Sorry, but these are not carved turns.. Starts like carved and then it spins it at the end.

Define carve. Define arc. Define Skidded. Then we can have a conversation.

I agree with your assessment, when I work on "refined pressure control movements" I think of releasing the edges with a softening movement (quads relax) then applying increasing pressure to shape the top of the turn...Good work

[509tyler]

Continuing from my previous comments ...This will also allow for more refined pressure control movements, as the duration of time that pressure is increased and decreased turing the turn will be lengthened, allowing for less ski chatter when snow conditions are firmer.

I'd like to see more progressive edging at the top of the turn by less vertical movements at edge change. Vertical movements require rotational movements to redirect the skis path. Moving your core in the intended direction of travel to release and re=engage the edges will allow the skis edges to shape the top of the turn rather than rotational movements of the femur within the hip socket.

@Iolpro Hip action??

[BrokenBrilliance]

these are not full carve turns sorry

[jimmelon]

definitely short carving turn, what are you guys talk about?

[Iolpro]

This is not a lesson, just a skier having fun. Less upper body rotation (keep shoulders facing the fall line) and more hip action will lead to better form.

@509tyler I have to agree with the comments on this page, this is not carving, it's a pushed off, hard edge set turn, rotated and leaned, but if this is the intent of the skier, no one should argue, because the intent would be done right.

Is he carving or skidding the turns. A lot of muscle power is required for the skid at the end of the turn. Is he muscling his way through or is he carving. Hard to tell. He appears to push the snow at the end. The amount of snow pushed out is a measure of carve versus push, or carve versus muscling your way through,

@509tyler this is not carving ,Dude.you rotate your shins towards the center,and slide because of that. In carving there is no rotation, only leaning of your knees.Overturn your shoulders too, and skid.
