At this point, I'm sure those who participated in this thread will be able to see that a pivot is about to happen. Kasper had a big break out season this year by learning to get more aggressive and straighten his line. Part of that line change of course involved having to do more pivoting. Watch the following run, in which he employs a ton of pivots, and uses anticipation to do so.
This is Rick, who says he's a world class coach. It's funny when the only person in the world that actually calls him a world class coach, is him?
I know Kasper's coach personally , I used to coach Kasper's coach. They never work on pivoting, and they never try to pivot. They try to carve above and through the arc. When they pivot, it's by mistake, it's because Kasper's timing is off and he released too early. These guys on Epic who listen to Rick are stuck, because they will stay bozos forever.
No one challenges Rick over there, I don't know why; none of his information make sense: don't they have the knowledge or the guts. Helluvaskier used to, but he got booted. We know that Ted Ligety answered Epic's rants and said that he never tires to pivot. Blardone is trying to stop pivoting. Now Rick is picking on Kasper, probably because he thinks no one knows about his skiing. I don't understand why the Epic coaches have to send out, not only the wrong message, but the opposite movements that the actual racers are trying to make. Are they trying to make everyone ski as badly as they already do?
