You've got to have the book in order to be able to refer to the same thing.
What exersise? I have the book...

Pages 62-65. In your video you demonstrate the drill but with more ski redirection. Try it at a slower speed and try not to change ski direction at all.

If you want to be going the same direction you need to have your skis flat to the snow. You need to be perpendicular to the snow. This is a normal drill in race coaching. We place ski poles cross the track where we want our kids to get airborn.

The idea is to change edges in the air without any redirection (steering) of the skis.

Max_501 wrote:The video is just one example of the jump. At race camp we did it at different speeds. What I'm saying is that when I do it for practice I try to go very slow and have ZERO redirection of the skis when I'm in the air. I find this to be quite challenging as it requires superb counter balancing skills upon landing upside down. As you increase speed this drill gets MUCH easier.
