Professional ski coach and instructor Reilly McGlashan wants to make it clear not to take not to take this video too seriously and the take away message is just make sure you choose movements that help you increase your “FUN” factor. No one should try skiing like Hirscher if it isn’t “FUN” or “obtainable” for you on a personal level. With that said here are the 6 ski technique that one of the most dominant skiers in the history of the sport seems to ignore while freeskiing:

-Hips over feet

-Tips in the air

-Off the snow in transition

-Balancing on the inside ski

-Hands behind your back

-Inside hand touching the snow
