    Amaizing! I really liked your video: preparation, and the warm-up looks like elements of a warm-up in ice hockey and especially liked the carving technique at the start, especially when you use one ski - it looks like very harmonious and technical.
    I will try to do something similar.Thanks!

    Ricardo, I see myself like I ski the same way like you on this video. From my experience it’s easy to ski like that. But I have a problem. I cannot fully control the speed. I mean, every time I ski like you on this video, but on a steep hill the speed increases and I ride like a pro on a super giant heading down really fast on the edges of the ski, which is fun and ok, but I cannot make short turns, only long! Could you give me an advice how to correct it, please

    • @RicardoBrancal
      @RicardoBrancal  Před rokem

      @abc5456 Před rokem +1

      @@RicardoBrancal ok, thank you that’s fair enough. Tell me one more think and correct me if I’m wrong. Is it possible to find skis that would allow me to ride fast and at the same time, or in a moment later, when the way has changed, do short turns? Sometimes I think that it’s not possible to find a balance between these two different types of rides. Something I think that I just need to either have two different types of skis or to make a decision of what way I would like to ski on.
