There are literally thousands of frames and explanations in this book. Although there are Six Essentials, which I point out in the book, they are broken down into their smallest components; ultimately all six Essentials combine to create Expert Skiing movements.

Harald wrote:Very good Max, here is how I fit them into the categories:
Flex/Extend
Extend Outside Leg
Retract (Flex) Inside Leg
Counter Actiing Movements
Strong Inside Hand/Arm (oops thats seven)
Tipping
Foot pullback, this fits into:
Fore/aft balance
So you have identified four out of the five major Essentials. There is one more major Essential. Does anyone feel that there should be another Essential, not mentioned here?

Broken down into it's pieces, elite skiing just isn't that difficult to understand, nor is it beyond the reach of the average human. If you just focus on the six Essentials, pretty much anybody who is dedicated and focused enough to do the work can develop themselves into the best skier they can be. No other system approaches skiing in this way, which is why no other system is as successful.
