Hi Jens, just wanted to mention that yesterday I tried your tips on making nice 360 (fully extending arms sideways and bringing them in for good rotation) and managed to do my first __10__ 360 in a row! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Something I don’t think you mentioned but is also a good point. Learning to do these maneuvers also improves your control of skis and also your confidence. If you get in a hairy situation it allows for more flexibility and comfort getting out of them if you have more “tricks” in your arsenal. And also stops moments of panic if you willingly put yourself in “uncomfortable” maneuvers for when they happen unexpectedly. I personally have always liked just going down groomers on one ski. People used to ask why and I didn’t really have a good answer. Then one day I caught an edge going quite fast and was thrown off balance onto one ski and was still able to maintain control and slow down. Always good to build control in any way you can think of because you never know where you might end up.
I couldn't agree more. I was passing through some shaded moguls in June with caution, when I caught an edge and got spun. Without thinking I just went with it and slammed the brakes with a nice Uphill Carve, and found myself stopped on boot edges on the lip of a good sized tree well. I do believe this newly attained skill saved my ass from that tree well! I've found doing slope spins helps when you get spun out in moguls or pow, and have been working on increasing my 1-ski speed, and totally agree with the more tricks in the bag the better. Stomp It Bro!
shiftie is my goal for this season! :) Need to work on being more comfortable with speed. Seems like I really don't like not being able to stop, any ideas?
@@StompItTutorials thanks for the reply! I have no problem ripping it on piste, but something about being in chopped snow / bumps off piste makes me pull the speed brake! I think I'm terrfied of tearing my ACL - I have 4 friends who've torn theirs
@@tommylynch7887 Thanks! Went on a "be comfortable in the air" mission yesterday. Filmed myself dropping a number of baby cliffs and went over a ton of step-up jumps. I realize that when I think I'm going huge, I'm barely getting any air!
Yes, this is exactly what I needed. I really enjoy carving on the race skis, and I'd like to think I'm pretty good at it. But often I find myself in company of people who wish to go to smaller slopes or slower speeds, and it might get boring. I don't want to spend a whole day on blunt-edged park skis either. These are perfect for learning something exciting to challenge myself and keep things interesting while on any slope on the stiff skis is perfect. Thank you Jens!
У самого redster S9 slalom. Думал они не подходят для начала во фристайле. Хотел уже покупать твинтипы. Спасибо, что показали, что это можно делать на спортивных слаломных лыжах!
Me personally if I feel like having a in woods or “fun” day on the slopes I will just leave my poles behind. I think it’s just a hassle on the jumps and weaving through trees to have another thing to look out for and I have my hand just in case
Hey Jens, Absolutely love your videos. You are a most charming and effective instructor. I havent skied i over 30 years but your vids have given me the itch to get back to it. Love your use of technology, your enthusiasm and humor and your love of skiing comes through. Your cameraman is fantastic! Here’s one problem though. You should sign on and off all your videos with your name and cameramans name. You probably don’t because of modesty but you reallyshould. Thanks for all the great work you’ve done. Be well
Nice Video Jens, as always. :) I personally would love to see an in depth video on 540s & 720s, just bigger spins in general. I've made good progress thanks to your videos, now my goal is to stomp a big 720 with a grab this season. Your step-by-step approach and drills always help making the correct technique a habit and getting confident and consistent. Thanks for putting this information out for free!
I have skied only 4 times in my whole life since 2011. Im pretty sure im gonna land with my skies crossed while performing shifty up the hill and crash. Gonna update you guys in a month how it ended.
This is 1 of the first videos I watched by you all. Shifty and butters aren't necessarily easy bro ha! I've watched this many times and still can't get enough. Doing the Air edge shift in the flats is fun but tiring, but it's very gratifying too. Off the rollers, well SWEET!. It actually helps watching this after some time has passed. I didn't even know what a shifty was 3 months ago. I've seen it live now, and it's sweet, especially when someone pops a quick 1 in the flats at the bottom of the run. So I'm appreciating much more now that shifty into the the edge shift. Really sick move. Mabey next season. You the man Jens!
Omg, trick 4 and 5 are my favorite game to play in moguls!!! Slide uphill, pause, jump backwards. Only possible with this stall trick. What happens when u do this ;)....
Loved the video and I am excited to try them out!! I am also wondering where u r from, first I was thinking Australia 🇦🇺 but then Switzerland 🇨🇭 and now France. So, tell me where are you from??
Haha, love edge changing in the air. Am getting on a fair bit now, and still hit the park and the big jumps, but don't spin much if ever anymore. But going 16M kicker and hard carve in large travel and shifty to landing on the other edges and carving out never loses it's appeal 🙂
I want to start with doing more tricks while skiing. Could you guys recommend particular skies to buy, or should these things be possible with all skies
I think I'm decent at carving and just going down the hill in general but I have a hard time with jumps. It always seems like if I hit the jump with enough speed for some air that I will land very poorly. This jumps usually aren't very well made but I have seen other people hit them just fine. Do you have any tips for landing better?
He’s got another video about this exact thing, from what I gathered when you pop up on the jump is important because it sets you up for a good landing. Popping at the top of the jump and not too early. I haven’t tried it yet as I am only on my second season learning how to ski but I plan to soon!
Make sure you're centered throughout because if you're off-balance at any point, it's gonna affect your landing. Approach the jump with your knees bent, shins with a little pressure on the front of your boots, and your arms in front and bent at about a 90 degree angle (almost like if you were about to get a pass in basketball). Pop up a little when you hit the lip, but don't let that shift your weight from the center, and don't let your arms fall back because believe it or not that will affect your balance, then try to hold that position in the air. As you land, bend your knees as much as you have to to absorb the impact, again, all while keeping your arms forward and your weight centered. That's the instructor answer from me, so hope it helps.
Just a word of warning about that flat ski down the hill drift. Make sure you don't do it in chopped up snow or you can catch an edge and have a hard fall!
Exhilarating to watch YOU do these tricks Jens. Two questions please: ett/ Where are you filming this? två/ What make/model boot are you wearing. Tack för dessa fantastiska videos.
1 Laax, Switzerland mostly under the La Siala gondola. 2 Atomic Hawx Ultra 130. Carefull 130 may be too stiff for you! It comes in a more wide version too if 98mm is to narrow for you. Det var så lite.
Hiya. Maybe you could give some advice... I'd say I'm novice skier as in past years I just had total of maybe 3 hours of lessons (since scratch/complete novice) on silly 300-500m 'slopes' in my region. Just before covid in 2020 managed and we had 1st ski trip to Austria - which was great, but I really ran first looooong boring blue slope, then one above harder but still blue. Finished trip with first major red highway - straight down, not really hard. This year just came back from my secondary trip - this time Italy. Had great start, was running ALL sloped, blue and black, slow and cautious of course but no problems and LOT OF FUN. Took there 1h lesson and seems minor mistakes, just need to exercise and add miles on my account. Question about equipment - as you're linking beautiful skis. If I'm still considering myself as beginner/intermediate, only running prepared slopes - worth to think about my own skis? Allround or something like what you linked? Or just don't bother yet and get equipment from rental, as I did so far? I'm definitely not planning any time trials or anything competitive, just for pleasure of riding.
Ugh. Do not tail drag... he's imitating something he doesn't understand. Start by bouncing forward downhill and bending the edge in front if your feet, then bouncing up using the recoil. Keep practicing that until u get the feel. Now ski backwards, see where i am going with this?
Someone knows any brand which makes ski pants with a loose fit? I bought an Armada jacket one size up and know I look akward, like a kiwi (wide body, slim legs) so I'm trying to compensate it with the pants
Hi there Jens. Just found your videos. Great stuff, great tips. I’ll try your fun tricks in Japan in Jan 2024👍. Keep up the good work with you videos. Thanks again mate👍👍
Youre quite funny, thanks for the vid. I can slide very well in between the carves and like to jump a lot, (just forward) but never picked up the shifty move. This will help thanks!
Nice vid! However, trick 2 looks very much like a single "twist"/"twister" when legs are straight and a "mule kick" when legs are bent. But, hey - who would remember those old 80's tricks? Or maybe a tip for next tutorial ;-)
- Stretch your legs while twisting...This is so exciting if you do it right. - Well otherwise your edges catch the ground during air time and the trick will be called face plant.
This is the 3rd year in a row that I'm watching your videos. I would love to skii with u someday. Is there a camp organized or something? *I am finally 18 so I can travel on my own now hehe
Belles figures, assez classiques dans les années 90. Une question, pourquoi mettre le ski droit à gauche et inversement ? Ces spatules asymétriques sont là pour éviter d’enfourcher les portes en slalom.
instructions unclear, I'm in the hospital now

Congrats to the cameraman. This was lovely shot!!!
Also nice editing and great day to be out skiing!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
shiftie is my goal for this season! :) Need to work on being more comfortable with speed. Seems like I really don't like not being able to stop, any ideas?
Practise stopping. Do lots of hockey stops and flat slopes to as steep as you can find.
also don’t rush the shiftie, make sure you’re stable in the air before turning your skis. And of course don’t forget to bring them back before landing

Modern park skis can carve nicely

Style = 11/10. Amazing video, tricks, presentation!
These tricks are so fun when skiing, thank you for the tricks.
you speaking for the 2% of the skiers, to be able to achieve those tricks you need to be hella comfortable skieing in the first place
Of course. I feel like this channel is really for intermediate skiiers who want to get to the next level.
Me personally if I feel like having a in woods or “fun” day on the slopes I will just leave my poles behind. I think it’s just a hassle on the jumps and weaving through trees to have another thing to look out for and I have my hand just in case
skiing is like flowing in a matrix
Haha
I screwed up my knee doing XC and now I cant ski :(

Thank you very much sir that is much appriciated. My name is Jens Nyström and Carlos Ortola is behind the camera :) instagram.com/ortovideopics/
I am wondering, what are those "pointy" things on the front of the skis for?
Nice Video Jens, as always. :) I personally would love to see an in depth video on 540s & 720s, just bigger spins in general.

Noted! Maybe there are just so few skiers who wants that level of tutorials even if Id like to make it :)
I can't believe i never thought of doing this. Looks like so much fun!
when I heard trick ett: wait what he's swedish! Wow me too!!!
Love the fact that you have fully commited to race skis, I found them so underrated.
Just some times. Great fun :)
Not sure what I love more, the spicy tricks or the spicy accent!
Du borde köra en hel video på svenska!
Shwommmm
I have skied only 4 times in my whole life since 2011. Im pretty sure im gonna land with my skies crossed while performing shifty up the hill and crash. Gonna update you guys in a month how it ended.
What about using your poles ? Bad form ! How about a double ? Full twist ! YA and a good mule kick ! WFO....
Your content is so quality. Super helpful and entertaining. Thank you.
"Its going to lead to instant death... perhaps"😂
Dont do it Calin. Dont do it, there are people who loves you! 🤗
Prova att åka snowboard i en video
Just visited Laax, pists are amazing with hundreds of rollers. Felt like a bunny
Haha best feeling.
what skiing resort is this?
First step to making all these tricks look awesome: wear bright orange clothing that matches the bases on your skis
Haha
It will be a l-ooooo-ng time before I can do it, but it is fun to watch!
Im sure you can do the upphill drift next time you go ski :)
This is 1 of the first videos I watched by you all. Shifty and butters aren't necessarily easy bro ha! I've watched this many times and still can't get enough.

For the first trick, I've done that before and twisted my leg, so if YOU are doing it, TAKE CAUTION!
Where are u skiing?
Omg, trick 4 and 5 are my favorite game to play in moguls!!! Slide uphill, pause, jump backwards. Only possible with this stall trick.
What happens when u do this ;)....
Requesting a video on easy tricks that you can learn in local park, in the flat or short and shallow slope!
Great idea!
1:48 was quite close :P
Indeed too close.
Loved the video and I am excited to try them out!! I am also wondering where u r from, first I was thinking Australia 🇦🇺 but then Switzerland 🇨🇭 and now France. So, tell me where are you from??
Why you don't buy freestyl ski because you're very great
I do that too.
Haha, love edge changing in the air. Am getting on a fair bit now, and still hit the park and the big jumps, but don't spin much if ever anymore. But going 16M kicker and hard carve in large travel and shifty to landing on the other edges and carving out never loses it's appeal 🙂
I was just wondering, since I don’t have my own skis but I love trying things like this, what type of skis I should be renting? Or what to look for..
Curious what audio setup you have for filming these videos? It's always top notch! Love the videos and the channel. Keep up the awesome content!
Jag har lärt mig att hoppa, göra manual, göra en 180 och typ göra en 360 på mark. Vad bör jag öva på nu?
I want to start with doing more tricks while skiing. Could you guys recommend particular skies to buy, or should these things be possible with all skies
Love seeing you shred on the race skis!!
I love being on them even if im holding on for dear life as im by no means a FIS racer
thank you Jens. such a lovely day for recording and skiing
Glad you enjoyed it!

I am going to laax to if possible in 2 weeks but we still don’t know if we can with this virus going around.

Can you demonstrate how a Backscratcher is done? that's what we used to call it back when i was a kid in the early 80s
U from sweden bro? Trick två😂 ja jag är från Sverige
Just a word of warning about that flat ski down the hill drift. Make sure you don't do it in chopped up snow or you can catch an edge and have a hard fall!
Yep. Done that.
Yep, almost did it that day
Do you need lighter skis for this? I have pretty heavy carving ones I feel like would be too heavy.
They may slow down your rotational speed and therefore limit the range of the shifty but you will still be able to do it.
ok
Hi Jens, im in the hospital now, love your vids though! :D
It looks so easy when you show it…..i would break my legs every time
Easy tricks to have more fun some of which can lead to instant death? I am all in!
8:03
Without ski shoes this would be a death sentence for your ankles
what mammut jacket is that bro? Stoney HS Jacket ?
Step 1: bring a snowboard instead of skies :)
Where is the place in this video? Those trails look like a highway
Where can I find your helmet and your mask
Exhilarating to watch YOU do these tricks Jens.

två/ What make/model boot are you wearing.

Ugh. Do not tail drag... he's imitating something he doesn't understand.
Start by bouncing forward downhill and bending the edge in front if your feet, then bouncing up using the recoil.
Keep practicing that until u get the feel.
Now ski backwards, see where i am going with this?
His skis are wrong for the trick. Probably why he doesn't get it.
Wow I'm wordless!

Both

What Ski are you using?
What skis do you have?
I think my 7 year old Salomon Q90's are too heavy for this? 😬
- Stretch your legs while twisting...This is so exciting if you do it right.
- Well otherwise your edges catch the ground during air time and the trick will be called face plant.
Why you skiing on the "normal" skis?
Cause they turn sharp which looks cool for this video. I love to ski on them every now and then.
Hej befinner du dig is Sverige med alla dessa videon?? I så fall vilken skidort??? Greetings from Greece ! !
This is the 3rd year in a row that I'm watching your videos. I would love to skii with u someday. Is there a camp organized or something? *I am finally 18 so I can travel on my own now hehe
Do you recommend carving skis for this tutorial? What width underfoot 80 - 85mm? Love the vids, thx 🤘

5 Easy Tricks To Brake Your Ankles
I´ll consider it
Hey! Which type of ski and length are suitable for tricks. What are you using?
What kind of terrain do you recommend practicing shifties on first? Jumps? Rollers?
Rollers or small jumps, but not to small so you have enough time to go back to normal.
Small park jumps
bro I ski on the east coast this is a bit much
Hey Jens, where do you ski?
Just snowboard instead??
This guys passion for skiing really shows in the videos!! love it
Hello How many times you injured on ski before you learn so much on them ? what kind of ski you recomended for that fun ?
is it easier with normal skiis or fat
Or you can just watch a snowboarder and learn everything you need to know to have a little more fun.
I want to hear more Swedish!
Great video! This tutorial helped me a lot! The ambulance is on the way...
