- Miku Kuriyama has to be one of the happiest skiers I have ever met. She also happens to be one of the best female technical skiers in the world. Any type of turn doesn’t matter she can rip it up…. and FAST. I spent one afternoon skiing with her at Togakushi Ski resort in Japan. it was a lot of fun.

Stunning skiing! I love the camera from the side, It captures the transitions' timing of the release and the power she gets from the skis
I had to ski in a massive power slide Side slip to get that one and try not to get in her way. Whilst still getting close for a good shot! I agree I like this side angle for seeing transitions
@@Bigpictureskiing I was wondering how you were keeping up while getting such a good shot. Excellent video, Tom!
That, friends, was FUN to watch!
Wow! Thanks for this! I’ve been following her instagram for awhile. Very inspirational. Love seeing the two of you together at the end.
She was getting some incredible edge angles.
Totally agree, we had some wonderful runs together at Interski last spring!!!
Wow... great style indeed.. what is impressing is that she has perfect alignment/geometry and yet has her distinct recognizable style, these things normally don't go together...
I like Fischer skis too
MK is positive "crazy" :), i love her you tube chanel. She was in Japan Team on the Levi Inter Ski.
I like the content she has on yt, sometimes difficult to follow without translation though. The same for other japanese or korean skiers.
That snow looks perfect for carving! Where is it?
It’s near Hakuba at a place called Togakushi
@@Bigpictureskiing thanks
This was awesome to watch. She is amazing. I want to ski like her.
Tom if you are ever back at DV, I will definitely interrupt your skiing to say hi and thank you.
Until then, thank you for your content, approach to instruction and skiing demos.
Love it all. 🤘⛷️🤘
Thanks Shane. Please do come and say Gday. I’ll be back there for sure! 👍
The spray from her turns comes right from the widest part of the skis sidecut-textbook!
☀️ P r o m o S M
she dumps her body from uphill edget ski to insaide of turn rocking forwart unloading skis skidding not steering she dont recenters upper body to flat skis and direct laine shes on over edged outsaide ski dragging behainde
Seems to be working pretty well if you ask me.
@@Bigpictureskiing if you are steve wonder
No idea what point you are trying to make here.
Hello, Tom! Thank you for the wonderful time and video shoot with you! We look forward to skiing together again! I wish you and everyone who watches your RUclips a happy skiing life❤ Miku
Thanks Miku. Look forward to skiing with you again too
Her skiing looks so relaxed and fluid, yet it is precise and powerful. That is pure talent.
Couldn't agree more!
Tom Gellie’s videos are the best! Tom has helped me to improve my skiing skills more than any other instructor videos, especially his recent “Hand Dragging” drills.
Thank You, Tom Gellie!!!
Thanks for the kind words Jason
The best skier/surfer is the one having the most fun! A well-worn saying but true.
Oh what a feeling😊
if i skied in japan i would be happy too
Really strong outside progressive ski pressure, must have strong legs. Nice to watch...
Thanks Tom,I've been watching her on Head Japan, all Japanese, just like her style. 😊
Same here!
I doubt she was born that happy, no skis yet ( I hope!)
In the perfectly groomed, constant slope GS hill it is relatively easy to look good, but I am pretty sure that in a competition she would not rotate her upper body into the travel direction between every turn, she would instead be looking more downhill, turning her hips and not her entire upper body?
OTOH, my competitive skiing here in Norway was 50 years ago, so the gear have changed a lot! 😂
Biggest secret in the ski world... the Japenese women tech skiers absolutely rip!
They are so impressive to watch
Awesome. Great vid!
Glad you enjoyed it
She turns the ski well. Its also very easy to make a 15 meter turning radius ski come around so gracefully.
Miku wa totemo genki desu!
Little rocket
Nice!! enjoy!
Ha! Did you have to pay her not to overtake you at the end Tom? I love the way she drives through the bottom of the turn with an extra push forward of the head, like she is swooping even further, even though the turn is almost complete. Her joy is infectious.
She is a ripper!
We know you are into biomechanics Tom.
Any thoughts on a skiers height, power, resultant COM and outcomes. She is fantastic, and I'd suggest being shorter with power, and obviously touch too, is advantageous?
Yes it does make it advantageous for her quick transitions. But you can tell she has trained a lot too
Japanese have crazy good proprioception due to the activities they do at school, martial arts from a very young age help a lot..
Wow Miku ski's the with super fast transitions!
I know!! Really fast
Forget about happy, she is a hell of a skier.
Sure is. But it really stood out how happy she is too and not that serious. She is a great influence on people around her and you cant help but smile and enjoy your skiing with her.
Did you meet Miku by chance? What a coincidence!
Yes totally by chance we were skiing the same place on the same day!
@@Bigpictureskiing In Asia, including Japan, there is an expression 縁(en, some invisible string between people from a previous life), and it sounds like your strings have connected. :)
too turn-y
