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

@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

yes. you are responsible for my injury.

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.

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....

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.

Bodie must not have taken ski lessons when he was young. Maybe that's why he totally blows all of you away.
type in "ski crashes" in the youtube search and click the video with stars in the title to be shocked!
