Flexing the ankle is dorsiflexion and pulling the foot back is the hamstring based movement.

However the rest of the time when there is no obvious lift is present there is dorsi-flexion happening,. I know this because the tail does of the ski stays level, lift until after tradition.
Keep your body over your skis as you start moving with them. Maintain slightly flexed ankles and knees to remain centered on your skis. Feel your shins in contact with the front of the boot, but avoid leaning on the front of the boot for support.
Keep in mind that HH has said many times that readers of the ACBAES books should read carefully to pick up the details.

Max_501 wrote:Based on a couple of questions I've had I think there may be some confusion about the the history of flexing the ankle (dorsiflexion) in PMTS. I haven't been studying PMTS long enough to know when Harald first started teaching it, but the movement of flexing the ankle (dorsiflexion) was part of the program before I started my PMTS journey.
Its covered early in the PMTS progression in ACBAES Book 1. On page 54 Harald says:Keep your body over your skis as you start moving with them. Maintain slightly flexed ankles and knees to remain centered on your skis. Feel your shins in contact with the front of the boot, but avoid leaning on the front of the boot for support.
Here's something I wrote long ago:Keep in mind that HH has said many times that readers of the ACBAES books should read carefully to pick up the details.

If you follow HH's instruction (red text) when making a phantom move there's a chance the tip will lift first, even in relatively low energy turns. In higher energy turns with a big flex the tip is more likely to lift. The problem is that some students still weren't dorsiflexing. Luckily for us, Harald is constantly thinking of new ways to make it easier for his students to master the movements and the instruction to lift the tip first is the outcome of that incredible dedication to his students. The tip lift is a brilliant external cue because if we flex the ankle to lift the tip then we will have enough dorsiflexion as we transition in addition to the other benefits Harald writes about on his blog.

We don't change technique when terrain or conditions change.
