Baller lcgordon Posted May 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2016 Hi I was thinking about doing some video coaching and wanted your guys opinion. I watched the Seth example that is on this site and it looks good. I emailed him and he gave me some info. I also saw Chris Parrish does it also. Chris is 45 bucks a time and you can send him 1 pass. Seth is 150 bucks but you can send him 6 passes at one time and he makes a video for you explaining it. Is there any other people you would recommend or have experience with. Im not trying to cheap out but using Chirs I could give 3 different passes at 3 different times as I progress and need new feed back for the same price as Seth. But Seth seems like he may go into a bit more detail. Does anybody have any experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski6jones Posted May 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2016 Seth is a top notch coach although I've only ever skied with him in person. Never had any coaching with CP. I like the idea of sending six passes so he can see all of my problems. With one pass you might manage to hide some problems that need correcting where that's pretty unlikely over six passes, at least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mbabiash Posted May 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2016 I had video coaching from CP last season and I plan on doing more this year. Unless it's changed, I sent 3 or more passes to Chris last year each lesson. He's a great coach. My gate is so much better now and I'm skiing much better as a result of his coaching.

Baller CParrish43 Posted May 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2016 @lcgordon you can send me up to 4 passes and try to pick the passes that you feel like you'd want me to see out of that set. Then from there I do voice over at any speed , frame by frame or normal speed. After that I send it back to you , we chat about it before your next set.

Baller lcgordon Posted May 13, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted May 13, 2016 Awesome Thanks for the info. I was remembering the info wrong. It has been a bit since I have been on your site. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BRY Posted May 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 13, 2016 Chet Raley is great too. Palm Beach Training Center He wants a 3 to 5 minute video (lots of skiing in 3 to 5 minutes, 8 passes easy). At $50 its a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller lcgordon Posted May 13, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted May 13, 2016 Thanks I will look into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller lcgordon Posted May 13, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted May 13, 2016 I dont doubt anybodies ability to teach or ski. Im sure they are all great. I was just wanting options and to hear people personal experience and who they would recommend. And one of the last priorities is bang for my buck. Not a huge concern but I am thinking about it.

Baller_ RichardDoane Posted May 16, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted May 16, 2016 +1 for using @Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller lcgordon Posted May 16, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted May 16, 2016 May try Chet and Chirs out this year they are the same price basically and would not hurt to get both opinions I would think. Seth seems great but he is triple the price. Seems like he does a great job tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted May 16, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted May 16, 2016 if you charge 3 times as much, you only have to work 1/3 as hard..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller lcgordon Posted May 16, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted May 16, 2016 Wish I could charge my boss more. I like the idea of working 1/3 as hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gregy Posted May 16, 2016 Baller Share Posted May 16, 2016 I sent CP video he reviewed it plus we talked on phone. He gave me some very specific things to correct and a plan to correct them. I picked up a full pass in a just a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencerhealey Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Any update? How did it work out? Was it worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller lcgordon Posted July 26, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted July 26, 2016 Chet was a great guy. Very nice and allowed some calls after the fact. Pretty much he just wanted me to straighten my legs everywhere. Pretty much just talked about gate pull out and turn in. It was good but was kind of looking for more tips like what to do to keep myself from stuffing the tip. Then if I dont get on the front of the ski I turn on the tail. How to get somewhere in the middle and a bunch of other small tips to help me kind of fix shorter term problems. He pretty much went at it like restart your skiing and you will be much better in the long run. So in short was it anything I have never heard no but it was kind of something I needed to hear in a persons voice to make me start working on it and stop thinking little changes was going to fix me.

Baller ski6jones Posted July 26, 2016 Baller Share Posted July 26, 2016 @lcgordon Sounds in line with this clinic. Depends on whether you want a bandaid or a transplant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ski6jones Posted July 26, 2016 Baller Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'm about 4 years into my transplant. No regrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller lcgordon Posted July 26, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted July 26, 2016 I do think it is important to get little tweaks/bandaid info also. I could use a little help with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bkreis Posted July 27, 2016 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2016 scores are important to skiers typically, personally, I'm willing to learn to ski better regardless of scores as I want longevity in the sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
