Beginner Snow Skiing Lessons : Wedge Turns: Skiing Tips

[ericyan123]

He talks so slowly and he keeps adding periods in random places

[rosecamden]

@ericyan123 he is reading a script

[ninjaturtleforlife]

Wedge skiing sucks. I tried it once and I almost died.

[noofa88]

How do you do this in Summer when there is no snow?

[Madro2222]

he is looking down at his script...

hahahahahahahahaaha

[Leedski007]

I thought this was an excellent video because of it's simplicity and clear demos.  I have added it to my blog "Teach My Wife to Ski.com". Thanks. Leedski

[victorafjp]

@Leedski007 im doing the same, i suck teaching anything so im triying to memorize this simply demos to help my wife skiing, i know how to ski and im good at it, but i suck talking about the technical postures.

[slc310369]

@Leedski007 good choice, if you want your wife to forever suck at skiing, this is the guy to listen to.. get her a real lesson so she can learn to enjoy the sport. don't ruin it for her and how ever many people read your blog.

Nicely done presentation: part of a series of progression for skiing. Very good basic guidelines!! Thanks to HIllscrest Sports in Gresham.

i didnt understand the meaning of uphill n downhill first of all (we cant climb the hill on skies??-uphill) n then the meaning of up/downhill turn... u gotta show us that, i got the perpendicular turn with the hill beacuse u showed it.

[vandoloskil]

If you have to read a script you aren't an expert.

[bholst78]

@vandoloskil that's just like saying if your teacher has to right down the lesson plan they aren't a teacher

[chudzielecc]

he try to help!u twats

[musicadeloslocos]

expertvillage is so sad....all of it...

[MultiRandom6]

im going skiiing on thursday and im gonna fail cuz i have no idea how to do any of this haha this should be good

[PlavookaTZ]

hahaha me TOO! I'm going tonight and I've never skied before...Should be fun!

[MultiRandom6]

@PlavookaTZ haha believe me it will be frusturating lol. you will fall a lot at 1st but you'll get the hang of it. it sounds negative, but at least thats how it was for me haha

[lancer717]

@MultiRandom6 first time skiing i was with my girlfriend. i did fine at first but i started picking p speed and i started to panic and i ate snow! lol i was so fustrated i walked the rest of the slope lol. im going back to get the haang of it

[MultiRandom6]

@lancer717 haha ya thats what i did when i picked up speed lol. it is frusturating especially when your skiis come off and u have to attempt getting them back on. but at ;east next time ill have the hang of it

[PotatoGunsRule]

@lancer717 Dude, it's OK. My last skydive I broke my leg but I'll be back......just take a ski lesson....take as many as you need to learn. That's how it is....I should know since I am a ski instructor. Take a lesson from a real instructor though, not a friend.

[timeofknight]

he seems so depressed when explaining....

[Libsaresickpeople]

@timeofknight He's not depressed - he's reading.....lol That's why he keeps looking down.

[euphoria156]

@Libsaresickpeople he's not reading, he thinks and says, everybody is different. n i like he's slow, i'm a beginner(havent done ever) n so scared like to learn/listner slowly

[kickyadick]

@timeofknight too much rain in that area, something to do with that...

[apricotsnms516]

is he trying to talk clearly for the camera? or can he just not think very fast?

[euphoria156]

@apricotsnms516 -well, everybody is different, its better to listen to somebody whotalks too fast n we dont understand than to listen to a slow person

[Kalaya101]

ugh...how did he do the turn? i dont even know if he did anything with his legs to turn

[Cnorgaard86]

Is this a joke?

[Cnorgaard86]

Is this a joke?

[brucesterman]

Err, shouldn't you be telling people to...

1. Open the back of the uphill ski to form a wedge. 2. Avoid leaning back. 3. Face the direction you intend to go.

They never get it if you just use weight transfer. As your video shows.....the skis have to be opened and closed!

[anan0]

I wish i've watched this instructions before my first tryial yesterday, it would help me so much.

my frieds took me too teach skiing, but i think they made a mistake taking me on the road where i faced some sharp slopes, it scared me so much i started crying, and nearly lost a desire to learn, though I know that many people have learned skiing exactly on this road, but I hope that some people like me need starting on more easier roads, maybe i should've started with a trainner first :(

[tranx4868]

@anan0 same thing to me...

[anan0]

I had a 2nd tryial this weekends, again without an instructior, but this time the situation has totally changed :)

I lost the fear and learned to skii, and I even did much better than people who have been learning with an instructor and have skied many times before :))

so, i hope, the same thing's gonna happen to you next time,

and main thing is not to be scared, just dare to ski and u'll see the resault, wish u luck! :)

[tranx4868]

@anan0 i was skiing this weekend and things really changed this time :) it was really easy and i finally defeated the mountain :) and I skied better without an instructor than guys that had instructors :)  now im addicted to skiing!!!!! :)

[anan0]

tranx4868

great!!!! I'm glad for u too :) wish you all the best :) and many many skiing

[europeansnowsport]

inside ski and outside ski is an easier term to use

[FbGmGD]

Like i Said stay in the park.

[therythmflows]

whats with the helmet and goggles? too fast?

[1234aggro1234]

what has happened to my life

[NegativeX83]

Good snow, powdery unlike the stuff I had to ski on this past weekend. All ice.

[monkeylover1226]

omg me too-i was up at roundtop-their black diamons are all ice...nothing else

[PotatoGunsRule]

Try Winterplace sometime if you like ice. LOL

[ronschneider]

Good explenation

[camouflet]

Excellent demo of several classic errors!

1. Staring at ski tips

2. Hands low

3. Centre of mass behind boots

[spitgalore]

Looks to me like magic. I did not see any difference to your legs, apart that you seemed to have caused the turning by moving your upper body to cause a reaction to changing direction.

I've put into Favourites to watch it again, thanks for sharing.

[koekiee]

nice video, thanks!

[chrisfoto]

Great stuff
