And more about drilling holes, I pay attention not to destroy the structure where it would take more pressures. And also the insole is pinned to get ventilation as well.

Did you have a bad experience Erik???

You can really see the flexion that occurs as they move through transition.

That's HH and Diana. I was the camera guy.
carver_hk wrote:Thanks for the feedback. I watched the linked video. Yes, the flexing is obvious. Mine is not obvious. I remember somewhere in the book said feeling could be deceptive. I did remember I extended my leg upon turn initiation and if I do too much it made me feel I was doing a hockey stop. Maybe the flexing is just not enough? or its not obvious because of the terrain? Anyway I ll try to exaggerate the movement on my next update.

Yes, I got this feeling. I didn't mean actively extend. I can understand that when the skis is tipped and pressured it will turn on its own like what happen in stationary TFR. I guess this single understanding have rewarded me the recent improvement. Regarding the boot touch I ll see if its safe enough to do the drill in the fridge on my next practice. It is unfortunate that the fridge have become a freestyle heaven now, with boxes and kicker on both sides. There are only like two skis length width corridor down the slope.geoffda wrote:You should never have to force it or think about it. Rather, as you move through neutral and start tipping, your skis will start moving away from you as your body continues on a straighter path down the hill and into the new turn. This is the automagic part--you will extend because your skis are taking your legs with them. The early part of the high C is not about pressure, it is about keeping your skis in contact with the snow and establishing the arc. You don't have to actively extend; your stance leg just gets drawn out. Does that make sense?
Got it, Thanks!h.harb wrote:If you have that idea in mind your skiing will be rewarded. You can't achieve this if you however, if you extend off your uphill leg, push your Cg into the arc or down the hill toward the falline.
