IASI Level 4 Project 2018 Andy Bennett
This video is a project for my Level 4 as a member of IASI (Irish Association Of Ski Instructors) It's about skiing bumps and variable terrain and the techniques and tactics that work for me personally within my own skiing.
It was filmed over 3 days in mid to late April 2018 and I used a 175cm 15.5m radius piste ski for the whole video.
The idea is that it becomes a useful resource for other IASI members coming through the system and might perhaps help them with either their own skiing or teaching/coaching. I also hope it inspires other members to perhaps make video's for their own projects and increase the number if IASI resources.
I hope the video doesn't come across as me preaching tha...

    What a phenomenal, concise and thorough skiing video of which I’ve seen hundreds. Hats off to you! I will be using all of these training, drills, assets and advice. Frankly, I’m not sure if I’ll need anything else. A BIG, BIG THANK YOU!

    Min 5:30... ummm.. you are not doing that drill right. You're not jumping around a corner, you are supposed to hop across the bottom of the turn. Forward and down, not back and up... keep practicing. The toe up and down drill is called swedish carving or swedish turns. Don't reinvent the ski wheel, just watch the swedes.

      @@cunningweasel why is it bad. Hmm.. Did you lean back to get the up motion? Yep... What happens when you lean back down a mogul chute? You die. I guarantee you watched someone else doing both these drills as they are old as time. The real trick is that you are hopping from the outside ski to outside ski over the bump. Watch a real mogul pro do that drill from over head. You'll see what i am talking about. Then do the same for yourself. The difference is obvious.

  • @tainicon4639

    I can tell from your feet position you are a mogul skier haha Ideally though your feet should be easily 2-3 times the distance apart, assuming you want to carve. Carving can not properly happen with feet together like that, but hop turns and moguls do haha

    • @cunningweasel
      @cunningweasel Год назад

      Why would I want to carve? This is a video about moguls. If you tried to ski moguls with the feet 2 to 3 times wider not only would it be really hard physically, incredibly inefficient and slow, you would also look like a real douche!

    Sorry, I don't have time to reply to all comments. Remember these are techniques that work for me. In my opinion there's no right or wrong way just ways that work on an individual level. Could I have softer boots? Yep definitely. Could I be more forward? Yep definitely. Do I need to be in the air? Nope but it's FUN! Is pivoting being defensive? Probably but so what. What if your tired or simply can't be bothered dealing with a deep rut line? Could I have more absorption and a stronger core? 100% yes. The list could go on but the point is for those saying "you need to do this or more of that". How do you know? You haven't met me and don't know what my goals are. The things you are saying are what you personally would like to see from a pre conceived image in your head. You should think about that and maybe it will improve your teaching.

    This is a pivot to skid . Zipper line is not a turn because you do not change direction of travel. Pivot to skid is a defensing way of skiing.Bring your turns into the bumps.

  • @robinwhitelaw2986
    @robinwhitelaw2986 2 года назад

    Some good stuff ... excellent progression. There's a technique I believe u r using, which I refer to as a "soft outside ankle" that helps "smear" the outside ski for speed control that I hope u will talk about at some point. So many skiers try to ski bumps with stiff ankles, which holds them back. Your thoughts about what you feel in your feet and ankles would be great.

    @phillyskidog1 3 года назад

    Drive your tips more on the back side and stop the "hopping" or "skipping", much easier to link your turns and keep your edges on the snow where you need them while skiing moguls. Also keep your core more tight, you're going to have a very sore back bobbing at the waist like that.

    I very much enjoyed watching this video. Love the progressions. I think Andy exhibits a high degree of flexibility, much more than the general population. I wonder if others have given him this feedback. The rotational flexibility of his lower spine is incredible. It hurts watching him do it. I think that spinal flexibility is a blessing; he can accomplish what most of us cannot. At the same time, maybe it’s a crutch that maybe is preventing the development of a carved initiation of a short turn (in my opinion). From the side-view video (great videography), I think Andy can benefit from a bit softer boot, to achieve more ankle flex. Either that or the gastroc’s need to be stretched and lengthened. But, seeing his overall flexibility, I doubt that very much. Great job. Would like to see more.
