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).
1. did not even watch the bumps video, only steeps, glades and carving.
2. I do not strive for pivoting, but I am going to do what is most appropriate for the situation. In that steeps videos it solid skiing. Yes he is pivoting into alot of turn. He could probably go faster and ski it arc arc to but you have no idea what his intent was or how steep those slopes really are.
SO again so it does not come up, I do not strive for pivoting but I think saying your never going to pivot is going to limit where you ski. This is why PMTS is a flawed teaching system and I have yet to meet someone who is PMTS learner who can keep up with me for one run let alone the whole day. Let alone make it down smoothly as its not just about getting the bottom first. BTW it does not count when I go out west there is nothing at any western resort that would or should make you break from your "mold" at stowe though good luck never pivoting or using rotary.

Foot Squirt is the ability to let your feet beat your COM to the fall line and then catching them. He could use alot more work at it as sometimes he fails to get to his tips.
MA people who did not want to be MAed is freaking lame, and MAing someone without knowing his intent is nearly impossible. If I went out and spun 360s on hill while making rotary based turns starting from the upper body there is no way you could MA it with out knowing the intent.
I know I ride a high horse but someone has got to ride it!
