I finally got some video today. This is about a 30 second vid.
Me: Age 55, about 4-5 years obsessed with PMTS, No camps but 1 full day private with Rich Messer. Aligned and fitted by Chris at HSS, ski about 120-130 days per year, Skis in the vid are the Jam's
Goal, to make slow, controlled turns on a relatively flat green trail, using a super phantom
Using the guide Max suggested for self MA, here is my own analysis of what I see, and please correct me where I'm wrong and all feedback welcome.
My own analysis:
Is the stance width appropriate for the size of the skier?
A: Yes I believe it is
Does the release start by flexing the outside leg?
A: Yes, I believe it does
Does LTE tipping lead engagement to the new turn?
A: Yes but more so when turning to the right than when turning to the left. I feel that the timing of my attempted use of the super phantom is occurring just slightly 'late' on some turns. And when turning left, my use of the SP is relatively weak IMO
Are the feet pulled back at transition?
A: Yes I believe they are close to where they should be for generally flat terrain
Is the inside foot held back throughout the turn?
A: Probably could be better, but does the pitch of the slope impact how much foot pullback should be used?
Is there enough CB and CA and is the timing right?
A: This is tough one, I say yes, With the generally flat pitch I felt like i was using close to the right amount of CA and CB
Is the pelvis included in the CB/CA movement?
A: I am not qualified to offer feedback on this, HELP!
Strong inside arm?
A: No, and hand while hand position is not awful it is inconsistent and can be improved.
Is the inside leg flexed as the turn progresses?
A: Yes I believe it is flexed appropriately for the pitch of the trail.
Does the outside leg extend naturally (no pushing) as the turn progresses?
A: I believe it does
Does LTE tipping of the inside foot continue throughout the turn?
A: I feel that my tipping needs work. It is improving but I do think I tend to reach a point and 'lock' the tipping, perhaps not with each turn but it does occur
Is the skier balanced over the outside ski?
A: Yes I feel I am
Is there a pole touch and how is the movement and timing?
A: The pole touching/plants can be improved. Not awful but room for improvement is present.
