How's that, I don't know if I've got that, I was like, okay, let me just
like, wing it to here, you know? That was the rush that I was looking for, I guess.
I'm super happy that happened, I kind of needed that buzz, you know?
Hey guys, now we're out here in Laax today and we're going to continue teaching Osman how to ski.
Yes, so the plan is in this video is that hopefully
can bring Osman to a nice parallel turn.
Ideally the whole way,
then I'd be pretty stoked. Okay.
Two key mountain skills. The first one is the traverse.
You can lose a lot of elevation quickly without having to do so many tips. Okay, all you have to do
stand centered and you're going to be a little bit to the uphill edges.
So I like to make these videos very step-by-step but in reality, things often happen like they happened here.
So this traverse to the snow plateau
Yeah, now it's already blending into the next thing I'm going to teach you, which is to go from snowplough to parallel at the end.
Okay, which you're already doing just thanks to the fact that
it's more comfortable to be parallel.
Yeah, when I was turning down, it was, I almost needed to lift a leg a little bit, you know?
Yeah and come into,
this helped me so much. So this is sort of like when you're snowboarding, we're going to slide sideways.
Okay, just down so that center mass shadow, right?
So right now it's a little bit more on that uphill foot.
We've got to move it more towards the downhill foot and the skis are going to slide away, so you can slide and then stop.
Slide.
Give it a go.
Move the shadow down and back. Yeah. You're going to sort of slightly forwards because the tails are gripping the snow more.
Okay. And if you move the shadow down and forwards, the noses are going to grip more and it's going to make you go backwards.
Got you.
That was a little loose, but well done.
Grab it and put it between your legs. I'm going to pinch them together.
Yeah, he was pointing the skis in the direction of the lift, very important.
Thanks guys. I freaking love plough turns.
I think this is a bit mad.
He's loose again.
Nice. You're getting back into it.
Yeah, I feel it a bit.
We will start the plough turns or like the turns in a plough, just like before.
We want to learn to, like, match the ski, so
you're in a plough then you just rotate one foot in, to have the same direction as the other one. Okay.
And the first way we're going to do that, let's try to do the bow tie with a ski again.
See if, just do it on the uphill ski. So we're going to try to do that at the same time as we're traversing over.
So that is so representing like if we had done a turn this way
you put all the weight on the outside foot and then you can just do that. So this is our turn
still snow ploughing and then we get more and more weight on the outside foot here,
and this is where we're then going to try to
match that inside ski.
Okay
That was exciting.
We were mashing there, and a little higher, now we're here already. Okay, wow.
So what we've got to do now is to learn how to
change edges at the same time so we can do it already up here.
You sort of figured out how to parallel turn by yourself.
Now we start doing it but just through the upper body, okay?
Well the upper body in the beginning we talked about tensioning the core to keep you steady.
Okay, and to start to turn we should still do that.
Okay this is just to practice the edge change and also that you press a little bit from the uphill foot.
So you start to turn slowly, go down and then back to skid, and then start slowly.
Just to practice to start to turn from the feet,
through the knees and up.
Somehow like, you know when you're a kid and
you're playing computer games and you want to turn left and you turn left with your body expecting
the car to turn, like yeah. Exactly like that.
Yeah, yeah, so if you just take it back to the snowplough lesson earlier today then,
Tight and then just press that uphill foot down a little bit, then it's going to happen.
Should I show you once? So I'm pressing off this leg, I go down.
Have this in mind, that extension of the uphill foot and that
patience you need, like you extend it and you wait and the turn happens slowly.
This guy learns too quick. This is not quite normal.
So sick.
Man, I feel like I'm just feeling it now, you know.
Thank you guys for watching. If you learn anything, like and subscribe would be cool.
This was a fun video to make, thank you so much Osman.
Hope you learn a lot. Up here's a playlist with more how-to-ski videos with drills.
Also the technique tips could be useful. Dude you learned so fast. That was really cool.
Do you think you're going to ski again? Yeah most definitely.
Definitely smash that subscribe button, like and follow the videos as much as you can, awesome guy here, really.
Thank you so much. Smash that. Good job.
Let's go for another couple of laps then. Step into the sunset. Perfect. Alright, after you my friend.
