Let me guess. :roll: It might be riding on the edge (no skidding at all) done by you unconsciously... it is easier on the heel side. Tali,you are exactly right :bravo: It was exilarting but so shockingly scary at the same time :alien: my brain couldn't compute what was happening, so I crashed out i...

no chance of a video being posted ..I'll keep on reading ...there are many ways of describing things and I know the ones to pick that help ...

Good! It's also a time which has helped a lot. Unconscious mind did take an action during the summer and now you have it all rearranged in your head! :-) yes the unconscious mind has been at play... I'm now thinking perhaps the 50,45 in the hard boots has paid off in my soft boots... :think: ...las...

To start with I would try stance angles that are quite low by EC or race standards as this is where you body position seems to naturally wants to go, do this even if your toes hang over the edge. Also try riding with the stance angles you already have, but try to get your hips to be much more facin...

The day I have this problem, I'll know i've made it

I have had about 6 positive comments on the few times I have been in hard boots and they were all from young people 20s,one perhaps early 30s, including a couple of females :) oh yes and a rather conservative-type 60 ish skier...impressed by my angle-edge hold(obviously a lucky moment... :silly: ) B...

At long last I put the springs onto my Deeluxe boots...I must admit I went overkill with the drill and kind of scratched the U plate :oops: fortunately it doesn't affect the working in any way :) 2012-12-09 15.52.17-1.jpg I tried on the boots and I can get more forward flex but not enough, so I will...

WOW...I am just green with envy...

one last Summer update...my latest weight training development has again been achieved in the upper body area...where I used to see many ribs sticking out..I was pleasantly surprised to find they have almost disappeared... :) However, from the frozen faces of shock horror that I encounter, it appear...

I couldn't work out why there were two holes and one special screw set ... Any further help...

Joemzl, I like your phrase...'down the slope without active breaking'...I never thought of it like that, gives me a different mental view which is helpful :-) Starikashka, thank you for pointing out that learning can be done on green...I didn't realise...I thought I had to get on steep slopes for ca...

Wow, Zinal looks like that already...

Joemzl , my first attempt on a black run...sent me bouncing 20ft on my stomach...then 20ft again on my back,as I tried toe to heel to toe turns.... :roll: 2010 a noob to snowboarding, on nursery slope with 2 to 5 year olds, onto a green run for some weeks, march 2010 had a collision with a woman bui...

Some cracking sailing pics there ...I would say that being almost horizontal to the water is like being almost horizontal to the snow... :) It's fascinating how even beer drinking has similarities :wink: my summer weight training is leaving me with forearms like Popeye, and not much else...still it ...
