Your demo request....

[Josh Matta]

Can you sideslip on one foot? Can you carve on one foot?

Sideslip is done by managing fore/aft balance and flattening the ski, right?

Seems to me that a brushed carve is somewhere between these two, and therefore must be possible by blending the moves?

There are some skis that are easier to carve and others that are easier to sideslip. Thinking wider skis, high stiffness, with minimal sidecut for sideslip, and narrow skis with softer flex (slalom) for carving. So it seems likely that there will be some skis that you could "brushed carve" more easily on one foot vs. carve on one foot.

yeah carving on one foot is WAY easier than brushed carving on one foot, steering on one foot is the hardest if not impossible.

When your on snow you should go try to side slip on foot with out the other foot or poles touching....

I'm surprised your MA skills aren't better, Josh. What part about the tail of the ski being displaced more than the tip doesn't equal brushed/skidded turns to you?

the tail is being displace before the ski hooks up. I never said it wasnt.

May I recommend we stay on target of this thread and not discuss the one ski carve/brushed point of contact information again here.

 

[Josh Matta]

^^^^ I like that.

^^^^ I like that.

What? It is HALF of your initial post as the OP, then you light the flames and now you want to get back to the original post, half of which, (once again) is what you now don't want to talk about? That makes zero sense.

I second the diverging skis to splat demo. Well, you get the idea.

As a less experienced instructor, and looking at the video as a layskier, I’d say there’s a lot of skidding there and not close to a pure carve. But, I suppose there’s a scale, right? Where on the scale is @Josh Matta referring to. I don’t even know how to quantify the scale except, it seems to me, one end is a pure carve, the other is a pivot slip?

I did try more skidded turns when the other thread was up. Caught my outside edge and went tumbling. Did it during a clinic. I always find a way to prove to others how poor a skier I am. Can always count on Pugski Ski School for ideas on helping that along

Re that other target, Wedge Christie please.

Nice video Doby. I think I could do the right ski, probably not the left; I can’t even master bate if I have to go to my left.
