Piggyslayer, not everyone prays at the same altar, there are many ways to ski well, you subscribe to this, they subscribe to that, let them be.
I am not forcing anybody to change how they ski. In fact, many of my friends (some very good skiers) I ski with, have no clue about PMTS or tipping, and I have restricted my attempts at their ?education? to a conversation over pizza (no pun intended) after skiing. They are happy with their skiing and I am happy for them.
Would their skiing improve if they focus on tipping and efficient release? Sure!
Are they good skiers without this knowledge? I just said there are.
My feelings are different, however, if you are talking about ski instructors. People come (at least sometimes) to ski instructors to learn and to improve.
PMTS teaching has coined the concept of Single Most Important Movement. The idea is to focus on the most important single aspect which will make the biggest difference in someone?s skiing.
The point is that for 97% this is not rotation, in fact this is probably the Single Least Important Movement for 97% of instructed skiers.
Ott, it is unfair and below the belt for you to use word ?altar? and "pray" as if implying (like many others did on this forum) that PTMS is a cult or religion of sorts and HH is the high priest. I you want to talk science, please do. Do you want to resume the kinesiology discussions again?
Miles, rotary skills, like all skiing skills are good to have, even if you never use them.
You lost you argument after we have seen the 2 videos.
If you have them you WILL use them whether you like it or not.
I know, I still sometimes do
