Accomplished Western US U12 racer has an issue in SuperG.
Ski tips get loose and less controllable Even when forward pressuring outside ski etc. Seems to happen more with right ski than left but maybe that’s psychological. What is causing this lack of control? Not happening in GS or SL. SG skis same brand as others, but 10cm longer than the GS. (It’s a 180 SG junior ski) Not sure if we should move binding mount forward or something else. Coach hasn’t been able to identify a solution. Ran GS ski in last race just to experiment. Didn’t have the issue, seemed to sacrifice a lot in speed and time. Thoughts of things to try out? Body positions generally good, could always drive hips forward more, but not completely in the backseat.
