His message is consistent throughout the video, the last third he clearly articulates/ demonstrates the key point of loading, and release, without blocking. This is great to view several times in advance of the season.
Interesting that you say that because with my 54 year background in skiing and teaching, I have determined that he Really and Truthfully has No Clue how to teach, whatsoever. Not even close. Ask yourself if you know what the heck he's talking about. I assure you, he said Nothing.

Hi Yas & JF. Great videos, awesome instructions. Do you think you can post a video from one of your bump classes where you go through techniques and drills?
@Kaloyan Bankov There are a few. 1. Ski with both poles to your side. That is, they stick out on each side and touch the snow. Keep the poles touching even in turns. 2. You keep your body over your boots while doing #1. 3. Double pole plant to bring your body up. Poll with both poles at the same time. You should yourself being pulled forward. 4. Always use your poles to initiate turns. 5. Lean into turn to the inside of the turn slightly depending on the sharpness and speed of the turn. 6. Keep your hand in front of you at all times. You should be able to see your hands through your goggles. Have your elbows even with the front of your body. 7. Always, always, have your shins pushed into your boot tongue. 8. Stay off your heals. 9. Start the top of your turns with the big toe ball of your foot pressing down into the snow to get good edging. Turn your femur to help allow your ankles to get the skis on edge. 10. When you turn pressure the outside ski. If you weight the inside ski that will tend to get your body back along with your inside arm getting back. Both of those help to get you off balance and into the back seat. The double pole plant is excellent for keeping you out of the back seat. Hands forward and in view always.
This is my favourite class. I have watched it many times over the past 3 years. But guys, can someone clean up the audio ? There must be some techie who can clean it up.
2:26 What you saw prior to this point is Show with No Tell. Nothing about upper body position which is critical in allowing your skis to make a turn. Nothing about balancing on one arch at a time. Nothing about how and when to change your weight from your downhill foot to your uphill foot and why the skis will turn when you do that. Show with No tell. His accent impresses you so you think you learned something. 3:00 The weight change from your downhill foot to your uphill foot NEEDS to be instantaneous just like standing on the pedals of a bicycle. If you change the weight slowly, your lower ski will slide sideways, your feet will be far apart, your uphill ski will not be on the arch enough to control the turn and the only way you will finish the turn is by forcing your skis around. He is 100% incorrect. 3:13 Watch what happens when he shows it. That's what will happen to you if you don't get on the uphill foot quickly. You balance from arch to arch just like pedaling a bicycle. 3:48 He is turning slow but he instantly changed control from his left foot to his right foot or that right foot would not have made the turn. HE, Thinks it's a slow change even though he isn't doing it. 3:53 Instantly off of the right foot and watch how fast that left foot makes the turn. Through all the upcoming turns He isn't doing what he just told you to do. Just as he starts to make a turn he is thinking, "Get off my right foot. Get off my Left foot." He just isn't telling You that. If you don't get off that downhill foot and balance on the uphill foot, the uphill ski won't turn. Period. 4:32. Now this is the best way to demonstrate to you what he is doing. Watch this in slow motion. He is on his left arch. 4:34 He has decided to start another turn and stops his upper body from following his skis across the hill and faces and leans down the hill. He gets off his left foot at this spot. He Was balanced on his left foot so he didn't fall down the hill. When he got off that foot, he was no longer balanced so he started to fall over like a tree. That plus the motion of his skis going across the hill made his right foot instantly roll over. The ski got on edge, the ski bent and made a turn which arrested his fall and he is balanced on that right arch throughout the turn. No quick weight change, no turn. You will go straight down the hill and you will have to push the tails around to make the skis turn. 4:48 "The lower body leads the turning effort." Completely and totally wrong. The legs feel the skis twisting your feet and then the legs so he is telling you that YOU have to Make the legs feel like that instead of teaching you why the skis will make it happen. 5:00 I know English isn't his first language but what he says here makes no sense and doesn't teach anything. 5:22 Massively confusing. He is describing what happens when you do things he ISN'T telling you. Really! Show with No Tell. It's really a pile of disconnected words that describe what happens through a turn but not teaching anything that will make it happen. Yikes! 5:47 Getting off your downhill foot (His inside leg) doesn't control the radius of the turn. It just gets it started. You control the radius by the amount you move your hip into the turn which quickly changes the angle of your leg and gets the ski more on the edge. The ski bends more so the turn is tighter. Basically a carved turn. Think of getting off your downhill foot, lifting that cheek and slide it over onto the edge of a Barstool. By lifting your cheek you are forcing your upper body to stay vertical in the perfect position to be balanced no matter what foot you are on. That's 6 minutes into a 33 minute video. There is no way I'm going to fix this entire thing. You Should be able to see the difference between Talking and Teaching.
@@JPaul-vu4lp Thanks Jon. You wouldn't believe how many people attack me for critiquing their Heroes. My teaching method is so EZY to understand but they won't even try. www.Patreon.com/JB91710
@@hervedepow4826 " CSIA Level 4 Examiner, CSCF Level 3 +++" Does that Impress you? Doesn't impress me. In fact, it tells me that a person that NEEDS to have those levels of certification, has no clue how to teach because it is too EZY to teach. Teaching skiing only requires one level of certification that can be taught to any competent skier in one sitting. Make$ you kind of wonder what tho$e organization$ are up to.
Actually yes, it does impress me as the CSIA is the largest association of ski instructors in Canada that I know of with thousands of members. Being a level 4 examiner means you are someone who qualifies the very best within this association. I noticed that you were being critical of what I thought was an excellent lesson by an instructor of instructors at the highest levels of the CSIA and wondered what qualified you to do so. I am still wondering.

I suggest you read my comment. He actually taught nothing. You only want to Hope he did. Big difference between Talking and Teaching.
Great linear lesson! I want to ski at Whistler so much...
soy professor de esqui con dobles temporadas y la verdad es un placer escuchar y ver las clases de jf Bealiu tecnicamente buenisimo
Ah ha, Ah ha, Ah ha moment!!! Many thanks JFB!!! :)

brilliant skier and coach!

The best of the best of the best video i have ever seen in skiing technique.Darren turner,warren smith are after you man.
+Mehmet Berk Arslan Check on Harald Harb too!
Klaus Maier, Harald Harb, Josh White and JFs videos helped me so much in improving my skiing.
Fantástica explicación!!
He didn't teach anything.
Hi Yas & JF. Great videos, awesome instructions. Do you think you can post a video from one of your bump classes where you go through techniques and drills?
Great videos but No instruction at all. Talk with No tell.
What would be a good drill to remove the backseat skiing?
@Jack O. You don't want to >lean> forward at all. You move your hips over your boots and keep them there until a turn.
@Kaloyan Bankov There are a few. 1. Ski with both poles to your side. That is, they stick out on each side and touch the snow. Keep the poles touching even in turns. 2.
