Great stuff! I think the one of the main things that prevents people from advancing their skill and technique is ‘vanity` Most people have a fear of looking crap in front of their friends or ski group so stay within their comfort zone. Fear of being laughed at when they fall over. Let’s face it we all want to look good, especially when popping turns under the lifts! People always want to run before they can walk, so skip all the basic building blocks so they can say they can ski parallel. People are embarrassed to be seen doing a snow plough turn, when in fact it is the first sensation (if only slight) of a ski carving you can get when done correctly. So bin the vanity, fall over more and push the envelope and of course subscribe to Stomp It Tutorials. They are the best! Hope you’ve found some sponsors Jens? Thanks
Sure thats another way too look at vanity. I personally try to use vanity for something positive. I look a skiers skiing beautiful like say Ted Ligety and think how can a ski a bit more like that. Then go crash infront of people trying todo so ;)
@@d0ublethink I agree. Probably a bad example but what I am trying to say is people don’t want to strip their skiing back to basics to rebuild it properly. ie skiing with boots unbuckled to improve feel for the skis can make your skiing look sketchy from the onlookers. I suppose I am aiming this more at the intermediate skier who has reached a plateau and isn’t progressing. I know I was one once 😁
I see what you're saying but I use vanity to become a better skier. If I'm going to take risks I want people to see me pushing myself. Ive always said if I fall i want someone to see it. Love hearing the "ohhhh damn" from the lift if I'm shredding or yard saling
15 ski days already how unfair I've only got 8! More than triple any previous November I'll stop complaining! Frustrated I don't feel like I'm improving, yet I'm miles ahead of any previous season at this stage. Took till day 7 to feel like I'm skiing as I'm capable of. Like the Perfect Parallel Turns drill looking forward to trying that Monday. Enjoy the 90 degree Braquage and mixing in Switch Reverts; I had a guy copying me on my tail to my surprise on day 2. Been enjoying practicing the Switch J-Turn just don't ski off the side of the manmade snow! Thanks Jens you're really getting down low on those carves now!
@@StompItTutorials You're welcome it's awesome watching your progression very inspiring. I want to get down lower on the carve so very much looking forward to that. Happy Skiing!
Tips : don’t care what you look like there’s always someone worse, 2, go try something that’s a bit difficult it will be fun, 3, look where you’re going not down at your skis. 4. Relax!!! You can’t bend and flex unless you’re nice and flexy even just fool yourself and pretend you’re super relaxed even if you aren’t. And get those shins pressed against front of boot in a relaxed way.
I really wanna improve this season but dont have the right boot for my skies and also not much money as a student😅 i still try my best even if the equipment isnt perfect, i guess then i know how to enjoy good equipment even more. Thanks for this awesome video
TIPS TO ACHIEVE GREAT EDGE ANGLES: 1. Get the inside knee OUT of the way 2. Inside ski should have little weight on it not no weight, it's very important in the first phase of a turn. Search up a video on the white pass turn. 3. Keep shoulders level, don't aim to drag your hands on the snow. Drills: White pass turn TIP: 1. To increase edge angles thus shortening turn radius; you must work to better incorporate the inside ski into your skiing (For expert skiers) As an national team coach, I often don't see this mentioned enough, to achieve great edge angles, you have to slightly WIDEN YOUR STANCE SO YOUR SKIS ARE FURTHER APART. The widen stance should be kept on the apex of the turn, stance width should increase gradually as you are leaning in. This is what must be done to increase edge angle beyond what your currently able to if you feel like you are at the limit but still unable to achieve the edge angle you want. An important thing to note is that this is for achieving very very deep edge angles, doing this when not at extreme angles can make you get an A frame so be wary that this should only be done when pushing to your absolute max. 1.2. PUSH THE OUTSIDE SKI AS FAR FORWARD AS POSSIBLE. Many people who carve keep their outside ski too far behind the inside ski. This is normal and it will happen but trying to push the outside ski forward while in a turn helps with getting used to putting more pressure into your outside ski and really helps with the power you put into your skis. Moral of the story, your inside knee is an obstacle in your road to becoming a champion. Remember that counter hip rotation is an absolute must so pushing the outside ski forward should be done by leg extension and not the hips. Same with the inside ski. 2. Everyone always focuses on the outside ski, but the inside ski plays an important part in the first (initial) phase of a turn, it can help with speed of transition, balance and power of a turn. When we begin a turn lots of weight should be on the inside ski, the white pass turn drill helps to understand this. You should put low weight, not no weight on your inside ski. Flex the inside ski, you should bend your knee and bring it up towards your chest. You should feel small amounts of snow flying into your outside leg from your inside ski. Make sure you feel the pressure on your small toe on your inside ski when turning. 3. Another tip is NEVER TOUCH THE SNOW WITH YOUR HAND, if you put too much pressure, it can make your body twist, additionally touching snow with your hand, while making you feel like your achieving higher angles can also indicate that you are actually leaning your shoulders together with your legs. You should always try to keep your shoulders parallel when going into a turn. When I do lessons many people I teach feel as if their technique has improved when touching the snow but in reality this habit makes you lean your upper body into the turn which in reality what you should be trying to do is keeping your upper body as far as possible towards the outside ski. Of course extremely high edge angles will make you be able to do this but this shouldn't be a focus. Counter hip rotation is absolutely essential. 3.1 Instead of dragging your hand on the snow; it's ok to keep it almost on the snow but don't put any weight on it. Something you can do to have a good understanding of your body positioning while your skiing and help with control and balance is to put weight onto your poles, barely any pros have their poles dangling behind them and that's because they are pushing their poles into the snow. 4. Don't stand up; you don't have the time to, you will lose so much power. In the middle of your transition you should be flexed. The hand drag skill Stomp It has taught in other videos is absolutely great to improve confidence to increase edge angles but once you feel you are at your limit of edge angles these tips should help achieve better skiing. A great drill is the white pass turn to improve how you incorporate your inside ski into your skiing. Heres a video to improve upper body stability; ua-cam.com/video/S0lIB2M5tmQ/v-deo.html.
@0:05 reason 1: picking Atomics over Head ski's :P also the perfect turn shape isnt round, its more of a comma ( ,) in like a circle, out more bow like.
Thank you. Say the last turn at 18:08? Looking at carv leader board, most of 150+ run are around 10 meter. If I try to make the radius smaller, it becomes skidding and not carving. 😢
The slow playback is so mething Ibuse in skydive coaching. The slow speed is how it should feel in the flow band due to flow time dilation. I would always be listening for an angle of 69 😂
If u want to belly laugh, be okay with falling and laughing with your group. Get out and try something new! I started skiing at 50. I may never ski this good or do things of O’Leeps challenges caliber but I will teach all my grandchildren to ski…. They can take it where ever they want.
Love em. Here is showed that if you open all boot buckles but keep the strap around the liner loosely it may prevent you from falling out of your boots. On a different note. I personally prefer to when I tighten the buckles and booster strap to put it on the inside of the plastic just around the liner. Snug and nice :)
I suck at skiing? That's so very rude, man.... Besides, how would you know... I've never skid, skyed, skied..... Not on snow anyway.... But one day... One day man...

People aren't doing snow plow turns because they are useless above 10 mph, not because they are embarrassed

Thank you for taking the time to write that 🙏🏻
@ I watched your video on the hip drill, similar to the hand drag, did it skiing, and wow thank you!
what binding position you would recommend for an medium skier, that mostly drives on pist and trys to learn some small jumbs (180, 360), Skis: Bent 90
Very nice video
Thank you 🙏
Nice work Jens and Henry
Thank you Tom.
Jens your black sunglasses are awesome. What are they called?
I wear brown sunglasses in this one and they are Oakley hmm not frogskins (they’re also cool) but I can’t remember what they’re called.
thank u!!
You're welcome!
My problem is icy pistes (espe ially in Hintertux 😂) where you always risk slipping and second what to do with my arms and poles
A bit wider feet, a lot more outside ski pressure.
@0:05 reason 1: picking Atomics over Head ski's :P also the perfect turn shape isnt round, its more of a comma ( ,) in like a circle, out more bow like.
Easy choice.
@@StompItTutorials just messing ofcourse :) all about preference.
At end when you did smaller smaller radius, what is the size of the radius? About 20 meter? That looks very nice.
At what minute and second in the video? 20m is rather large and I probably never did such large turns in the video.
Thank you. Say the last turn at 18:08? Looking at carv leader board, most of 150+ run are around 10 meter. If I try to make the radius smaller, it becomes skidding and not carving. 😢

Hello, thank you for your content I learned a lot from it, what do you think about double radius skis (14-17) are they okay for carving ?
Yeah they´ll be sick for it :)
5 minutes in until the CARV commercial
That seemed like the perfect spot for it.
Mujhe nhi ata straps use krna , ek short daldo kaise krte hai.
If u want to belly laugh, be okay with falling and laughing with your group. Get out and try something new!
I started skiing at 50.
I may never ski this good or do things of O’Leeps challenges caliber but I will teach all my grandchildren to ski…. They can take it where ever they want.
Agree falling is kind one of the best parts of skiing.
If I’m not hitting negative turn angles I’m not skiing hard enough. 😎
Yep
I live and ski in Utah, but they won't ship Carv 2 to me. So you know why?
They probably do now? Try again.
@StompItTutorials I had to do FedEx because their system couldn't mail it. Thanks for the response. Hoping to carve this year!
Sponsored by Carv?
5 reasons you suck at skiing 😂😂 We have never met but this guy knows me so well…😂😂
Hahaha. Im glad it sounds like I hit the nail on the head?
Dude what’s up with the booster strap??! From what i see you are tightening only the liner. Is that what you’re doing??? Why?
Love em. Here is showed that if you open all boot buckles but keep the strap around the liner loosely it may prevent you from falling out of your boots.
On a different note. I personally prefer to when I tighten the buckles and booster strap to put it on the inside of the plastic just around the liner. Snug and nice :)
Nah, there's way more than 5 reasons why I suck at skiing.
@@yossarianreborn2904 hahaha that’s how I hope people would take the title of the video 👍
In my opinion, you will never be a great skiier unless you have a racing background.. AKA Slalom , GS , downhill..
Sure thats the best training to get great.
You dont need a phone.. Just drive the downhill hand. You werent doing that.
Yeah my hand comes up some. I forced it down now i think.
@ Do not think. The true art of the craft is to not " Think" .. React , Zen.
I suck at skiing? That's so very rude, man.... Besides, how would you know... I've never skid, skyed, skied..... Not on snow anyway.... But one day... One day man...
Haha, Watch the first 60 seconds I talk to myself.
