From the number of people that jump in every time someone posts a video, I'd say this place is grossly underused.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

comprex, Are you saying that not many people contribute? There must be lots like me who read/try to learn, but who wouldn't dare to offer suggestions/criticism of someone else's skiing - I feel completely unqualified to do so.

Hurtle, not enough peeps submit video.
Beyond 6-7 comments per video, I don't think there is much benefit to the OP. Since so many like to enter the discussions to suggest or to ask for clarification, we need more videos.
The embarassment/privacy argument is really out the window: this section is NOT open to unregistered visitors and lookit how many peeps answered the 'What do you do' thread.

comprex, oh, I see. My embarrasment starts at an earlier stage - don't like to ask friends to take pics/videos of me skiing, seems rather an imposition. No doubt that it's super-useful, though, one of the reasons I learned such a lot on the course I did the other week.
Yes, agreed about the 'what do you do' thread, it was fairly revealing, though some (including me) answered in fairly vague, unidentifiable terms.

comprex, ah. Btw, I thought it was only the Apres section that wasn't open to the public, but that the rest was.

Hurtle, I kind of like it.

Only if they reveal their credentials. I haven't the least idea what yours are, btw. But you sound as though you know what you're on about - even if I sometimes have to resort to Googling your bons mots for further clarification!

Think of it like this. Car are are able to turn because by virtue of their weight the front wheels are pressed against the tarmac and then they are turned. So the top ski has to be pressed against the snow.It has to be rolled onto its inside edge, and then the turning will begin.However it has to be done with a degree of comitment and at the right speed. Try it below an appropriate speed and you'll just fall over. The words are: stand on it(top ski) and turn it.
