His flex is half what I have been trying to achieve. Is really good to see it with out the confusion of different shapes and restrictions of individual bones and muscle limitations we all seam to have gained through age lol good clip

Cheers for the positivity speed, I am looking forward to the session and the feedback, the more the merrier lol. The session with new Gen starts at 2:00 and me and Franz hope to get there around 9ish so can continue building on what Franz has had me doing last week.
if feeling down lol ill remember the money saved on not doing BASI courses will cover the cost of ski trips lol

I do understand that stretching yourself its a pity how one trip I will push the boundaries and yep have excelled, and then another trip my heels dig in like the last trip, had all of the ingredients to come down most things albeit sideways sometimes, and mentally found it hard to do so, I found it frustrating as I felt I was not only holding myself back but also my ski buddy,

It is only now I am learning the fundamentals, after three weeks of skiing over two seasons and a dozen sessions at Hemel. if I carry this through to my two week trip in Jan my confidence and skills should be well up there and my so am hopeful of making another leap (you never know may even be able to carve by the end of it LOL

I have found the video so useful as it can be reviewed way after your trip or lesson, as a week after an instructors feedback it can be so hard remembering all the points . feet, Joints, Core, Arms Eyes, Poles, P,E,R the list goes on and on and on Lol

Happychap,
Look on the bad days as a positive because if you never had a bad day how would you be able to really enjoy and appreciate the good days, and those rare days when everything clicks together and you and your ski's are in perfect harmony with the hill.

After years of feeling as if I lived on ski's 24/7 and never having anything other than one pic the video is great. I have refused to start analysing my skiing yet, because I am that rusty I know I am doing a lot of things wrong, but slowly the feeling is returning.
I am nowhere near as dynamic as I was joints protest at angles they thought were decades in the past.
Hopefully in a month or two rather than watch grimace and laugh at them ( and it is more grimace than laugh at present ) I will break them down analyse every movement set targets to work on plan routines/drills and that is when the serious work begins but hopefully by then I will be at around 70-75% of where I was before I stopped. When things start to loose the fun factor I will just slip into fun mode and mess around for a while till I am ready to work hard and try and get as close to where I was as I can.
So every day you click on them planks is a good day what happens afterwards ? Who care's ? The first requirement for fun has been met.

You advice group and lessons franz are sinking In honestly they are, but the issue as I see it is this. I know what to do and what I am not to but, when standing at the top of the slope I get a tAd excited and all lessons and advice go out of the window. I will have it sorted by page 10 I hope and not page 70 (franz) lol😄😄

Watched all of the vids back today and have tried to view my skiing with my new slightly more knowledgable head and tried to review myself. And am in full agreement I am skiing to fast hoping to mask my mistakes by doing what I feel I am good at. But know in reality I can not ski. I can get down but I have not been employing the basics (fundiments) as it is only now I am being taught .i will say this. crap skiing or ESF standard I love it all any excuse to ski is a serious natural buz that will keep me busy for the next 20yrs 😄😄😄

Hats off, I'm astonished that you stayed upright.
A suggestion if I may, try making three times as many turns each run.

As in you didn't fall each run.
I should have written stay standing on your skis because you were rarely upright.
Maybe try to maintain a consistent speed on snow by turning both skis across the fall line and not pressuring the snow to kill the acceleration.

Ok mike I'll give it a try Saturday. I'll get franz to demonstrate for me to ensure I understand fully what your talking about. Is harder to do right in practise all these drills than you guys make them sound. I am trying to get it right honest 😄 it seams as I work on one aspect it messes up another. All day franz was on at me for not staying upright and forward during my turns ce la vie no doubt in 10 years time will still be working on somthing 😄
