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.

“My mom made breakfast,” says Alex Ferreira we greet him at his front door in Aspen. For the first X Games Session of the winter season, we headed to Aspen, Colorado to meet up with X Games Aspen 2019 Ski SuperPipe gold medalist Alex Ferreira. An Aspen local, Ferreira is well versed on the slopes, but his training regiment isn’t all skiing. There’s obstacle courses, lessons in strength training and more. Join X Games host Jack Mitrani for a typical training day with X Games upstart Alex Ferreira.
