G,

I found this bit of new video of John site, and, showing a few of his concepts. My understanding is that he's producing a full DVD and this is a piece of it.

My very limited understanding is that in the finishing phase of a turn, the skier's weight goes to the little pad on your foot behind the small toes. Next, a slight tipping the skies to a flat position enables the skies to drift or cascade through the next turn. So the skiing is done in a relatively stacked, quiet, centered body position with the feet being very active in initiating the turn.

The DVD is very good quality and does a good job of explaining some JC basics. In another post, I stated my view that JC's style of skiing is low edge angle skiing, and, the video is an example of what I mean by low edge. It certainly appears to be a good method of learning bump skiing. God, I'd love to ski on that quality of snow!

Any thoughts from the video you want to share?

Mike
