That's the right idea but start at the beginning to build a solid release. This still applies:Max_501 wrote:The main issue is that you don't have a release. For drills to build a release I'd start with the Releasing chapter of Expert Skier Book 1 and the Eliminate the Wedge 3 Super Phantom eVideo.
The free PMTS Online Ski Lesson provides a good introduction on what it takes to build a functional release.
Thank you. By the way, I'm skiing slowly here on a green run.
I believe that I can perform the releasing drills that you mentioned correctly. They allow for some sliding
since they are done from stationary start or while slowly moving. I'll continue to work on them of course. Somehow
I cannot get it right during free skiing.
I believe I see the flaw in the release here.
I am not fully committing to releasing off the old stance ski. The ski is not flattening and my hips
do not begin to move across the skis before I transfer balance.
I can see that I transfer balance to the uphill ski on the LTE around frame 535 or 536.
The uphill ski has a sudden slight direction change, due to putting weight
on the LTE, and the skis
no longer look parallel. The down hill ski is now light and I'm trying to tip it to LTE as my hips
move across the skis, but the horizontal separation of the feet is too much.
So I start to pull the downhill ski toward the new stance ski as I'm trying to tip to LTE and CB. The tip is moving
faster than the tail and there is the appearance of a stem entry.
So I should relax/flex the old stance ski such that it begins to flatten and my pelvis begins to move across the skis.
I should pull the free foot in closer as this happens and then transfer balance to LTE before the old stance ski
becomes completely flat. Then I should begin tipping the new free ski to LTE.
In addition to working on having a solid release, maybe I should do some weighted releases; I can do them
on easy green runs. I'll try to get video of my practice.
