Baller skihart Posted June 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted June 27, 2018 The early edge change is challenging and i find it easier at 22 and 28 for practice for sure but somehow 35 is like i have to relearn how to ski again...very frustrating. My brain has a hard time starting the edge change before i go past that right hand gate buoy. I guess I have always felt I have to pull through the gates and then make my move but i realize that in order to get a good one ball i cant actually be pulling through the gates but have to be transitioning as i pass through them. I have had a few good attempts at this and as long as I keep my elbows pinned to my vest it usually results in a good solid one ball. If not I get a ton of slack and take a big hit out of one.

Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted July 11, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted July 11, 2018 @twhisper the "reverses" you described is a seriously good drill. I've tried it 3 times, starting at 28/28 and it took 3 sets to make it down to 23mph. Sure enough when I started if I let my elbows out I couldn't get outside the buoy, even at 26. Weight distribution, shoulder position, "stack", and handle control are all painfully obvious when not done correctly at the slow speeds. Plus its great conditioning after a normal set. I plan to start doing this drill on a regular basis. Thanks. If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller sunvalleylaw Posted July 11, 2018 Baller Share Posted July 11, 2018 I just wanted to pop in and say that I spent some more time over the last couple days watching the videos and looking at the information on Terry's site, and it gives very good information regarding the ski technique topics that are currently active here. (not that we shouldn't also discuss stuff here). I was thinking this morning that one video alone that he added this spring was worth the monthly fee, even if you stay only a month. Totally worth it. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Fam-man Posted July 11, 2018 Baller Share Posted July 11, 2018 @sunvalleylaw I totally agree. Watching the video and explanation helped me see differences in edge change, handle control and level shoulders. Amazing resource Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller epnault Posted July 11, 2018 Baller Share Posted July 11, 2018 @twhisper - is it true that I can join on a month to month basis? Can I have access to all past videos too? I live in the great white north so an annual membership doesn't make sense for me. Thanks Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Skier Terry Winter Posted August 9, 2018 Elite Skier Share Posted August 9, 2018 @epnault Yes, it’s month to month and all of the videos are always on there. You can stop or pause any time you like. I don’t post other skiers’ videos on the site, just the one’s I’ve done mostly using myself or others pros as examples.

Baller ScottScott Posted August 10, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 10, 2018 @twhisper "You'll learn how to absorb the wake with your knees".... in your previous comment... There's a lot of people that don't want to hear that.... Along with your compressed position thread that ended too soon, you're turning some people's waterskiing world upside down.

Baller ALPJr Posted August 13, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 13, 2018 In my mind Train With Terry is flat out the best value in slalom skiing today. I've been knocking around this sport for about 40 years. Read lots of articles, watched a few videos, and trained with a couple great coaches and ski partners over the years. For me Terry's ability to pass on knowledge, analyze a skier's abilities and make suggestions for improvements that are clear, concise and easy to understand is fantastic!

Baller skihart Posted March 6, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 6, 2019 Just a bump for one of my favourite threads as I start to get ready for a preseason Florida trip. The video analysis of Allison is so good. Makes me think it might be time to join the @twhisper site to get ready for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Fraser Posted March 7, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 7, 2019 @skihart join the site and get a video lesson. It is a no brainer. Warning!! Once you do it you really need to communicate with the people you ski with about what you are doing to avoid coaching or boat speeds/line lengths that are not in alignment with what you are working on. I battle this with the people I ski with and other coach types that pull me...some disagree with what I am doing (staying at slower speeds or longer lines) but they do not disagree with my progress!

Baller MDB1056 Posted July 3, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2019 @horton - thanks for putting this up again. Great example of his coaching. Unrelated - @matthewbrown - one of my favorite videos is if you sking the S2 at -32. About the most picture perfect pass I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aupatking Posted September 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 16, 2019 Totally worth the money. Terry made something I’ve been trying to figure out very obvious. I’ve been trying to fix this, but not knowing where, or exactly what was happening. There it is, clear as day. It’s not the only thing he saw, but it’s the 1 thing to work on now that should lead to a light year jump, should I be able to fix it. Thank you @twhisper . That pass fell over and over, easily, today with none of the same issues. I just have to hammer it into muscle memory now, and not let that creep back in.

Baller Killer Posted September 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 16, 2019 @aupatking how are you fixing that? Pretty common pro vs Joe technique you're displaying. I also notice from video of my skiing that I'm not advancing the ski off the 2nd wake like better skiers do, not in good alignment as displayed by the 2nd picture there.

Baller C5Quest Posted September 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 16, 2019 So what was the big break through? All we see is a guy with good form and big blur with lines? Probably have the same issues I’m working on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted September 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 16, 2019 @C5Quest the lines are handle and hips. Terry has one line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Drago Posted September 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 16, 2019 @C5Quest Sign up! My guess is there is a line where his hands are and where his hips are. T whisper brings those line together even through the edge change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller C5Quest Posted September 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 16, 2019 Ya I signed up this summer but haven’t had the chance to get him some video. It’s on the short list to get this going. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller addkerr Posted September 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 16, 2019 Plus one on Terry. The dude is awesome. Iv had a couple conversations with him and a video lesson. He's actually spends a good amount of time on your video. Way more than I expected. The most I have ever had from video coaching. Great he runs a side by side with his video to show what he is talking about. Iv done a lot of pro video coaching and Terry was by far the best. He made me feel like he actually wanted to do some coaching rather than the feeling I get from others that just palm you off with basic techniques without watching you or explaining. Be patient as I can imagine it takes him an age to do everyone's sets. It's totally worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 6_Buoys Posted September 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 16, 2019 Just came across this post. Great stuff and good reminder for those of us trying to figure out why we can't shorten the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aupatking Posted September 16, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 16, 2019 @C5Quest a couple of the other guys were correct, my hands/handle are coming up off the second wake, away from my hips so, yes, one line for handle, one line for hips where Terry just has 1 line. @Killer the movement is not the easiest to describe but it’s basically tightening your shoulders and elbows in while bringing your ribs forward. I think you could just lean back and get your handle where you want it, but then you’re just leaning back. What he is showing me is fixing it, the right way. In my video comparison you can see the drastic difference it makes to how the ski casts and changes edge. I’ve practiced it for a couple sets and it makes the whole world easy.

Baller Dacon62 Posted September 21, 2019 Baller Share Posted September 21, 2019 Just got this done. Wow, so good and can go back for reference anytime. Highly recommend! Terry also sent an additional video drill to address my main weak area(handle control). With the video review, of what a pass should look like in comparison to what I am currently doing, I feel like I now have the tools to break past 28 off. Too bad our season is pretty much done. At least I have great video to review all winter and burn the correct images of what a pass should look like into my brain. Just do it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
