What is the waist width on the skis?

Flexing deeply doesnt hinder tipping... it enables it.
I can identify several non-PMTS movement patterns in mountainblum's skiing, but which one represents his SMIM I wouldnt want to guess. Max_501 is commenting, and I defer to his greater PMTS knowledge.mardale wrote:DougD wrote:mardale wrote:The deep flexing on that shallow run, while good flexing practice, seems to interfere with the tipping and fore/aft.

I think so, indeed, when complemented by a strong pullback, strong enough to allow dorsiflexion, which I don't see here... virtually all new turns start without dorsiflexion from what I see...
So what would be the SMIM? Stronger pull back?

A flexible skier can flex the inside leg past 90 degrees.
Pulling the foot back requires contraction at the hip (pulling the knee and thigh rearward), hamstrings (bending the knee), and shin (pulling the shin toward the top of the foot).
