Video no.11 - Chapter 4 - The Barriers to Good Skiing - Learn to ski.dk

[murderjunkie2006]

Great videos. I watched them all. I learned a lot.

[PoppoBikes]

To leafsfann9917, It is all about balance on the ski. Take a lesson from an instructor you like and who concentrates on teaching proper balance. Just like learning to ride a bike, once you have the balance all the other techniques follow. It is just not possible to learn in the reverse. You will find you progress much faster and have much more fun if you will give this a try....Good Luck

thank you LasseLyck

The music is a bit outdated but somehow the best background music I have ever heard.

[101deadrising]

hey visit my channel and go to the link provided and get free mc points for xboxlive thanks and this really works

[Beautybasics]

The music in all these videos is really 80s soft-pornish. Not that I watch stuff like that!

[glossspot]

this music freaks me out. but otherwise it's a great series of ski videos!

[bbooddmmonn]

how do you do a hockey stop

[Meriadoc1234]

Point your skis downhill, then do a sharp turn edging your skis into the slope until the skis point upward slightly. You should come to a complete stop.

[leafsfan9917]

@bbooddmmonn just turn to the side, dig your edge in and push with your legs

[sparkmagea99]

@leafsfan9917 Yeah I'm beginning to ski and I have been having the same issues. I am getting the turns but I can't seem to stop! I have tried this but I just end up either turning without slowing down very much or catching an edge and eating shit lol. Am I not leaning into the slope enough? Or could it be an issue with the spacing of my skis?

[craigrbrewer]

4:21 True True True. I have bad form for I am a new skier at the age of 29. I am in reasonable shape but I get exhaust so fast due to my form. My goal this year to have better form and Learn Powder skiing

[cajetan10]

Does anyone know any place i can get a very large (67-68cm) ski/snow helmet?

[AmatuerGolfer]

I find it helps leaning forward, especially, off piste, I find it helps me balance better, I've never been told to lean forward as much as it shows on here.

[mandassux]

TIMEWASTE. useless lessons.

[FToniS]

It all looks so easy...

[onojmai]

THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!  SO PSYCHED!

[jurgenz73]

You should not lean that forward, but you must put pressure on the front of the boot (and the skis), so that you can steer. The rest is keeping your balance while the front of the boots is under pressure.

[Director1374]

I love the music

[pacoruizserrano]

nasty music but great videos

[kjo14]

you should accualy lean that much forward!!? scarry!

[jackychan98]

Yes, don't agree with leaning forward. Should we stay center on the skis?

[05thobet]

depends on the type of snow your skiing on say for instance deep snow you need to keep your balance more to the back or centre but skiing regulary on a prepared sloped your shins should definatly be touching the front on the boot

it makes it much easier

[dentei]

it also depends on what kind of skiis you are using.. in this video they use the older straight skiis where the bindings are attached further to the back of the skii. as a result you would then have to lean forward a bit to keep the balance to the center of the ski, unlike the newer skiis where the bindings are more or less on the centerr of the skii, and you therefore don't need to lean forward to keep the balance centered.

[slashdemigod]

the newer skis ARE good, but they don't do the work for you; you still have to lean forward. unless in deep powder, leaning forward is critical...

[rich33080]

The music makes me want to ski off a cliff

[Playncooler]

That was the most useful vid from them all

[ibronsh]

Don't mind the "haters". Thanks for your work.

[qm9616]

ok ok

[chassse13]

I am a ski instructor and thought it would be fun to see how they ski/teach. Worst tip ever, "pretend you are a bouncing ball, and mover your body up and down." That is horrible for skiing, you want to take all upper body movement out. PSIA would frown on that tip, maybe even scowl.

[leavemealone2006]

well, I don't think they wanted everyone to follow that tip. It sounded to me more like that tip was specifically for people who always stay totally upright. Sometimes exaggerating helps a little in order to initially learn something or break a bad habit. I can't wait to ski again and apply some of this stuff.

[charligo]

lol i'm not a ski instructor but i'm semi pro in moguls and the tips over there were VERY amusing.

[jakedaboxer]

i may be worng but if ur new to sking u want to bonce to help keep u steady and when u get better u keep body still. but ive only been sking 2 years so yh

[iamspecialtoo]

Oh, "krunchie63" is a french instructor? Haha, figures.

[iamspecialtoo]

This is a good and wellpresented series for anyone learning to ski, period. Some years ago french instructors tried to ban danish instructors from their resorts, but that was only because they felt threatened by the talented and friendly danes. That may be the cause of some of the more "serious looking" bad comments from "professionals".

[johnkeys51]

I am starting to shoot some kayaking videos and I'm trying to learn how to achieve unique camera angles. From about 2:33 to 2:55 the camera shot following the skier appears to be from a much higher angle than any others, higher even than a very tall person could achieve. I would like to know how that segment was shot. Was the camera being held overhead on an extension pole or from much higher up on the slope through a zoom? Thanks again.

[plasmaarmelund]

Awful music!

[mooresam280]

Im off to Switzerland in a week and these video's have really helped me recap on some useful skiing tips. Cheers.

[petsaul]

great vid! we are going go jay peak and i look forward to using these training skills your vidoes have taught me.

[zajacik282]

I am very glad I saw all the mistakes I do and I knew about but didnt see what it looks like..The whole video was like...haha..that´s me:)Now I just really have to try to do it the way skiing is supposed to be and not to be stubborn and do it my way

[pricelje]

these videos realy helped me to switch from old skis to carving. Thanks LasseLyck!

[sarahbywater]

krunchie63 be more specific in your criticism it may help us to be better skiers. or better yet produce your own video! seriously these ARE the best ski vids on youtube so if you can do better please show us.

[jminter3]

These videos have helped me better than any thing else so far. As a fairly new skier I found my faults by watching these videos and have since corrected them. Great videos. Thank you.

[Agatkaaa87]

for me great !

[krunchie63]

The biggest barrier I have seen recently to skiing are these videos. I spend all season trying to repair the misunderstandings my pupils arrive with from instruction just like this. Sorry - it's hopeless.

[MuddyPhuddy]

I wish I knew more what it is that you mean.

I watch this video, and I believe I understand very quickly why it is that what I do results in the "bad skier" traits shown here. This helps me by telling me how to recognize when I am exhibiting those traits, and what to do to fix them....this seems like good advice.

I have a goal of hiking and throwing down on the back wall at Breck this year, so I hope I'm making the right improvements - can't afford a guide!

[goodweedindeed]

Boy I can't wait to hit the mountains. I got the skiing fever after watching these and other videos.

[Opstipation]

Great videos!

Can't wait to hit the slopes next year!!!
