Gary:

Pretty much what I thought, and this was a move you were explaing to me at SteamBoat last year, you just didn't give the origin.

1. I bought the rotary sander. When tipped to the right it did what you said.? However, when tipped to the left it behaved a whole lot different.? Is this because of the rotation of the sander? ;D or is John's method only good for right turns.? >:D ???

2. I have to think some to appreciate why you he feel this is really that much different.? Sounds much like phantom move tipping, but with some weight on the ski (what is the weight distribution?), and the ski still is allowed to slide/drift to maintain closeness to outside ski (not like an inside ski initiation where the skis separate)?

3. This progression through the bottom half of the turn is working towards a weighted release?? But also scrubbing some speed due to the soft edges and drifting?

Thanks very much.? Enjoy the baby pictures.
