@NinaC547, make sure you have good orthotics and boots are canted properly. If not, skis might want to go the wrong directions. Also poorly tuned skis can mess with you. These guys in the carving vids generally use slalom skis and perfect snow for their demos, so don't feel bad if you can't do that as easily with some bigger radius sidecut skis.
Why don't north American ski teachers just keep it simple? Using all these techincal terms! Higher edge angle??? Wtf! I teach in europe and use simple terms, because otherwise the client is going to hate you.
sillyness, i don't know what is so hard to understand about higher edge angle. it's a pretty simple term edges are on an angle, and now they're on a higher angle...so shat uppp
His tip is to press the knees inside with your hands to force the skis to tip up onto a higher edge angle for a good short radius turn, then do it on the other side
Yes, he is saying to push your hands against the knees to help carve the turn, then push your hands against the other side of the knees to turn the other way.
Yes, both forces are combined up to a point. Gravity force only feels slightly different when carving turn starts going uphill. Feeling is strange then, like doing a loop in airplane, as turning speed drops. I like to combine old skidding style with carving ecause there can be no advantage in completing a carving turn if there is not enough space, or if edges can not grip on ice.
I agree with "typical mistake" comment. Also it is not so much G-force, skier should experience centrifugal force in proper carving turn, so I was told, and with correct training it can be done.
Did you ever think about the fact that G-force and centrifugal forces on a person who ski,s are actually the same forces. Think of the results of not feeling both of them while taking a flaming turn. What would happen in both cases ?
"G-force and centrifugal forces [...] are actually the same forces". I dare say you are a mistaking them.
G-force is the gravitational force, directed to the center of the earth.
Centrifugal force is the one directed to the exterior of a curve, on a horizontal axis. It is the reason for which the roads are not straight in turns, but a bit inclined to the center of the curve to help the drivers feel the inconveniences of this force.
G-force is not gravitational force. An object accelerating in freefall feels no g-force. G-force is a unit of measurement for non gravitational forces.
great tip, lol this is why they make Rocker!

never quite works for me... skis get either caught in snow and/or seperate. any tips?

Hi, I'm not fluent in english. Could someone explain in more simple termes to the two tips he's given? Thanks.

Very good Vid! Great visualisation of the tip. Can you do one about skiing the deep stuff?

Another tip: Keep the skiis in contact with the ground while going down hill.

Nice Vid, good informtion.
Have fun, by by.

mal wieder Typische fehler im Racecarv bereich...
Das ist meiner meinung anch Typisches gerutsche auf Carving Ski.
Das Ziel Sollte sein, die Schwünge richtig auszufahren um auch die Vollen Fliehkräfte zu spüren.
Das wovon er im Video spricht hat man mit dieser Fahrweise nur begrenzt...
Dennoch einige Gute tips enthalten
