I didn't change my head motion to improve my race speed. I did it to make
my skiing _feel_ better.

Fast race times are not my main goal in skiing. Most of my skiing time is
focused on exploring the snow-covered environment, enjoying beautiful
rhythms and gliding, and playing with new powers and feelings through my
skis.

Racing is a helpful way to focus my energy on learning some kinds of new
rhythms and powers -- and an interesting competitive game to get into. But
I'm planning to do lots more non-racing skiing -- so I want that skiing to
feel enjoyable.

Ken, go out skiing with a skiier that is good on doing what he does is
wery help full for the skiier that are learning not for the skilled one.
To ski behind a really good skier for an hour is gold worth.
