Not surprised that you like his skiing BW. His bump skiing is totally pivot based, which is something I think you continue to say you strive for in your skiing.

His carving is park and ride because he is not getting any tip pressure and his balance point is aft. It has nothing to do with the TR of the skis. He has no ability to bend the ski to tighten the arc (or at least he is not showing it in the video).

Yeah, the carving video was similar to that Klaus Maier carving vid floating around the internet-I can take it or leave it.

 I disagree  that his bump skiing is all pivot based. Some pivots, some pretty energetic rounder turns-and all of it smooth.  This is even more evident in the 'steep trees' video-which is still pretty bump based.
