Jump on Skis With Style With This Simple Change
What you will Learn in this Tutorial
This video provides tips and tricks for skiers to add style to their jumping tricks by incorporating carved takeoffs and grabs. Jens demonstrates how to execute carved straight airs, and then progresses to more advanced techniques such as carving at sharper angles and performing carved 180s, 270s and 360s. The importance of body positioning, head placement, and grabbing techniques are emphasized throughout the video. Jens also advises starting with small jumps before attempting larger ones and recommends practicing on a ski slope to perfect the carving technique. While a wobble or slight cork is encouraged to add style, excessive spinning or wobbling should be avoided. The video concludes by suggesting viewers attend ski camps for more in-depth instruction and encourages further exploration of different grab techniques.
