mrpreuss Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 What is the best advice you have that you think might help other skiers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted April 28, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 28, 2011 1) Only concentrate on changing "ONE THING" at a time. 2) When setting a new ski up "BINDINGS FIRST" AND "FIN SECOND." 3) Stay in your "LEVERAGED POSITION" during your edge change. 4) COM "Center of Mass" in the direction of travel. 5) "NEVER" "EVER" criticize your Wifes driving !!!!!

Baller 6balls Posted April 28, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 28, 2011 CP watched me ski my opening pass at 28 off (my first receipt of real coaching) when I was in M2 at 36 mph, and said "Dude, I love your intensity...but you don't have to be 90 degrees to the boat path at ALL TIMES".

Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted April 28, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted April 28, 2011 "Everything that happens in slalom depends on what you did the instant before". Circa 1982. I still think about this almost every set. If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clemsondave Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Relax your hands around the turn. If you cannot open your hand and have the handle stay there, you are not free of the boat. Taught to me by Carl Peterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MAD11 Posted April 29, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2011 Do you see in this video how Andy Mapple skis? Look at it, understand that he is the only guy in the world that skis this style and that you will never be capable of doing it so don't try!

Baller Razorskier1 Posted April 29, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2011 If it were this simple. My problem is that it is the synthesis over the years of countless ski tips to suit my particular ski style, along with watching and learning from what better skiers do, that has made the biggest difference over time. So perhaps the best tip I've ever gotten is, "watch, listen, learn, and then integrate it all into your own personal ski style" . . . and never quit trying things and learning things!

Baller Ham_Wallace Posted April 29, 2011 Baller Share Posted April 29, 2011 You can't teach an old dawg new tricks. Don't try it, it will only make the dawg mad. Find a ski that fits the dawg's style' don't try to fit the dawg to the ski's style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
