JB,
You're now living proof that "no good deed goes unpunished". Been there many times in discussions about ski technique with the twin terrors of "just wanna have fun". Ironic how they like terms such as ski
**** but want to quibble about free-skiing.
For a change, let me bring a thread back on topic. I've been watching the video and musing how to use it in my (lift ticket paid for) free skiing. It's a little different than the traditional road map of starting at the beginning as there's no "start here point". Clearly based in PMTS, my thinking is that it would be difficult for those without a PMTS background to comprehend. As with all of HH's work, there is a lot there to incorporate, not for the casual interest, short attention span demons of the world (and you know who you are). Props to Harald for continuing the development and thinking of how to do PMTS better.
Day one of skiing following viewing taught me counteracting skills continue to need development especially on turns to left. I think there are more than a few drills, but, they do emphasize ones that can easily be incorporated into a day of skiing with friends. I always leave the mountain thinking I've got a long way to go. So much skiing, so little time.
Agree that the visual images burned into the brain via watching are powerful. Very quiet upper body, feet that just dance. The music ......well let's just say bluegrass gets old after an hour or five minutes.
Well worth the investment.
Lynn, Jim and Todd - Any discussion of the new video this weekend?
