Thanks for the confirmation, my good man. A skidded turn on skis happens when you hit some ice or hardpack for eg. Actually, I think that most classical/old-school parallel turns are "skidded" parallel turns. They are hard to control compared to a slipped turn as in side-slipping or turning into the hill. Yes. When a skidded turn screws up, the skier falls backward, there would be no recovery. When a slipped turn screws up, the skier falls forward, with a strong leg, one may still recover. So, slipped turns are safer, too. IS |
