I'm really enjoying these recent telemark technique vids. Thanks, Dostie!
Craig, I’m happy to have discovered your awesome telemark content. Thanks for providing good info that’s very useful as I attempt to get back to making tele turns.
Yo! Freeheelers..(the self proclaimed legendary Chucky Gross here, from Telemarktips.) Listen, Scotty can ski, no doubt. Great interview Craig.
Chucky’ s tips: Look at his hands! This is so critical in the success of strong telemark skiing. The hands are LOW along with forward. I’ve been watching so many on the hill and in telemark videos on RUclips. So many with hands HIGH. So many stabbing their poles with hands HIGH above the shoulders. Poles too long. HORRIBLE!!! It’s ugly, inefficient and will limit your progression. Chucky recommends short poles and no stabbing!!!
Clean up your game! Don’t be lame! With Love, Chucky!
So smooth and elegant! He makes it look so easy, but it is not. Thanks for the important tip about the hands; being fluid and dynamic in movement.
You bet - Madsen
Great vid CD! Nice job editing.
Thanks for this. Get it!
Nice interview Scotty, we need to go skiing soon!
Great video. How much pressure are you putting on your uphill ski? I’ve heard anywhere from 20%~50%…
90% to the rear (between the ears), hopefully that translates to 50/50. It also depends on the specific circumstances - pitch, snow, speed, carving, slarving, etcetera.
I have a question! Are 100mm skis under foot too wide to learn on with double rocker? Are 72mm under foot with flat tail and traditional camber too hard to learn on? If I've been snowboarding for 30 years does it even matter? Is one more versatile that will get me going quicker on a wider variety of terrain?
Thanks!
Answered this on your other comment. Hope that helps. Cheers - Madsen
@@FreeheelLife awesome thanks I'll go find that one hehe
Appreciate the feedback. I ended up finding a killer deal on some 171 Ski Trab Free Rando from 2013 with BD01. 80MM under boot. I think I should be good lol I'll report back
@@FreeheelLife for the life of me I can't find where you answered this question already. Any chance you could re-tag me? Love your channel and respect your insight.
don't sleep on A-Basin :)
Who would right! - Madsen
