Terry Winter Neo 2

[Maxsend]

I could watch this all day.

Notice how he stands tall before the turn. I need to do that. How about you? What are you working on?

Agree 100%. Terry is a slalom clinic . Such great form always 

[dave2ball]

For those of you who don’t know Terry he can pretty much ski on a 2X4. He has always had great  form and technique

So tall and smooth almost it looks like a curving gate pullout glide. Amazing.

[lpskier]

AND he’s 12th in the country (56 in the world) in OM jump.

It doesn't really matter what ski Terry is riding, it's always going to look good!

[Wish]

Any opportunity to post this vid…feels like one. Worth all 5+mn

Always loved that classic  slo-mo Terry video . Great ski too - X7 - don't see those come up often 

This one is my most fun Terry video - but needs great ear buds and volume to experience.

If I am consuming any of the flowpoint content correctly Terry isnt standing tall at that moment his ski is carrying out and he's extending based on his edge change as opposed to extending knees or pressing on the ski the ski is on a path that creates his standing tall.  

I could be off but thats my read.

I stand up after the edge change. I think about standing up and squaring up to the buoy with my chest and shoulders.

See I need to consume more so that's an active leg extension pushing into the ski coming into the ball?

[Terry Winter]

@BraceMakerJust describing the way I get it done. It’s very much an action for me. I move up and out into the buoy. I want to engage the tip of the ski by moving my hips over my bindings, and I want to use my entire body as an extension of the rope to have enough length to get around the buoy.

@twhisper Are you pressing with your rear foot to begin the shift up and forward, or using your body's inertia in combination with the slowing ski to "passively" achieve that tall position? Or neither, and I'm way off base?

Kind of like standing up out of a chair. I press through both legs to move my hips from behind my bindings to get them up over my bindings. At the same time I am leaning into the move with my upper body. Kind of like a snow ski jumper presses into the wind with their chest. My effort goes into standing up, leaning into it, and squaring my chest up to the buoy so that my chest and shoulders are pointing in the same direction as my ski and hips. The whole time I am going through these motions I am doing everything I can to make sure my elbows never leave the lower sides of my body. I want the pull of the boat to continue to pull from my hips as long as possible out to the buoy. If the pull gets away from the center of my body it will move up to act on the shoulders, and the reaction will be to continue to sit back with the hips.

My new favorite BOS thread.  So much gold.  

[Mastercrafter]

Love it. Thanks Terry. 

[BGrow76]

@twhisper You are amazing to watch! It looks like you are in a full rear boot? What advantages do you get with a full rear boot?

[Horton]

Watched @twhisper run 5@41 from the boat yesterday. Not sure why he does not go ahead and run it.

[Mateo_Vargas]

Rico@41?

[Horton]

Did not want to make you look bad in front of your daughter.

 

[Wish]

Why does he not ski big events?  

[Horton]

@Wish lives in the west with wife & daughter. 

[Wish]

Been some pro events in Cali. Seems like he had not skied those either?? 

[Horton]

@Wish false

[lhoover]

Is Terry running 34mph or 36mph when he skis tourneys?  How old is Terry these days?

[Horton]

Terry is old as dirt but still skiing 36

[ski6jones]

Nobody looks better on a ski.

[C5Quest]

On another note....anyone ride the Neo 2 yet??

I’m working on that too. I’ve gotten coaching from @twhisper a few times and he always wants me to “stand tall” into the turn. Also to keep my shoulders open to the boat during acceleration. Constant work in progress. Terry’s a natural athlete and a beast behind the boat. Super cool guy too. Saw him run 5@41 from the boat as well. Amazing.
