle sjældne dyre- og plantearter. Jeg har til gengæld et andet sted, der både er lovligt og lidt mindre crazy/risky. Det er ved en spejderhytte man kan leje. Hvis du kan samle nogle stykker og gerne vil betale lidt, så skriv til mig på contact@inspirationalskiing.com, så kunne jeg godt være frisk på at lave et arrangement hvor jeg tager med. /Janus

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, @user-ht7dt5zm5y. Yes, skiing like this is just some of the endless options skiing provides. I like to do a variety of different styles of skiing and these turns are quite fun I think, and a good challenge to learn for many people. There are also some carry over skills from these types of turns to less "clowney" skiing, if thats what you are after. I hope you have fun with whatever style of skiing you prefer. /Janus

Yes, you pay one amount for the inserts and battery pack and then a seasonal fee for the app and all the features. Please let me know if you have any other questions. /Janus

Thank you, @kirunamax. I am happy you enjoyed the video. It was a lot of fun making and I hope it gives a good presentaion of what its like to ski with Carv. /Janus

Thanks for sharing your opinion, Kirunamax. I actually love skiing indoors, but you have to be creative and challenge yourself in new ways to make it more fun. That is exactly why I made this video. I want to inspire and give people some fun suggestions to something they can try and practice if they are on a slope that is not challenging for them. Have fun skiing and have a nice day! /Janus

@@InspirationalSkiing that is a good idea and i think you can inspire lots of skiers. I personally do not like indoor skiing; the beauty of a blue sky, mountains , real snow, woods , alpine chalets/cabins is priceless. but that is just my humble opinion. nothing to say about your job and video, keep on inspiring skiers😉👍

I totally get that, @@kirunamax. I also prefer the outdoors for all the reasons you mention. This is a ski hall 3 hours drive from our home, we sometimes visit outside of skiing season, when it has been too long since we had skis on 😄 And I always find it enjoyable to find new ways to get something interesting and challenging from this green slope. To be honest, I could spend many days there before getting bored, even though I get even more excited for skiing on a real mountain. I hope you will enjoy the rest of the skiing season if you are on the Northern hemisphere. If you are on the southern hemisphere, I wish you a great skiing season in a few months.

Have fun 😊

Thanks 😊

Thank you, @user-if2mj4hn8l. I really appreciate your comment. Carv offer such a fun and motivating game to see if you can push your Ski:IQ to new heights, but also a great tool to develop your skiing. /Janus

140. toppling my body into next turn

Nice score, @@scarface548. And thanks for your comment. Toppling is for sure very important and something I also work on improving. It can be a somewhat difficult concept to get your head around, but it is definitely something worth experimenting with. Looking into the turn can help as well as the feeling of falling into the new turn while the skis continue towards the side of the slope while pure carving. /Janus

Thank you @MrThaibox123! I really appreciate this. /Janus

I am happy you love the video, @sandraredmond4812. And thanks for letting me know, it is very encouraging. /Janus

@@InspirationalSkiing i am really interested in becoming a better skier and becoming stronger for skiing and for life. Your videos are really helpful and fun and sunny and bright. I like that. Thank you :)

This is so good to hear,@@sandraredmond4812. Keep at it, I am sure you will feel the difference in both skiing and life. For me skiing is the best recipe for life improvement and physical preparation carries so much value in itself but it also enhances the skiing experience. So much to win in this formula. If you have any suggestions for future videos, please let me know and I will add it to the request list. /Janus

@@InspirationalSkiing i have been floundering on my skis for 20 years. I am 61 and my kids all ski raced. After years of frustration and thanks to you tube I have decided to learn how to ski better. I invested in new boots. And new skis. And went to a womens skill development camp. But I encourage anyone who reads this to invest the time in the dryland training and really think about technique. Some can just throw themselves down the hill. Not me. I will never be a super confident skier but with better strength and better understanding of how to manage the hill I have already achieved a lot. I am really interested in continuing to learn. It is very interesting. I share your videos with my son in law who is new to skiing. I am also intrigued by the Carv technology. Very cool. I find the you tube videos to be inspirational and a great reinforcement and prep work to do before and after on snow lessons. Keep up the great work. And thank you. Skiing is a gift. Thanks for sharing.

@@InspirationalSkiing do you have any specific agility and plyometrics and balance videos?

You are welcome, @garywoods8989. I am happy you enjoy the video. /Janus

Thank you very much for you support, @garywoods8989. Your support means a lot and is very appreciated. /Janus

Sorry to hear about your ankle, @emmhu0620. Hopefully you will recover quickly and you can use my tips the next time you are on skis. Have a nice day! /Janus

Thanks for sharing your experience, @FJDH11. You are absolutely right, you need line of sight as I explain in the video. Ideally they should be able to stay connected when loosing sight, but as of know that is not the case as you point out. To supplement your comment I would mention that as soon as your regain line of sight the units reconnect. What I do if I loose contact with someone I need to contact and I know we won't soon reconnect, I make a phone call. This is still more nice with the phone already connected to the speakers and mic, in my opinion. Compared to walkie talkies as an alternative that might be able to communicate around corners in the terrain, you get really good sound quality with Packtalk Outdoor. So I guess it is about finding the solution that suits your preference. I hope this helps. /Janus

Thanks for your question, Highlighted comment, @gangatk. Yes, it does connect with older models, Packtalk Black included. Basically it connects with all models that have DMC (Dynamic Mesh Communication). I hope this helps. /Janus

Thanks for you comment @GuagoFruit. I know this seem like a fun idea, but I have seen too many accidents with people trying to spray their friends and the loosing control and ending up hitting their friends knee height with the skis first. A fun idea then quickly turns into a very bad day for everybody. What happens is that when the friends stopped, they pushed away some surface snow exposing the harder snow underneath. When the spraying friend try to spray they get surprised that the snow is harder than expected above their friends and they loose control. I therefore always strongly recommend skiers to stop below other people. I hope this helps. /Janus

@@InspirationalSkiing yes it does. I fell victim to a failed stop by my friend this weekend and now my thumb is now in a splint. Nothing serious, just a "god damn it" sort of thing

That doesn't sound good@@GuagoFruit. I wish you a speedy recovery. Thanks for sharing this. I think it makes it even easier for people to understand the seriousness of the message to read your story. This is so easily avoided, so let's hope these comments help someone to avoid similar accidents. /Janus

I am happy you like the workout, @user-vm1jx2wf7o. This is a great idea! We actually implemented this in our recent workout videos, and it will certainly be there in future workout videos as well. Have a nice day! /Janus

Tak, Per :-)

Thanks for your question, @ferinkx. The brand is Pictureorganicclothing and the pants and jacket model I am wearing is called Object. They have different colours each year, but the style is similar. /Janus

Thats awesome, @kunalpatelfilms. Thank you. And good to hear that the clarity is good compared to Milo. Yes, you can use the adapter cable to switch to a different head set with its own microphone. The head set needs to be connected with a mini jack cable. I am not sure how a different headset affects the noise cancellation, though. If the noise cancellation system is affected, a "deadcat" over the microphone will help. Feel free to share your experience with this here in the comments if you try it. I am sure it will be helpful for people considering buying their own Packtalk Outdoor. I hope this helps. /Janus

@@InspirationalSkiing great thanks! Will do. It would also be cool if the device can use your phone as a mic/speaker. For example, since this isn’t really made for road cycling, I could clip the pactalk somewhere and then have my iPhone mounted on the handrail and communicate through speaker. Not sure if that has been done. Just trying to get more use out of it than just snowboarding! Or even during two car road trips!

@@kunalpatelfilms That could be a nice feature, but unfortunately that is not currently possible. I have passed that along to Cardo as an idea for product development. /Janus

Thanks for your question, @Anya_so_sweet. It will for sure make it easier to succeed if you have practiced some parallel skiing or exercises towards parallel skiing first, but sometimes I actually use The Hockey Stop as a way to learn the parallel ski position. It all depends on the individual skier what is the ideal path forward and makes the most sense. I hope this helps. /Janus

@@InspirationalSkiing I tried this yesterday as I am still doing wedge. It works but my feet won’t be together at the end. They are wide apart but at least it somewhat stop. I will keet trying. Thank you

❤

Thanks for your input, @Puzzoozoo. I am a big fan of brisk walking. Studies have shown a wealth of health benefits from this. This program is designed to be more skiing specific. I encourage you to try it and make your own comparison to brisk walking. Have a nice day! /Janus

Thank you, @Ray-qr7wt. I am happy to help. /Janus
