We’ve all heard this tip yelled across the mountain. “BEND THE KNEES!” While this common ski tip may sound simple, there's more to it than meets the eye. Do this tip correctly, you’re setting yourself up for advanced carving turns. Do this tip wrong, and you’ll struggle to find the right balance, essential for dynamic movements. Tom Waddington is a BASI level 4 examiner and racing coach. We asked him to come meet us in Sölden, Austria to break down this tip, so that next time you hear those 3 worlds, you know exactly what it means and how to do it. To help understand this topic we’ve used some clear good vs bad examples and real-time Carv pressure data to emphasise the important link between mobility at your skiing joints and foot pressure in your boot. Please leave a comment if you have any questions about this topic, or a future content request! ⛷️⛷️⛷️ Did you enjoy seeing Carv’s pressure data?

Tom Gellie has devoted season after season to perfect his carving turns. It's safe to say that he's one of the best in the business when it comes to having an in-depth understanding of ski technique. In this skiing lesson, Tom shares some great advice on how you can improve your carving turns, and particularly, how to achieve earlier edge engagement. In the words of Tom, early edge engagement will make a skier feel: - "a smoother transition through the turn" - "more stable at high speed" - "like the ski is doing a lot more of the work" - "able to ski much steeper slopes faster" Carving turns are addictive, fast, fun, and we always want more. So get out there and give it a go, and let us know how you get on. If you found these tips useful, or if you have a tip of own for how to ski with early edge engagement, please share it with us in the comments!
