Hello!
This is my first post on the forum. Sorry for just few turns of one type, hope it can be used for MA. I can record drills on request if needed. I do spent time on drills, just don't have footage of them.
I've been practicing MPTS for two seasons guided mostly by books and videos.
First season I spent mostly on practicing one footed skiing, balance, brushed turns.
Few month ago I ordered Essentials of Skiing book and now more insterested in carving turns (I read Carving medness thread but since I plan to try some racing next season now I'm trying to learn how to carve).
Personally, I see next problems with these turns: less tipping of free foot then stance foot, inconsistent pull back (I feel that pulling back in low position with locked edges is harder just after transition than closer to the end of the turn) but what bothers me most is wide stance. While I have super narrow (may be too narrow) stance in brushed turns, in carving the stance is wide. I really try to keep feet narrower but once I start bending inside leg in the knee, ski goes away from stance ski by shorter radius, not sure if this is correct mechanics. Apart from that it looks like inside leg goes to much forward even when try to pull it back.
It also worth to note that this type of my turns is evolution of power-release progression where this wide stance and inside leg forward effects where more dramatic and what I really do is trying to convert power-release to skiing. To be honest, I'm not sure I understand the difference between power-release performed by HeluvaSkier and Diana where they have not so wide stance as in Essentials and where they have strong pull back. Without title "Power Release" I would not notice it is not real skiing. Did I miss something about that, what is the difference?
Also, I'm not sure if I side-load inside ski correctly, seems like it brushes in the beginning of the turn. Finally, there is no solid LTE release first, I think I have it better in brushed turns but with carving I have not worked on this yet.
While the season is almost over in Ukraine I still have few week-ends in this season to improve before I go to Hintertux 2-nd camp, just want to fix everything I can on my own to progress better at camp.
Appreciate your comments.
