Skiing,carving lecciones by Bode Miller

[blaneyw]

Why is he double pole planting?? Youre making the next gen of donkeys act like an ass

[kuse123123]

type in "ski crashes" in the youtube search and click the video with stars in the title to be shocked!

[silentscratch]

yes. you are responsible for my injury.

[jaspermatty]

A-framing is the old school downhill ski, super exaggerated knee angulation that skiers were taught pre-shaped skis. Maybe that's what it took to carve a turn with those thin, straight skis (although i still slid my tails). After I quit racing, i heard more about hip angulation and being square on you skis with shoulders/hip etc) . In the 2000's it moved on to all this stuff (which i find utterly fascinationg) At 40 ish I am re-learning carving a turn.

[marky81mark]

@jaspermatty yep, lots of people are learning that being aligned and standing in a stronger position on your skis allows for more power and performance earlier in the arc. Sometimes the cause of an a-frame is how you bend, sometimes due to rotation just to put a few causes out there. But get it right, and one consequence is eliminating that light section where you get airborne as Bode puts it. "Face the Force" was a phrase that helped me figure out alignment for a variety of turn sizes and speed

[Ragz125]

cont.

ski recomendations for my size would be greatly appreciated

[joyfulvulture]

@Ragz125

what a fucking pathetic excuse to tell everyone you're big. get a life.

[Ragz125]

going to Telluride for Spring Break, really excited. I'm more of a downhill speed skier, but now that I've looked at some stuff, I think I realize now that I'm shedding too much with just going straight down. Like straight down for a quarter of the hill, then shedding a little bit here and there, then straight again and just tucking and gaining a lot of speed. So with this carving, is it just a lean towards the inside of the turn? Plz reply in a message. I'm 15, 6', muscley 225lbs....

[MrApples6]

Not sure what A framing is, but he's initiating the turn with his inside ski, moving his inside knee forward before loading both skis. Pretty standard advanced carving. (canyonsman1 has it right - it's standard to double plant or not use the poles at all.) The point of the lesson is that pole plant starts, not finishes, the turn to keep you forward down the hill, which is a great teaching point.

[bpressnall]

Bodie must not have taken ski lessons when he was young. Maybe that's why he totally blows all of you away.

[skierpage]

Watch and enjoy Bode, but this isn't a lesson. His double pole plant, shuffle, and A-frame are extraneous to carved turns. In some of the turns he's loading up the tails with some big-ass hip movements over the outside, which is what keeps strong men stuck as intermediates. Rather than anticipate the next turn he's changing edges in the air. It all works for him but I think without even realizing it he's doing a ton of twisting and pressing within his boots that mere mortals can't see.

[macacoperegil007]

Rossi 9s ti... that its what he's on this video...

weird but hes showing some Aframing, and 1-2 movement with his feet. never expect to see that from such a great racer! makes me wonder

[ApaXtue]

A-framing is not a bad thing....! It is not logical to have two skies with different loads and different corner radius to have the same angle of attack to the snow. If you want a simulair edge force distrubutions it is even logical to decrease the angle of attack of the inside ski. So, A-framing is actually a good thing to make optimal use of both edges...!

[skidgud80]

NO NO NO!!! Do not get it wrong as I write this... He is one of the BEST skiers I have ever seen... ALL respect. BUT, he has no fucking idea how to treat people who want to learn. IF you want to learn hook up to a ski school... Seriosly, do NOT follow this advice unless you are in the world cup. If you are not in the world cup, then join a ski school close to you.

[canyonsman1]

You miss the point. He carves and arcs his turns (racers carve turns). Ski schools teach the sliding stuff, which is OK too. If skiers learned how to load their skis like Bode mentions, they wouldn't have to worry about unweighting or their transitions into another turn. They could also ski on ice and ski faster under more control. Anyone can slide to control speed or ski in moguls, but how many skiers on the hill can really carve (what skiing is all about)? Everyone can learn from this.

[phil656565]

agreed... this shows how to load the skis and really get full use out of them... helped me alot when i was getting into carving

[Drosophilamelanogas]

The double pole plant. You can't beat that!!

[canyonsman1]

In GS you either double pole plant or don't pole plant. In SL racers keep both hands forward for obvious reasons. Bode's double pole plant is a force of habit. I taught my kids how to pole plant using a double pole plant. They got it right away. I don't know why ski schools don't start using racing techniques.

[skibumcohen]

yo the skis are just the strigh up world cup 9s skis from a few years back, like pekur009 said. def not VAS Oversized.

[radiisly]

ii love bode!

[bjornaudun]

Does anyone know which ski Bode is using in this wid.

[pekur009]

Looks like a Rossignol World Cup Race Stock Slalom Ski from two or three years back because now Rossi's racing linup is orange colored. I know that they are Rossis for sure.

Hope that helps.

[bjornaudun]

thanks!

[radiisly]

rossignol

[vbodyz]

This is several years old when he was with Rossignol

[ritchiecaron]

It looks like he's on Rossignol VS Oversize TI. But its hard to tell from the grainy video.

[goodweedindeed]

Thanks for the video. I like how they emphasize the pole plant as the beginning of the turn process. This is very helpful and has really boosted my skiing rythym. Look forward to more of these videos.

[chewinggum2001]

tbh if you are an advanced skiier looking to go to expert you should know when to plant your pole. If you race then you don't plant your pole anyway

[muerteman2915]

Wrong! in slalom and sometimes in Gient slalom its crucial to be quick enough...it gets u over the ski to the next turn...of course you should never oll plant in superg and especially downhill

[fresh1337]

pole planting is for a hobby skier just a lot of fun because the pressure feeling is awesome.

[skatingtrombone]

pole planting is one of the most important aspects of skiing it, keeps you balanced.

[kostayetti]

pole planting is absolutly useless !!

[kwstis88]

well check out every world cup racer and see if their planting their poles in every turn...pole planting gives rhythm and when you are more used to it it can help you with the timing and the better execution of initiating a turn.
