I believe I'm doing exactly that until I see myself on video...🥺🥺.. it's very important to have someone film your skiing just to compare to real skiing.
After years on skis, some bear league competition and trying to get rid of bad habbits...I would say that angulation and inside leg management are two most important factors when it comes to expert skiing. Perfect video, thanks!
In watching your demonstration another way to describe what’s happening. The inside leg flexing at the knee so that the inside leg get shorter and the outside leg bearing the weight gets longer. The inside knee drives forward as this happens. Something I observed watching Deb Armstrong.
The biggest thing is to keep it simple… the down hill leg can not get longer as that pushes the BOS away from the COM. The outside leg, when it is time, will accept the load.
You make it look so easy 😅 . Question, I habitually tend to move my hip in towards my outside ski which causes me to lean on my inside ski which obviously is not good. I was thinking to counter and fix that habit should I try as a kind of drill to move my hip the other way towards my inside ski?
Here's a funny comment from me. If you are trying to "move your hips" you are skiing wrong. A wise skiers stands in a wooden hallway and walks down hill by stepping over the edge. 😊
Pretty good video, but you are still making it more complex than it needs to be. RAISE THE INSIDE HIP. That is all. Watch Mikaela. It is so simple. Keep hips square to direction of the carve and tilt the pelvic bone by hiking the inside hip. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DG_Dg7_NIt0.html At the elite level....WC skiers are tilting the pelvic bone AS MUCH AS THEY CAN. MAXIMUM. That is why racers just "look" different than non-racers. Tilting the pelvic bone enables the highly inclined yet tall position (nearly straight outside leg, body inline with the force axis). This is mandatory to handle the loads that come from high edge angles on ONE SKI. This skier is barely scratching the surface of hip leveling / pelvic bone tilt. MORE.
