This is the video that started all the changes for me and eventually opened the door to Big Picture Skiing. Thank you Tom!
Thanks Tom for such an excellent well explained video. I learnt so much about correct posture, the best video I have seen on this point and I have watched heaps! Can't wait to put this into place on the slopes. Nice relaxed skiing.
Tom great tips, my wife works in PT so I can relate. Sad part is having a ruptured tendon on outside of ankle surgery tomorrow. You really get one pumped up on skiing
Nice tip, Tom. Look forward to trying that out. Worked a great deal on upper/lower separation last season so interested to see how this adds in those 3 feelings you discuss at 7:15.
There is a benefit to using “static” gravity to help in both achieving and maintaining the flexed position that is ideal for carving. We can use this static gravity for inclination, angulation and flexion. This is a form of stacking the CoM and BoS in the sagittal plane. We always want to use the forces that are given to us whether it be static gravity, momentum, ground force or rotation from the ski, we want everything working for us, not the other way around.
Just tested this on snow and a substantially different and better feeling...feel stronger and better balanced. However, I definitely have some hip hinge problems on my right side inhibiting my skiing. But it got a lot better after 3 days of skiing, but still need to work on creating more mobility. :-)
Incredible ❤
What is the name of music??
Tom, great videos, thanks! Love your skiing, Luc is awesome as well. Wicked goggles by the way, what model are these? Marker, right?
Just subscribed to your channel Where do you do your teaching. You make a lot of sense
Tom, do you have a video of the dry land training to focus on the proper flex point you discussed near the end?
Great video and enjoying the tips. At 8.54/8.55 sec can you explain why the right foot ski tip seems to lift then the heel is pulled back. It looks like then the tip is able to be redirected downward with feet now more under your body? In my personal skiing i have noticed that when i try to pull my feet back under me, my foot initially does this then i can point the tip down on what is the new uphill ski. I hope that makes sense?
Buen trabajo chavalon
The music credit, please.
Now I know why my ski shoot forward on steep mogels. If the the hip flexion is right do the knees do what they should?
teaching is perfect but music is too noisy, I have to control volume too much anyway thanks
What about people like me who’ve had both hips replaced? My range of motion is limited.
good.
is this sun peaks ?
Instead of concentrating on the hips a real successful idea is to move the thighs forward and down to the ski-tips. Same result, but easier to implement in the complete movement - especially for skiers who move more up than forward. Why? We have to continue the move forward until the curve vertex. Otherwise we will fall to the backseat and inside again.
Don’t your lower back muscles get tired?
Tip at the hip.
Yep
So it's about the body keeping up with skis. Com catches up with the bos
Makes sense. Thanks for the reply 😀
I have been sking for over 60 years and have approached expert status. Over the years terminology for carving has changed several times. I understand why you now use the term Toppling, but as a former instructor I think the Toppling term is somewhat fearful to a beginning carver. I believe side to side movement with uphill ski and downhill movement is still a less fearful term than Toppling
Interesting idea concerning the point to bend the upper body/hip at this point of the hip. It is just a first feedback of the body right now and has to be proved on the slope. ☹️😉 But indead there are some helpful consequences: there is a lot of tension in the lower back and the knees get bended automatically a little bit. The breast moves forward instead of just the shoulders. This also means that the head remains in an upright position where it can be moved to the outside - which is much harder, if we bend the neck and look to the ground. The whole upper body is tremendously stable. I think, I am relative well trained, but this will be noticed in the evening... 💪😉
Good drills but bad intrusive "music".
naa mate. Aussie HipHop at its finest
The "music" 's awful.
harold zaroff please post my comments
Pull your feet back !!
Why would he pull his feet back when he's already in balance? Pulling his feet back would put him out of balance.
Very nice skiing. But you could have been thinking a little more before explaining. You can bend the hip joints and even bend your vertebrae of the spine forward in a bow and at the same time lean back. That can be done by bending the knees more that sends the COM backwards behind the feet.
But you are right, bending the hips is a much better way of leaning forward than the bending of the vertebrae. Why?
Because when you bend the vertebrae you put the abdominal muscles in a difficult situation, and they will become unable to tense. And you need those tensed in order to stabilize the upper body.
You should learn more about gravitational force, normal force, pressures., steering of the skies. and so on before trying to explain too much.
