Reverse Alignment Reeducation.
I did not know how to name the tread, maybe there is a better name for what I am about to write. I hope people will find that interesting.
I have a fore-foot varus (pronation) and a bit pronated heel on my left and right foot. This make me effectively knock kneed and I tend to collapse my knees inwards when flexing.
As I have posted some 5 months ago I had problem with one legged turns on Harb Carvers, I also was far more 2-footed on Carvers that I wanted to be. I found it strange since in my current alignment I had no problem with doing one legged drills on skis (I attributed this to the fact that Harb Carvers have much higher platform and thus maybe more sensitive to alignment issues).
I tried whatever I could and eventually I gave up and started working on my alignment.
I added thin shims under the Harb Carver bindings on the BTE side. This did not help much.
I then added a fatter pieces creating canting of 3 degs and I started turning on one leg! After couple of days of training I changed the shim to smaller ? 2 degs, I am still turning!!!
After couple of days of skating I reduced the correction to 1 deg or less and I am still turning on one leg!
I think I will be able to go back to 0 degs and stay with my original alignment which is all in the footbed.
I believe, many of us knock kneed or bowlegged people need to ?experience? or get a taste on what it is like to be on the other side.
Let me know if you have a comment about this experiment.
