@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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Then on the other side?

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

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