Thanks Josh, You demonstrate a crossover drill perfectly. Focusing on hips, knees, ankles, a skier unconsciously crosses over. There is an intimidation factor in getting a skier to just move their weight off their balance like a crossover drill does. FWIW; Crossovers are thrusting one's COM(inches below the belly button) forward diagonally over the skis. This movement can be easy or aggressive and the skis come around automatically EVERY TIME(within reason). This simple weight shift enacts that hips knees ankles sequence unconsciously. There it is; conscious versus unconscious crossovers, two ways to get different students moving like a skier.
Another gem! thanks Josh, your way of really explaining the movements is the best I've found on youtube. Do you have an instructional video for sale? Thanks again, I can't wait to get on the slopes this Sunday to put this into practice.
Gross > Fine movements. Hips > Knees > Ankles in that order from the start of the turn. Hips go first to give large power, knees to steer, ankles for finer movements like slight edge control. I've always taught start with the feet and move your way up to the hips, but I'm going to give this a try to see how it feels.
The Key to carving is when you take your weight off the downhill foot, lift your cheek and set it on the edge of a barstool. Lifting your cheek keeps your upper body vertical instead of leaning into the turn and the cheek on the edge angles your legs much more than just balancing on the foot.
@@jamesdunn9714 Of course they aren't. It takes imagination to visualize what they are doing and then create an analogy that anyone can relate to, to explain what they need to do with their bodies to allow the skis to carve. All they do is See their knees leaning into the turn so that's what they say without the necessary refinement. Try visualize my explanation that always accompanies that analogy. By lifting your cheek, it forces your upper body to stay vertical which you need to stay balanced on the arch of the turning ski. Lean your upper body Into the turn too much, and you will have too much weight on the inside of the turn and the inside ski. Try Thinking about what I say instead of fighting me. You just might learn something.

Josh wears colorful clothing and has a good accent yew knooow.
thank you, very properly and briefly
Can anyone please explain this to me in a different way? I don't get it sorry

Hoooo.....really enthusiastic...
Hips, knees, anckle - that´s it. Thanks
Hip sneeze, ankles! That's how I'll remember it :D
Super
Back when helmets weren't as popular?

Your hips are actually at the top of your femurs and Josh is pointing to the crest of his pelvis. Still, well done and informative.

@@JB91710 Lol! You need to get current and get away from bar stool nonsense.
@@jamesdunn9714 Yell that to every GS and Super G skier. It is Exactly what they are doing
@@JB91710 They are not thinking of a cheek on the bar stool. I guarantee that!
