Best simple tip you've ever received about your skiing?

[MeenaSmalls]

stop listening to tswift when you ski

start listening to tswift when you ski

 

[Garebear]

put your skis on before you try to ski

 

[lwgp]

this one confuses me could you elaborate?

imagine you're carving around a pylon, the ski closest to the pylon is your inside ski, the other one is your outside ski, put more weight on your outside ski, helps to even out the pressure so your turns gonna be smoother/quicker

 

[ross25boss]

look at the rails end while railing

Look her in the tits while railing

 

[Wrenn]

Stop looking like such a boner when you land when you land you look like a boner - lj

 

[AKStig]

Lean back and believe

 

[Bombay]

To be more aggressive and stop riding backseat

 

[Willard]

Limp the wrist, press the twins, cocaine.

For everyone talking about pointing your shoulders down the hill, throw that thought out the door. Think about turning with your legs (imagine having a jar under each foot and you have to twist the lid off using your foot/leg). This results in your upper body facing down the hill but just remember that you can only turn your legs so far across your body (about 30-45 degrees). This is probably the biggest problem with most peoples skiing.

Stance: Even flex in your ankle, knee and hip, hands up (elbows infront of your chest). If you are are too upright in the hip then you won't be able to turn your legs as described above, the more flex the larger the range of motion you have.

Jumping: Make sure you pop; extend evenly through your ankles, knees and hips at the same rate as that the kicker rises, you should be fully extended when your toes hit the lip.

Got plenty of other tips if anyone is interested but those are the ones which will help you the most.

allie oop flat 5s in pipe...just stare at the coping

 

[000000000000]

lock your heel, lean on toes, and keep weight centered on your outside ski when traversing no fall zones.

damn never really thought about how one is supposed to pop off a jump, but this describes it perfectly very nice

 

[HalKK]

feel it don't think it.

 

[crazy_karl]

Go fast. Take chances.

 

[Agamemnon]

''when in trouble , tuck for double''

True, but when in a pickle, tuck for triple

 

[slamdunk]

The tip that made the single biggest improvement to me skiing powder was - " reach downhill for your pole plant".

 

[Aenomaly]

"Always try to be the one with the most fun on the mountain."

 

[icculus.]

have fun

 

[cct_222]

Go fast. Take chances.

so true, when i stopped being a puss and i got over the fear of going fast i started progressing so much faster and grew my first pubes

 

[.otto.]

this one confuses me could you elaborate?

keeping your weight on your outside edge helps carve better and stay aggressive and fast on sharp turns. Its a good tip if you are a racer or carving in genral

 

[esotericjive]

Fuckin send it son.

 

[Lus146]

Once you realize that your body isn't made of glass, it is much easier to learn new tricks.

 

[Bloom.]

Get out of your mind, go into your body.

Stop thinking, start feeling

 

[Carl_the_Llama]

Screw it.

Huck it and tuck it.

[Gr0mo]

The half cut lemon in the shin of your boot to help keep in mind your forward pressure (someone will know what im talking about)

Also pole planting really helped make me a better bump skier.

Keefer told me to breathe more.

helped out a lot.

thanks professor Keefer

After landing a sick skiing trick you ride away all steezy and relaxed

 

[pattyWhack]

Not entirely relevant to park skiing, but with steeps, bumps and drops, this advice is super helpful.

--- You should be able to see your hands at all times. ---

Take it with a grain of salt, but if you can see your hands, it means that you are bringing your shoulders around with every turn. When I say, "see your hands", i mean that they should be slightly in front of you, by your chest. After you poleplant, bring the hand back to this position much like how a boxer returns his gloves back to his face for protection.

Also, it makes your chestcam footage look controlled.

tldr; hope it helps somebody.

 

[Camharhar]

always pee in your butt before puttin on skis

 

[losh]

hop on the rail, grind to the end and don't come off early

*tom wallisch (the wallisch project)

 

[-Robert]

Go fast. Take chances.

Going to sig this!

Also, don't think about it. Don't carve. Got to commit.

 

[FastSpeed]

rock out with your cock out

 

[Ryanvdonk]

harden the fuck up!

 

[617freeskier]

Use your poles, don't just hold your hands by your hips. My dad told me that when I was about 13 trying to be steezy. For park, the body will follow where you look. So spot your landings and look at the end of rails.

 

[RubberSoul]

"here, have some of this whiskey"

 

[406]

visualize

 

[Elg]

do backflips, get laid

 

[S.Ki]

These three tips came helpful quite a few times for me:

 

[DrewPeacock]

"Get out of my house or im calling the police"

 

[Alyon]

more pop

 

[SnowMiser]

"keep your dick over the rail"

came here to summon you to post this

 

[Knewnews]

stay forward and own the fall line, always try to be one at least one step ahead of where and how you are headed.

 

[ilikefood]

this one confuses me could you elaborate?

If you're turning right, put (almost) all your weight on the left ski. This is the first step to learning how to carve. Besides pow, there's nothing better than the feeling of your ski snapping back at you after a great carve.

 

[Film.]

get loose, but honestly it helped my skiing so much when I stopped hunching my shoulders.

 

[ItsTubbyTime]

Afterbang hard or go home, no matter how small the trick

 

[DanielPlainview]

think about landing the trick, not falling and getting hurt. instantly helped.

 

[Iliveinutah]

spin your arms and shoulders flat not up or down , at least that helped me allot when learning to spin uncorked spins.

 

[phillyblunt]

Never take yourself too seriously

 

[McLS]

"don't overthink your tricks, feel them"

"if you keep failing, chill, and come back later"

"if your falling down anyways, don't try to get up instantly" bad calf/shinbang came from that

"replace grinding by skimming, think light" helped me tons for my first rails/tube
