@@dereckhasken9055 I just asked that question out of curiosity. However, if the sort of skis has nothing to do with turning, why do different ski sorts even exist - especially if they're destined for the same environment (i.e.: groomers)?
Javelin turns are utterly ridiculous. Lifting the old downhill ski to start the turn is correct but no uphill ski is required. 1:25 100% incorrect. 1:57 This demonstration is correct but there is no teaching on how to do it. In skiing, you can't mimic what you see. You have to know. Saying the upper body has to be neutral and strong doesn't teach how to accomplish that. There is no teaching in the racecourse. Why not try those Javelin Turns in the course. That should work well!
WOw. Just Wow. Saw your video. You're a pretty lousy skier. And that ON TOP of being an A-hole in your comment. The kid is an awesome competitive skier, and he is sharing the exercices which got him there. Also, coincidentally, those are the exercices used by the best racers around. You want to question them and make a fool of yourself? Be my guest. "That should work well!"
Javelin turns are a great exercise. Well demonstrated. The skiers also knows how to make a high performance slalom turn. Now you show us. Oh no, you can’t. I forgot. You are busy with your hands on handlebars and your ass on barstools l.
Javelin turns is a exercise for becoming stronger in the outside ski and therefore get a shoot out of the turn. If you slow down the video you can see at the entrance of the turn in the course is a javelin turn and all good skiers do that so you get pressure on the outside ski. I hope that answers you comment and next time we will explain better
@@skilife9768 I've been teaching for 55 years and know how other ski instructors operate. They create gimmicks and drills to deflect a student's attention away from their inability to teach skiing in a simple to understand way. The Only thing a javelin turn will do is position your upper body to face and lean down the hill in between the turns but totally destroys the next turn because the student will tend to step to the side and twist the ski to force it to point in the new direction. Like you were doing at the beginning of your turns. All you have to tell them to do is lift the tail of the uphill ski to make sure they are balancing on their downhill foot. When they want to make a new turn all they have to do is face and lean down the hill, with the pole plant, and get off their downhill foot and balance on their uphill foot. Gravity, their momentum and the ski design will do the rest.
@@JB91710 how many FIS points do you have? You have not been coaching professionally alpine skiing if you don’t think javelin is useful. Maybe new skiers get more out of pole plants but javelin is the most fundamental exercise in professional skiing
Javelin turns is the one exercise you see top and worldcup skiers perform all the time. For good reasons.
Nice skiing 🔥💯💯
outstanding
Great little video on a precise subject. What skis do you have though? Competition grade FIS skis? Commercial grade FIS skis? Or a general SL ski?
I use Nordica World Cup ski
The sort skis have nothing to do with turning, it is your technique that counts!

Great video! What do you mean by "push the hip forward" Which hip, outside or inside? at what part of the turn? and to achieve what? Thanks a lot...
You wanna push the outside hip at the start of the turn to get more contact of the outside ski
@@skilife9768 Excellent, I agree 100%! Cheers from Argentina!
lateral insaide hip back flexingdown down to recenter to flat skis not upper body first. hips first rotatet
Great vid, only need to correct the sound volume: music is way too loud, talking is way too quiet. Keep it up!
Ha ha, you cut the video off just before you missed the next gate!
hælælæl
Wrong.
