Hi, I am new to PMTS, and in my first post I listed Harald's books and videos I am currently studying.
Since I feel I still have a pretty weak transition, my main focus at the moment is improving the release. Chapter 6 on Free Foot Management in Anyone Can Be an Expert Skier 2 introduces an interesting free foot exercise--release with ball hold. The goal is learning to hold the free foot against the stance foot.
What confuses me is that current skies are wider than those popular 20 years ago. I fear that performing that exercise my skis would touch. I have a pair of Head Supershape i.Magnum, with a 131 / 72 / 110 sidecut.
The exercise is demonstrated here, and the demonstrator uses modern skies--they seem Head Supershape i.Speed, which are thinner than the i.Magnum, but still wider than older skies. So it seems feasible...
Anyhow, the basic question is: can you still keep the two foots so close with today's skis, so that the inside ankle rivets of the boots touch together?
Thanks for clearing this up to me!
