   please don’t teach anymore or do any demos until you learn how to ski. Some simple faults with your demo include.
   1- initiating the turn with your upper body.
   2- Lifting the inside ski to bring it parallel.
   You obviously haven’t learnt to use your inside leg properly. It should be rotated until parallel with your outside ski, not lifted into alignment.
   There’s much more wrong with with this, but I hope you get the picture.

   Good on you making videos but do the ski community a favor and don;t charge and single dollar for your ski instruction. Stick to the park dude..

   This is exactly the stage I’m at. I’m actually a bit closer to full parallel turns. The only time I do the stem christi turns now is when I’m approaching a steep section where I need to control my speed.

   Hey,
   i am a beginner going on a school ski trip in a few weeks, so i am excited but want to be good so slightly nervous
   Your clips have really helped me and i now feel more confident going on the slopes- with a bit more knowledge.

   Btw, are are people having a go? You are just trying to help people like myself learn the basics.
   I can not see any problem with that!?

   Thanks again!

    Shutup all the haters! It’s better than most of you fuckers could do, if not. Why don’t you make your own video instead of sending someone downgrading comments about their video. That guy tried fucking hard probably making this video, he doesn’t need you slagging him off. Cunts
