CARVING | Transition 

Pretty darn close- the planet is pretty big Zoran. Woohoo!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Jane, I’m really happy that you enjoyed this video. I hope you enjoy the season!

@@paullorenz6389 Thanks Paul :). Question - the rolling is from the ankles?

Thanks Patrick

Thank you, hope to see you next year

Thanks David

Thanks John

Thank you for your comment. Very happy that the videos are useful :)

Thank you

Thanks Rafael

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it

Me too

Thanks 🙏 I hope we get to ride together one day

All good , unless you are not skiing for fun.

@@joesatfly Ski for boredom much?

@@klubstompers The point is , the stored energy of the rebound ,will make the transition for you and you 'll get a lot of fun out of that , for sure. But if you are looking for something (like a good time on a gs run ), then you might not wait for the forces to make the transition for you , if you do that ,you are , likely, turning too much , wich by definition means climbing the hill instead that going to the fall line asap. This is not meant to be polemic

Thanks 🙏

Thanks DK! Hope you’re going well buddy

Thanks Guy

Thanks Anthony, hope you’re going well mate

Hi Zoran! Great to hear from you. I'm so sad I'm not skiing with you on the Glacier this week! As soon as COVID settles, we will be scheduling new camps and you'll be the first to know! All the best Zoran and enjoy the winter!!

@@paullorenz6389 Dear Paul, your decision was logical. As you've noticed, everything is closed. Lock down is in big wave in Austria. I am in quarantine because of being positive on the covid test right now. No symptoms but just enough that I would not be able to participate your famous camp which has been planed for this week. But (big but)... Guess what... :D I will be immune for the rest of the season... :D:D:D:D Not bad, ah? So, see you in Japan in January... ;)

@@zoranstary7229 I’m so sorry to hear that and wish you a speedy recovery my friend. Hopefully you’ll be skiing again in no time!

@@paullorenz6389 Will do... two weeks ago I was on Engelberg. Great pow, pow and blue bird day. The mother nature was very generous this year already in October. Damn good... :)

Thanks Brian, I really appreciate the comment. Yes agreed, the one point of view that is often given creates much debate. This particular topic seems to split most organisations at Interski and most coaches around the world. Objective is often overlooked or assumed (even in racing). Hope you’re going well mate and all the best for the season ahead.

So true. Flexing/Extending/Retraction/Crossing-Under vs Extending/Crossing-Over is one of the, if not the, most heavily unagreed-upon topic in skiing (in my experience). I love how you and Reilly are always honest about skiing: we're not skiing between gates or will be punished by time. In free skiing it comes all down to the outcome you want to create and personal preferences. This might seem obvious, but a lot of people in the industry will not make it appear like this. In the end both of you guys ski in such a fashion that it's inspiring for many. Dynamic, fast, yet with a clean style. Unfortunately it's quite rare to find instructors that can and are allowed to teach the movements involved in it. You and Reilly have been able to become popular to the extend where, even without the need of any organizations, you are able to make a good living out of it. That has put you in the position to be much more flexible in what to teach (and what not). If it where for anyone to have been disruptive in this industry I'd be for you both. I have a lot of respect for that!

@@mitchel3392 Thanks Mitchel. Appreciate the comment.

Thanks very much. Carving is great fun 🤩

Thank you

Thanks Steve

I've been thinking about this. I think first and foremost is, when I do an extension turn, I'm not used to seeking a performance turn. I've associated flex to release to performance skiing. So when I do the latter, my core is really strong. My focus on fall line is sharp; any variation, I rotate my pelvis to adjust. Whereas with a extension turn, I'm usually skiing 'lazily' (relatively speaking). Core is not strong. Focus on fall line is not as fine tuned. I'll have to try increasing the performance of my extension turns. Strong core and focus. The focus part though, I think might be more challenging with an extension turn. Lower to the ground, I feel I have really good perspective of the fall line, especially if there are trees along the side of a trail. From higher up? Just have to get out there and see.

Thanks Tobin, hope all is well mate

@@paullorenz6389 Will be great as soon as we get to start sliding again!

Yes I make mistakes all the time like everyone. I don’t fall very of though 🤞

"Bravo", means Great Paul !

Thanks 🙏

No not at all. Also it’s important to mention that I’m not aiming to be forward (or backward). My goal is to remain centred against any force that’s pushing against you. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you. I hope you are well in China

@@paullorenz6389 Thank you Hope you and your family are well

Thank you 🙏

This video showed up again on my recommended list. I love how you say that there is no objective "right" way to transition but rather a preferred way for your intended purpose.

Hi Karl, In this video I’m using the 165cm WC racetiger SL.

Hi, glad you like the videos. For me it’s 100% outside during the turn. You should check out www.projectedproductions.com there is hours of instructional videos with me and others sharing their tips and tricks. Thanks again and I hope you enjoy the rest of the season 😃

@@paullorenz6389 One more quick question, I've noticed, I have been using my inside leg as a training wheel, while trying to carve, and not rolling it up the hill, how do I fix this? Thanks!

Hi, Yes I understand your question but it's a difficult question to answer on RU-vid. The same question can be asked about how to tip a bike over when cornering. Repetition and experience is really the parts of the puzzle that are needed to understand the speed needed to move in further. I suggest using sharp, shorter radius skis on firmer snow. Often one becomes fearful at the speed needed so I suggest doing single J turns so that you are comfortable in knowing that you will come to a stop. Make sure you're travelling straight down the fall line until you build up enough speed to experiment with different edge angles. How fast you move in to increase edge is also important and needs to be relative to the speed you're travelling. If you move in the right amount for the turn, but you move in too quickly before the pressure builds then you will fall inside. As mentioned in the video, millions of turns to build sensitivity and understanding of force is what's required (unfortunately). When COVID settles down, I suggest attending a Projected Camp with us. These camps focus on high performance skiing and carving and specifically work on this type of technique. If you send me your email address (info@paullorenzclinics.com), I'll add you to our mailing list which we use to advise the launch of new camps. Thanks again.

@@paullorenz6389 Thank you. I will send you an email.

It was captured on an Epic RED camera with a 70-200mm Canon L series lens.

Hi Noah, yes that’s right in 165cm

@@paullorenz6389 Thanks so much for the quick reply. I prefer race skis for freeskiing (the Volkl Racetiger SL in particular for training) as I am still involved in racing, but I find that race skis can be a challenge for deep carving on choppy, or ungroomed conditions. Most non-racing skiers in the U.S. are on fat, all-mountain twin tips even though 95% of those skiers don't actually carve. Would appreciate your feedback on that. Cheers,

@@thelion6614 I agree, for high performance skiing race skis are the best. Wider skis make skiing easier for recreational skiers which is why they are the ski of choice for a lot of skiers. I spend most of my time on GS or SL skis for all skiing. If it snows more than knee deep then I look to wider skis.

@@paullorenz6389 Because many races have been cancelled this season, I have been working more on this type of skiing. It's awesome and very fun. Thanks for the inspirational videos!

Toppling is a more easily understood description and the most common descriptive word.
