Hey Greg...Nice turns....You and I are going to have some great fun at Holimont when I see you....it's gonna be squirrel chasing squirrel... ;D

A couple of thoughts on me:

2 things I too have been really working hard on is #1: keeping the pole plant fluid,...flowing from the shoulder and wrist....nothing tense. The only time I find I have to engage more of the muscles in the shoulders and wrists is on quick short turns...all the others, I focus on trying to keep it all relaxed, rythmic and connected.

#2: I find with the free foot is that as the pole plant touches, I simultaneously pull back the free foot...using that mental thought has made that mechanical movement easier to apply. The other I find that if and when I want to recenter on my up hill edge, (bottom 3rd of the turn) that re-centering on the uphill edge keeps that foot under my hips...keeping all square.

Looking forward to carving it up at Holimont with ya.....g
