Inside leg

[JKinBC-NC]

LOL. Several years ago, I was recommended ...

Do you have video of yourself following these instructions too well?

Not a challenge or not being all 'who are you?', but just curious about your background JKinBC... helps with context is all. Thx.

Yes, the inside ski is being used as an outrigger.

So I'm not an instructor, and may not be clear on terms... are you claiming that any weight on the inside ski means "outrigger"? (RE the comment about picking up the inside ski to see if you're balanced)

He seems to be using the term pejoratively so that would imply that 100/0 ski to ski weight distribution is the goal. I don't know who espouses that, so I'm with you...don't understand.

There is no video of me skiing, no proof that I'm not the best carver ever, no horribly embarrassing video of me skiing bumps, no video of me tomahawking down the hill. Hey if it's not on video, it never happened...now I'll have to find another way to explain all those broken bones and shoulder injuries.

P.S. IMHO you need enough weight on the inside ski to decamber it to match the curve of the outside ski (usually the weight of the leg is more than enough).

Yeah those shoulder injuries come back to roost.

Got a couple of reports on this thread. We are locking it to have the moderators take a look.
