Love these videos, I've watched just about all of them, but upping the fidelity would be welcome change. Even 720p would make it seem a bit more modern and up to date.
This is the expert go to video by far...beautiful control...but what is the overall purpose of the javlin turn...by far the most difficult drill to master...any build up ideas to perfecting this exercise and what is the main function of this exercise...thx josh
+tinman3012 Thanks for the feedback. We'll be making some changes in our video compression so you'll begin to see our video's at a much higher resolution in the future.
Steering should really be a part of all carving turns until apex. All the drills of this video show excessively extended turns, too late apexes, so that at apex the skis turn too much and they get an angle of 90 degrees to the fall-line. At all advanced carved turns, you should make an earlier apex and start the transition, before the skis get this right angle to the fall-line. Josh Foster does this, when he shows real turns, not drills.
"Focuses a little bit on the end of the turn", nice drills however the term steering is a bit misleading. Whenever this concept is introduced to advancing skiers, particularly in steeper terrain the reaction is a natural progression to the dreaded Zeds. Steering becomes a security blanket to impatient skiers, in the bumps I see self described experts shaving nice round bumps into Z line slamfests. I recommend letting the ski turn the foot, in places where the radius needs quick reduction a bit of thigh twist is effective but the primrose path to Zeds is a temptation.
Must have been a slow news day huh Foster? You had to make this up just to get another video in the can? Your Skis make the turn! What you are demonstrating has nothing to do with You turning the skis except at the end when you were forcing them. Now why would you want to do all that work? Do you make your car turn more by twisting in your seat? You, probably do!
Great demos! I loved Big White.
josh, you're the best!!

Drills build skills,good ones
2:15 LOL. That’s my normal technique.
I don't get these low resolution quality videos. It's 2015 for crying out loud.

Julian. This is the best teaching you will ever find on skiing. Watch and read. It IS this EZY! ruclips.net/video/AHH3hpi3X8A/видео.html
Nothing pisses me off more than this "modern" notion that al you need to control speed is turn shape
It’s true. You can snowplow down if turning makes you uncomfortable

You're just a troll. Nothing more.
@@jamesdunn9714 Are you Still incapable of discussing ski teaching so you have to resort to that childish troll crap?
@@JB91710 I call it like I see it. Besides, you do not discuss ski teaching you pontificate.
