This and the hip separation thread are interesting discussions. They have caused me to buy JC's book Four Words for Great Skiing. If my understanding is correct, re-centering is the equivalent to an early stance ski release and transfer to the LTE ski in anticipation of the upcoming turn. If my memory serves me correctly, this has been described in ACBAES #1 & #2 as an early release/transfer in bumps to ensure engagement at the optimal time in to turn (engage) in relationship to the upcoming mogul.

I find it curious that JC has come up with a whole new glossary of terms for movements and actions that HH has already well labeled and defined. I find it confusing that JC uses centering and re-centering in relationship to both fore/aft position and ski to ski weighting.

Overall, I find nothing new in JC's book that has not been described by HH.
