Beautiful scenery. I'd like to hear how one avoids the 'slap' of the ski behind you in classic stride, which I hear is the sign of bad technique.

Where is the two-step double-poling ? ruclips.net/video/52tTX1_-cYY/видео.htmlsi=Ewc0sXfGL5aH7Idb ruclips.net/video/wFWrPh68KBw/видео.htmlsi=ioxYDKtqPkcbpJEe

If you put most of your weight on your heel...you will glide longer

Is this the same speaker as in minute physics??

Exactly the advice I was looking for, got pretty wore out yesterday with my poor technique on a long uphill! thanks for the help.

Was not expecting the voice of @minutephysics to pop up here!

Remember that the right wax and skis for the right conditions are just as important as the technique itself, as an inefficient pair of skis make executing the technique difficult. Your poles need to be the right hight as well ;-)

The skier's stride needs to be shortened to allow for a complete weight transfer commitment. This will eliminate the slapping noise you can hear resulting from her glide ski slapping behind the set ski. A committed drive of the glide ski will result in carrying more momentum forward. Sorry to be a pain, but I went through the same instructions from the Norwegian national team coach.

Thank you, this really helped!

They all look the same to me. I'm an alpine skier and an ice skater

So, v2 is basically v1 but polling each and every step?

You made it sound like there was another technique to be more efficient on these terrains. Is there? I’ve been crosscountry skiing for over 30 years now lol if there’s another way please let me know! She looked like she had a really good pace going, and I’m still working on my technique to this day. Getting faster in my older age haha

Are you really supposed to lift your back ski like that in a stride? I thought you glide on both?

Nice clear and concise instruction!

Thanks. These were helpful instructions.

Great video keep ist up

Outstanding intro vid.

Thanks for being the only simplified vid I could find lol.

The skier's timing is way off. Her V2 and V2A need a lot more core activation and knee bend. Her arms are too outstretched while poling and need to come in so that her forearms sit closer to 90-degrees from the ground.

When it comes to the 3 gears used in skate skiing this is the best video I could find. No other video out there covers all three so well in such a short little compact video you can view on your phone right on the trails (not that I needed to do that lol).

Why does he sound exactly like the minute physics guy

This is so funny, I saw it was from a Missoula group but all the while thinking “hey I know these trails, these are home not MT!” So confused until the end 😂

Great instructional video - thanks!

omg. Is this this voice of MinutePhysics?? So distracting. 😅Thanks for the great video

wow ❗️

gotta say, canadian nordic ski terminology is better that american, since you can understand what is meant by it right away.

Excellent video. I didn't know what I was doing ie v1, v2 or v2 alternate. By this video I'm doing v2. I need to learn the other two. I'm stuck in 2nd gear and that may in part explain my exhaustion. So 1st gear is V1, 2nd gear is V2 and 3rd gear is V2 alt. This is exactly what I needed to know. Be trying this out tomorrow. Can't wait. What a fantastic workout skate skiing is. Thanks again for posting this.

V1 (1 push - 2 steps) is unbalanced as you train one side of your body more than the other. I find V2 (1 push - 1 step) really physically demanding, and cant keep it up for more than 5km without rest. My "high gear" is 1 push + 3 steps. My "low gear" for going uphill is like V2 but the push is with 1 stick not 2 sticks. So step 1 - left stick right leg, step 2 - right stick left leg. It's very comfortable for going uphill, I dont know why I never seen anyone else do it that way. Maybe they just have more professional skis that slide better and can use the full V2 without getting exhausted.

On V2 it seem's that the poles are to short haha :) but great video!.

I cannot understand the difference between V1 and V2 alternate after watching this over and over

2:45 Definitely need to put more core into it! All arms.

Greetings from Russia :-) Your video is very good! A little notice. In V2: 1) Do not unbend you arms. You have to keep arms bent AND STATIC until they reach your hips. You have to push with your torso/belly muscles. Girls doesn't push at all with her torso, and uses arms all the time. 2) Plant your poles and push them JUST a bit BEFORE you push with your foot. Girl does that almost at the same time. Timing is crucial here... I hope that will be valuable. Thx for great video.

Very nice video on the three middle gears. Beautiful landscape up there in Montana. Also, as a European it is interesting that in the US the pole use in V1 is still taught asymmetrical, and you will be able to see that all the way up to Jessie Diggins. The European recommendations have changed about 15 years ago, pole use in V1 is almost symmetrical now.

Is this minute physics guy’s voice?

I love that Montanans have to come to Washington for great location! Glad to see you had your trail pass.

I use V1 but every 4th kick is change phase to chage to other side so the strain gets balanced for both sides of body. So rythm is: 3 left - 1 change - 3 right - 1 change. V2 is too demanding for 20kg overweight (for me) if skis are not top notch and track is hard and bumpy. I have one pair of extremely stiff skis which helps a lot for for bumpyness but still is left the question of balance point being too front for V2 due big tummy associated with metabolic syndrome. Tip: if you have gained weight like I have (95kg) and are at the start phase of skate skiing season skating feeling still overwhelmingly hard, it is possible let legs rest by means of double poling for minute or so periodically or after uphill. Just take it as slow as you can and do not think other people. After all skiing is best time of your life. Especially prolonged (over 60 minutes) slow paced skate skiing has tandency to release natural endorphins and endocannabinoids making you feel so good for a while.

Is that in steamboat co

great video thx

beautiful trails and techniques. hello from Stake Lake in Kamloops

In the V2 section the skier appears to plant just before stepping to the next ski contrary to the narration. Is the V2 in the video correct form ?

Not really much explaining going on here...

Where was this video taken?

I didn't quite catch the difference between those two types of skiing but it is really easy to watch this video, the place is really picturesque, and the skiers easily controll their bodies and going without big effort👍

Good piece, but I don't agree that poles and ski hit the ground at "exactly the same time." Many skiers have the poles hit the ground a fraction of a second before the skis. This video is a close examination of that: ruclips.net/video/zbN4cMBojsc/видео.html The difference is tiny, but it's there. For teaching, thinking the landing is the same time is good, even thought it's not really true.

Such a great video. Funny I learned first V2 alternate, then V1 ...now having a hard time learning v2 :D

Note that this was NOT filmed in Montana. Just FYI. But we don’t want any more people where it was filmed don’t ask where.

A beautiful place to train. Thank you for the lesson.

Thank you for creating the videos! Hope to see more :) just got skate skis and this video has helped a lot!!

Ok the cinematography in this video is fantastic. Did not expect that.
