h.harb wrote:The steps to getting bigger angles more control on steeps:
1. A rounder turn, more curve in the turn, more finish across the falline.
2. This requires more tipping and inside leg flexing.
3. This will require more leg flexing at the release.
4. Notice in your short turns the upper body leans in the same direction as the ski angles, this should be reversed, for CB.
So there are some movements to work on. All are in the Essentials of skiing. Notice the word "more" is in almost every sentence in the list???
A good exercise "also" would be the power release, ("Essentials of Skiing") as your feet are too much glued together. I as many do, ski with my feet close however they are not glued together, that's different.
h.harb wrote:I don't see a big classic tail push. However, there is an extended period of time when the skis are flat and they change directions while flat. The tails of the skis do move uphill before the new turn comes to an edge angle. The new turn high C is without ski tipping or engagement before the skis get on to an angle at the falline. There is some extension of the upper body and lifting of the outside arm during the transition, which contributes to the delay in ankle/boot layover.

In freeskiing, they are barely noticeable by all skies. When you compare the edge change in transition from skier to skier, that is where most of the movements that are lacking show up.
