 Poster: A snowHead
|
The new approach is based on a "carving turn on the inside ski". If you are not a stranger to skiing, you will immediately notice that this contradicts a fundamental principle of long standing in the skiing world, i.e. turning by applying pressure to the outside ski. However, it does work and has been tried out by skiers of different standards, all of whom made exceptionally fast progress.
I showed it to two experts, one said that it has nothing new, another said that it is complete rubbish, so may be it is new after all... Google search on "pressure on the inside ski" gives mainly something like "Avoid putting too much pressure on the inside ski". However, it works so well - why is it not widely used and tought?
just came across this in J2ski.com
what do the experts make of this then

You need a much bigger range of lateral movement if you are going to carve on the inside ski. Not a skill that most skiers have. I was skiing on one leg on some cat tracks today (similar range of lateral movement required) and it was very challenging if the speed picked up.

Joubert detailed it and didn't care for it much.
There are some enthusiasts for it on here. Apparently you need to have your boots mounted like a duck to really get the best from it.
Bewar of 'new' ski techniques. If you can do it o skis, someone has done it.
