marc gledhill, Inside / Outside ?
To move the knee out, try a shim under the inside edge of the boot.

RobertC, t'other way round as it turns out. Bit of cornfake carcass strapped down the outside of the footbed pulls the knee across, so I'm told.

This is 'Drastic Plastic Syndromme': A line of descussion used by those frequenting dry ski slopes too often. You guys ski often, get your footbeds/boots delt with.

SMALLZOOKEEPER, very, very good assumption. I presume you disagree?
Trouble is, I won't be near a decent bootfitter until late Jan '06, so I was going to give it a crack in the meantime.

marc gledhill, My knees dive together when I flex.  I skied like this for years until it was picked up on by a BASI 1. My wedges were glued to the rigid inner boot floor and went on the heel area of the arch (medial)side of the foot.

snowbunny, is that the inside or outside side?

Marc, no worries. Try it. It's VOODOO MAGIC, MAN!
Medial, inside(Meridian/centre). Lateral, outside. Posterior, behind. Anterior, in-front. These are handy terms to know in skiing.
'Bunny, glad it worked. It's less likley to cause a problem with, volume, if this is done outside the boot or with a well built footbed. Assuming you boots fit.

SMALLZOOKEEPER, It did work. It made my skis, ski flatter, before, I was always on an inner edge. I am going for a boot fitting, for new Boots in a couple of weeks at Profeet. I will expect them to pick up on the problem.

Hey, Bunny i'm glad it worked.
Don't worry too much if they don't work with the alignment too much. 90% of alignment is in the Orthotic. Have fun, tug the Wolf's beard for me!

Hornster, having watched a program called Snow Patrol on Sky, it seems you don't have to be a beautiful skier to ski well. The park skiers on that program ski with their hands in their pockets, leaning back and still manage to ski okay.

Someone in an earlier part of this thread mentioned 'scarving' turns. What are these?

How does that work then? I thought the idea of carving is that you don't skid

Uh oh.
Please don't let this turn into a "Am I really carving? For which part of the turn? How much? Perception vs. Reality" thread.........

veeeight, I wholeheartedly agree. Much better to ask 'How much of the turn am I really carving?'
I also knock on doors and run away.

conor, yes, that's the idea, but sometimes, if you want to reduce your speed shile in a carve, then just let the tails wash out a bit.

conor, Just to knock on the door and run away ala Scarpa, these are the sort of turns that are produced by many, when in reality, they think they are carving................
