Way too much made over non parallel shins in general. That was the obsession like 10 years ago. Are Mikaela's shins always paralllel? No. Does it matter?
Close enough.
We're talking recreational skiers here, and large a frames not subtle.
Hirscher is on the flats here, note the picture title. He's doing a turn in a tuck by rolling the outside ski on edge. That's all. There's not much relation to anything else.
I mean it's like talking about an F-16 from a photo of taxiing on the tarmac.

Well of course one can contort themselves in all sorts of ridiculous positions. That's not what we're talking about. It's basically a triangle. if you shorten the inside, it lowers the hypoteneuse- the outside leg. Since the ski is attached to the boot, it increases edge angle. You could fight it by actively rolling your ankle to flatten the outside ski somewhat, but...why?I disagree. Imo when you are edging due to inside leg flexion it means there is too much weight on the inside ski. If your weight is on the outside ski however and you shorten the inside leg, but do not tip the outside leg all you will do is lift the inside leg from the ground...
Seriously?How do we explain the picture I added?
I see an a-frame, yet the inside leg is bent more than 90 degrees. If I look at JF however, he can ski with much bigger edge angle than Hirscher is showcasing in this picture, yet JF his inside leg never bends as much as Hirscher is showing here. How come?
