The Following methods, exercises and progressions are used by the best racers to tune their skills. They are much easier to do on FloSkis. Mastering these techniques will move you to advanced skiing in a short while using FloSkis.

Exercise 1 Railroad track pure carved turns at slow speed. Using only gravity (pure carving) and not friction (skidding or sliding) to control your speed and direction. (Study the working model simulation video below:

Start on green runs until you can make the following "Railroad Track" turns then move to groomed blue runs:

1. Keep the skis at least 8 to ten inches apart at all times.

2. Get forward and put pressure on the tips by bending your knees. Move your stomach out and forward, not in. Stand up and do not bend over at the waist on green runs. Your knees should be bent enough forward so you can not see your ski boots.

3. Going straight down the fall line. Ski with equal weight on  both skis.

4. Radically roll over both skis high on there edges.

5. Pressure the big toe of the inside ski and simultaneously the little toe of outside ski and pressure the top of the ski boots forward to regulate the radius of turn. The amount of pressure to the top of each boot and the amount you roll over the edges will determine the radius of the turn.

Notes:

1. You should roll up (squish) your toes to be sure to eliminate play in your boot that can cause one ski to turn at a different rate than other ski. This also allows you to feel the big toe and little toe pressure.

2. During the turn you will increase the roll over angle to insure the skis do not skid or slip sideways at the tails as the turn progresses and "g" forces increase. Be sure that both skis are wide apart throughout the  entire turn. Do not  let the inside ski get light and lose and come close to the outside ski as common in older ski methods.  No more keeping skis tight together!

3. The object is to move to increasingly steeper slopes and or faster speeds without the slightest skid. (NO SKIDDING)

Exercise 2 With the above technique mastered you will then need to practice the below exercise to develop the skills and techniques to make pure carved turns at higher speed and steeper terrain.

On green runs learn to skate and glide as follows,

1. From straight down the fall line, skate off onto the right ski's outside edge by pointing or steering the right ski to the one to two o' clock position, by pushing off from the left ski inside edge from the eight to seven o' clock position.

2. Glide on that right ski only,  for at least 2 seconds, without putting down the left ski. A carved turn to the right is the objective. (Not easy at first)

3. Skate off on to the left ski outside edge, pointing or steering the left ski to the 10 or 11 o clock position, by pushing off the right ski inside edge from the four or five o clock position. Glide on the left ski for at least two seconds or preferably more, without putting down the right ski. A carved turn to left should be the objective

4.  Then practice to carve up hill on each ski during the glide phase to slow down without putting down the other ski or skidding.

5. Keep practicing this until you can turn easily and slow down by turning up hill on just one outside ski's outside edge at a time without skidding.

6. Use the above skate action to link turns. At first starting in the fall line  and then progress to link one shallow traverse to another shallow traverse skiing through the fall line. Remember, no skidding!
