Because in most cases, it has taken people *years*
to move from the bunny hills to parallel skiing on the
blues. That's why almost all new skiers quit after the
first day. This system solves that problem.

Are you talking about those "ski three times a year" kinda
people?

I've witnessed no less than five people of very different
background start skiing parallel on their first or
second day with very little external influence. They
all had grave problems with more difficult terrain though,

Exactly. The magic turns system is what enables a very
new skier to take the steep greens and the blues within
hours.

Well, if this is the case (blues within hours), than this
is of course totally worth preaching.

Going straight on a flat board just isn't a good idea.

Some people have great problems with it, some are just fine.
It depends a lot on how their bindings are set up (highback
forward lean and angles). I can set up mine to have a lot
of stability just bombing on flat board, but this makes
other things less comfortable.

Especially for a beginner No?

First useful thing a beginner usually learns is J-turns,
which essentially is going from flat to lots of edge. And
the major issue is, just like with skis, they're waaay to
far back on the board.
