I am a beginner, and it seems like after taking a lesson, this is the best video out there! Thank you REI!!!!!
One of the best video I’ve seen on skating technique!
Thanks Brigitte, glad you found it useful!😀
This video kept my attention the entire time and was nice and thorough. Wish this guy was my teacher!
You packed a lot of good information into this video. Well done!
Very clear and straight to the point. Bravo!
After going cross country skiing with my Finnish girlfriend for the first time, I was so so bad, I kept falling over and sliding backwards up hills. Determined to not embarrass myself again
I know how you feel ! They make it look so easy. Terrifying, sliding backwards down a hill, lol. Taking a turn is also a vital skill that I have yet to learn. Great fun though, and super exercise.
Very helpful. Have skied classic for years and now trying my hand at this. Thank you!
I am transitioning from playing hockey for over 20 years to skate skiing, I found this was really helpful! Thank you!
how’s it going? I’m a figure skater and snowboarder, never put on skis before. I’m going to try xc this winter!
This is an amazing video. THANK YOU. WIth the lack of snow, I can get my students to start visualizing. Thank you!
Execellent instructional video, thank you for taking the time to help out beginners.
Wonderful training. If I would have only watched this before my first try. A must inorder to start correctly, without too much pain.
Thank you for this very instructive video.
Thank you for making this!
Very helpful and informative, thanks!!
We haven’t had snow but here looking forward for next year
Excellent instructional video. Nice job, Greg!
Well done! Thank you for sharing r sharing
Thanks for the well-done video. I'm taking my active, coordinated husband on his first skate ski this week. We followed your video in the house, trying out all of the techniques in our socks. : ) Hoping he'll feel more confident approaching this new sport and enjoy it as much as I do (or at least moderately). I find skate skiing much more natural than classic skiing.
Excellent!
I'm a Wisco resident who has only ever done classic cross country skiing (3 times). I ambitiously signed up for the American Birkebeiner (50K) skate ski and have gotten zero practice in due to no snow. Hoping we get dumped on so I can learn before race day!
Thank you! I will definitely use it on my next training session.
I am no instructor, but when people ask, I do the 3-1 stuff. Now I know I wasn't leading them astray!!
Thanks Bro! :)
Awesome video for beginners, thanks🌝
Awesome video. I hope you'll do more!
Great Video Greg!!
Another good video. Yet most REI really don't carry XC gear unless your in CO, MN or WI. Order my gear from a XC shop instead.
Nice guide for absolute beginners. Greg, can you move by one-step-style? I.e. pull on every step?
Do you have any close up on skate skis? I'm trying to learn the difference between skate skis and classic are the bindings different?
Please look at our other video about XC gear here for more information about the difference between classic and skate skis: ruclips.net/video/3rHuEqZgUMc/видео.html. The bindings are only very slightly different and this has more to so with the rubber number at the front of the binding (classic bindings have a slightly softer bumper). For many bindings, this bumper can be changed by a ski shop if needed.
Hi Greg, My height is 167cm, which ski suites best for skating. I have 180 cm which I think is bigger than I need, TIA.
Your skis for skating should be between your height to 10 cm taller. My instructior told me, that the longer the skis, the less effort. But yes, 180 cm is far to big for you, I would recomend around 175 cm for you. Also try to ask some other people to get more informations and then decide
Where was this filmed?
This was filmed at Devils Thumb Ranch in Tabernash, CO.
Like it!
@@greg_rhodes great work... taking my daughter out today...this was great for us to watch before heading to the trail!!!
I don't like the way you pick up your power side. You're prematurely ending your glide. It should be more of a snap of the power side, not a lifting of the ski.
