I am posting this because people who want answers here, should first read the material. Prescribed as MAx501 and others have so often posted. This is a very simplistic subject and has been covered to exhaustion on this forum and in my literature. Max501 and Geoffda are being super patient. I may not be that patient on the Forum when you are told how, what and where to look, and are given the answers numerous times already, and still want to argue your case. And you can't possibly discuss your opinion of your own skiing movements on the forum, when your skiing has not been evaluated by a PMTS instructor.
This is actually ludicrous and a waste of everyone's time. I demonstrate this by the discussion below. It simply unproductive, follow the steps and read, completely and thoroughly. It is clear in this ongoing discussion, this has not been done.

Because this discussion proves without a shadow of a doubt that the inside leg should lead the tipping.
I never wrote: You tip the inside leg, (unless to describe what happens further up the kinetic chain) I write in my books "tip the foot, ski or boot". Therefore you are re-wording my writing and therefore confusing yourself and creating a Epic forum like, waste of time.If a student believes that Harald knows what he is talking about and follows the progression outlined in the books and this forum there shouldn't be any doubt. Tipping to the LTE always leads.

This discussion fully resolves the divergence issue because it implies that there is a flaw in my tipping technique.
No there is a flaw in your reading comprehension technique.The possible flaw in technique was covered in the 2nd post. Unfortunately the information in this thread can't resolve the issue because we don't know what is causing the divergence without video.

But I'm still not fully convinced because I don't know if you truly understand what I was originally asking.
Argumentative, waste of time!!And there is the main reason this thread continues. You are not convinced that a Blue Level PMTS Coach understands how to start a turn from a straight run.

To rephrase my question...does the inside leg still lead the tipping if you have not made the weight transfer to the stance ski.
No, it's not the leg??!! What he hell????Rephrasing the question doesn't change the answer.
sashalex wrote:
To me thats confusing because I don't see how its possible to make a parallel turn without first transferring weight to the stance ski.
IMO you have jumped too far ahead and that is the source of your confusion. In PMTS we learn to make parallel turns with 100% of the weight on the stance ski, inside ski, and any combination of the two.
Max he's not jumping ahead, he's not following directions.Here's an old post I wrote some time ago -

Learning PMTS can be very simple if you follow the progression HH has given us. Book 1, Book 2, then Essentials. No need to over analyze or question the steps that HH has laid out in the books and on this forum because they simply work. Nike has a slogon "Just Do It" and that applies here. Just Do It [PMTS] and you will be on the road to expert skiing.
Nearly every question I can think of has already been asked and answered on this forum. The best way to search the forum is to use Google. Here is an example that you can type into the google search box to find information on counteracting movements here.
