I think we have to get a few definitions correct. Flexing means bending, so until my heel is up against my butt, I can always flex more, Yes, I can flex more from the low float position, I'm in. Maybe it's only a few degrees, but the point is I'm doing the opposite of extending. I do the opposite of what BB and fastman do. I increase flexing;
they extend.
I don't ski like BB or fastman, thank goodness.
And I am not simultaneous extending, "gee wis" I didn't even know there was such a thing, thanks TDK. Is that an Epic Technique? The amazing things we learn on this forum. Shakespeare would say "Sarcasm becomes thee."
sarcasm |ˈsärˌkazəm|
noun
the use of irony to mock or convey contempt : his voice, hardened by sarcasm, could not hide his resentment
I wouldn't want anyone to misunderstand me? That's also sarcasm.
We also have to define extending for the 100 time. It means getting the out side leg or letting the leg get long by letting (the forces at the release) move the body away from the ski, not push the body by extension of the leg.. And we don't move the ski away from the body, BTW. Just because you see extending into the top of the turn, in my skiing, doesn't mean I'm doing it. It only means you are looking at it with PSIA glasses or you have been in the "PSIA continuum" too long, once you have been "assimilated" for more than a year, it's almost impossible to correct your vision.
continuum:
a continuous sequence in which adjacent elements are not perceptibly different from each other, although the extremes are quite distinct : at the fast end of the fast-slow continuum.
• (usu. be assimilated) absorb and integrate (people, ideas, or culture) into a wider society or culture :
As in Jay's (skisyn) drawing, if your CG is moving closer to the inside leg/ski, which it is in the second frame and rest of the frames of my montage, my leg has to be flexing by definition. If it were extending, my body would be moving away from the inside ski, which it is clearly not.
