Here's another hint: in my MA in the other section of the forum, Harald suggests putting 3-4mm of shims under the toe pieces of my bindings. We didn't have the capability of doing that, but Harald was on the right track. There should definitely be huge bonus points for anyone guessing what we found. I don't think we should maintain this suspense for very long, but we want to give people a chance to think through the alignment problems and solutions as you are doing.

kirtland wrote:Also, did you address slicing the ski through the turn? I ask because in Idahorob's earlier videos it looked like he was more passive and riding the outside ski until the turn was finished, in this video he is slicing through the turns more and actively finishing the turns more. Or did this come about as a result of alignment, or doing other drills for fore and aft balance.
MonsterMan wrote:Could the left knee go another half degree?
The 3 degree shims helped but weren't enough to correct the knees falling into the turn. So, Rob needs a greater degree of canting offered by the shims or there is something going on with the footbeds (or a combination of the two).

But if I was in Rob's shoes, I would have certain expectations/goals that I would measure the success of the time and money spent.
meput wrote:Day 2 video shows real improvement in alignment. The A frame (knock-kneed) is significantly reduced. I suspect MonsterMan's observation may reflect the video orientation because both knees look like they may still be in.
meput wrote:Day 2 video shows Rob still in the aft position. I need to defer to those with much more knowledge than myself, but I think this is a limiting aspect to Rob's skiing.
