So how many faults do you see in this skiing? Let's count the ways...

HighAngles wrote:Yes, don't extend the outside leg early; keep it flexed through transition and tip to the new edges (led by strong inside foot tipping). The early extension must come from him thinking that he needs to create the early pressure at the top of the turn instead of letting it develop naturally through gravity and the forces of the turn.

That's not it. Sometimes he does flex to release but it looks different because of the very aggressive extension that follows.
HighAngles wrote:I'm not seeing it Max. I do not see any flexion whatsoever of his old stance leg at the transition. So what about his transition makes it a flex to release?

Eric gets forward with an early aggressive outside leg extension. Is there an another approach that he could take?
