SHORT TURNS | Objectives High Performance 

Thank you 🙏 I’m glad they’ve been useful

Thank you 🙏

Thanks Jason! Hope you’re going well

@@JB91710 You're the lone thumbs down on this video, right?

@@JB91710 the full video answers those questions so head to projectedproductions.com/allaccessvideopass and check out Legacy pt1 to learn all about it.

@@paullorenz6389 don’t feed the troll, Paul. This guy is nuts.

@@dj_617 thanks, I try not to engage but unfortunately I have to delete some of it because it is quite rude. Anyway thanks for the comment.

Thanks Zetti. Thanks for you kind comment

Thanks James 🙏

Thanks mate

Thanks Carl, I’m happy you’re finding the videos useful :)

Thanks Davin. Hope you get some good skiing this season.

@@JB91710 as the video describes, these are jus objectives and the video does not describe how to do anything. Visit projectingproductions.com/allaccessvideopass and watch Legacy pt1 to learn how to make these movements in clear and simple terms.

Thank you

Thank you 🙏

@@paullorenz6389 your style of short turns screams " i come from moguls" to me. more than trying to replicate slalom turns like many do which i find less aesthetic and versatile... Amarite?

That’s great! Glad you enjoyed it. We have a new video coming out shortly on the projected subscription.

Hey don’t make too much sacrifice, it’s free! Great stuff.

Thanks for your comment and I’m glad the video was useful. All the best for the season ahead

Excellent... release and flip to new edges and pullback

Interesting. I'll consider from moguls coaches but I think you're correct. Every specialty is specific

Hi Tirzah, I love Bernd Greber's skiing. I'm not sure which turns you are referring to specifically though?

Power & force create speed.

Speed doesn't necessarily equal good skiing or turns. Going straight and in the back seat can equal speed but poor skiing.

@@jamesdunn9714 Good skiing allows you to ski in higher speeds with control, this requires power to resist the increased forces.

The question is begged and begged endlessly by non-performance skiers. They see a picture of spray off the inside ski and estimate its value to be 30-50% compared to the outside ski. For skiing with carving in a dynamic way the rule is ski outside foot to outside foot. That does not change. There are pictures of profession freeskiers (all mountain skiers) and WC skiers in gates with seemingly similar snow spray off their inside and outside skis. In reality they have massive force on the outside ski and minimal on the inside ski (~90% to ~5%) That minimal is still enough to warrent a big spray. Note their inside leg knee cap is often close to a skiers chin in very dynamic turns. There is no way the bones and muscles in that position could put high pressure on a ski like 40-50% in a very dynamic turn. The only time you ski with pressure on both skis that is around 30-70% on one side and the rest on the other is when the skier is skiing slowly. If you have a pole with the rise line and fall line and consider the apex at 90 degrees to the rise and fall lines at the pole then max pressure on the outside foot and 100%. Many WC skiers lift the inside ski to insure max outside ski pressure. It's about the only way to get 100%. Just toughing the inside to the snow insures 100% will not happen on the outside ski. How much actually goes on the inside ski? Who cares other than as little as possible. Whatever you can get on the outside is best. The issue is that is not always possible given a lot of factors. Just say we will imagine a slalom pole is being turned around. The factors will be line of transition into the start of the turn at the rise line above the pole, speed, does the apex rise or fall away from the pole so terrain an issue, surface conditions as in is max edge angle necessary, what is the line to the next gate, the angle to the next gate i.e need for a very tight turn or relaxed turn to the next turn & etc. Many factors will determine how weight gets distributed to the outside and inside skis. On some turns the inside could be 30% if required or could be close to zero, 5% or !5%. Not telling as that will vary for each turn in the course. If you are making a series of fast turns on a mild black, steep blue or mild black groomed slope the you can pick you next turn. For this type of skiing you can ski very close to having most of the distribution go to the outside ski if not 100%. Most likely 5%-10%. The reality for me is I don't care. If I'm well balanced the inside leg will end up with the amount of weight for the turn. It will work out on it's own. The touch of the inside ski to the snow gives your body great feedback and very important. A turn is too dynamic to think through as it is happening. Your body will be in react mode so impossible to say you will do 30% on this one & etc. For skiing slow it's a different ball game with way more on the inside ski. I should add the assumption here is the skiing is all carving and on the fast side, dynamic carving.

The look is misleading. The inside ski spray on dynamic turns at speed is not indicative of pressure compared to the spray of the outside ski. It's the wrong approach to evaluating where pressure goes. The better approach is understanding what is required for high performance dynamic turns Lorenz and Reilly do. Understanding what pressures have to be where and what body positions allow that to happen. Closely distributed pressures between the inside and outside skis does not happen in WC or performance skiing. Physics will not allow any exceptions. The only time performance skiers ski on the inside ski is when they ski slow, make a mistake or terrain forces them to on the inside ski to compensate (usually momentarily).

Not making a case about anything here and also not necessarily to you versus possible readers that will trip across these posts. I deleted the @ to you on my other posts and do the same this time. So this is just a clarity post. You are right in the sense of there are lots of ways to ski and some of them more two footed. It’s hard to clarify something in skiing. If a skier is skiing with the outside foot way out and the inside at least at the edge of the body on the outside ski side then the pressure on the inside ski will be 0 or very little especially with slalom style turns. Its usefulness will be feedback versus a component of balance. For very dynamic skiing with a more squared away shoulders and hips to the direction of the skis something like very dynamic GS turns the inside will get slightly more than in slalom but minor and conditions dependent. I should add that all I have said is only related to the turn parts of skiing versus the transition part. For you the resolve will not come from me or Lorenz. The only resolve for you will be making a few runs doing various style turns at various speeds with all pressure going to the outside foot. Lift the inside ski throughout several turns and feel the difference. Then ski the same styles with inside foot pressure. It you are skiing with good form and balanced you should not be able to get the performance with inside ski weight versus outside ski weighting unless your skiing railroad tracks or going slow.

@@inquistive That's me in March 18, 2018, 225 days of skiing in since then.

@@inquistive My skiing is completely different currently than in the videos. You can discount my comments as you wish. You will find them to be correct as your understanding of skiing grows. If you skied well you should know what Lorenz weight distribution is. I don’t have to ask as I ski well enough to qualify the issue on the snow. There are many levels of instructors. You are obviously not high up the scale or you would not be asking about Lorenz’s weight distribution. Given the date of your ask you lack that knowledge currently. As your skiing improves you will come to understand that the inside weight question is meaningless. It will find its own level and that will be very small. The inside ski in dynamic carved skiing only comes into play from mistakes in form or terrain and you are forced to ski on the inside ski. You can practice for that by skiing turns with the inside ski only, outside ski lifted or skiing with one ski doing left and right turns.

Get a job at a ski resort and work in both hemispheres.

@@mieshavonedellestein1304 how much are you paying me

@@mieshavonedellestein1304 yeah sounds good but how exactly am i supposed to like pay my rents, bills and my food lol

Watch Paul's carving videos, his feet are apart much like any World Cup racer.
