hi thank you for the helpful videos. i just have a question:

when i ski and find that my speed is out of control i tend to throw myself and fall to stop speeding. i tried what you said on controlling the spped of the turn after the turn is over but i still can't seem to shake this tendency, to throw myself on the ground whenever i feel i am speeding. can you give me any advice about this? thanks and much appreciated.

@MrMicho737 Try rotating your feet at the start of the turn don't rotate the whole body just the feet ,as you flatten the skis at the start of the turn feel the rotation of the skis and progressively built an edge don't throw the body turn the feet.

@wafflestudent We do have a video lesson regarding fore/aft balance coming soon. It is aimed at more advanced skiers but the information and advice will remain useful for a good parallel skier.

Great videos! Just wondering if you had any good exercises for basic parallel skiers to work on their fore/aft balance? Thanks.
