Well, congratulations are in order, I suppose. Walking in the footsteps of Stein Erickson, are we?. No inverted aerials or funny fanny wiggles for me, Walt. Besides, I don't have the wavey hair (or much hair of any style), and have no desire to be any sort of supervisor, let alone a director of skiing. |

news:bqumuu$269j7e$1@ID- Anyway, Foot2foot, all I was saying was that an outside observer easily sees what you alude to - the skier cg must be inside the curve in a turn; however, depending on sophistication, the skier himself could easily consider himself outside the curve if he identifies inside/outside by his localize force vector. There's no way *anyone* could think their body is on the outside of the skis if they're paying attention to it. It's when they lose track of it that they fall. Or, when they get thrown to the outside of the skis by catching an edge or some such. Or, in many many cases, the skier doesn't think about it *at all* or even realize it's necessary because no one at all ever told them. They think if you move your knees and your hips and twist your leg, that's all there is to it. I'm beginning to wonder how many times you're going to continue to do this as long as I keep saying that you need to have your body on the right side of the skis to turn right. But you could do me a favor. In this particular case, you could explain exactly what "localize force vector" means to you. The angulation that provides the sense of being outside that vector is easiely observed in modern racers: (also note how strongly angulated they are, even today) As I stated earlier in the thread, this is the "long bone" technique as opposed to the short bone. Using the hips instead of the knees. Right? This isn't getting any less prevalent it's getting more prevalent. I can not consider how the skier pictured could *possibly* consider himself on the left side of the skis as he is turning right. I'm also really beginning to think I should dump this thread and start another, but you'd probably only pull the same thing again. http://www.audi.com/imgs/com/en/expe...ts/audifisskiw orldcup/audifisskiworldcup/106760977560732423.jpg or http://tinyurl.com/y37m |

CLIP I can not consider how the skier pictured could *possibly* consider himself on the left side of the skis as he is turning right. The skier is to his right of the gravity vector extending vetically from his left ski's edge. His cg is at his belly button, between his bib #9 and crotch. His force vector which defines his local "apparent vertical" extends from his cg to the inside edge of his left ski. A person's "apparent vertical" provides his local (dynamic) reference for up and down; gravity provides only one component of the vector addition - dynamic forces provide the other components. The skier in the jpeg's right hip is "inside" his apparent vertical, his head (where his perception is located) is "outside" his apparent vertical. Since a local "apparent vertical" is all the skiers perceives, he could easily consider his perception location as "outside" the turn; it has nothing to do with the gravity defined vertical, which the skier cannot sense while turning. We got off on this tangent because you are talking about something else - a skier's cg must be to the inside of a turn wrt the local gravity vertical. I agree. All I was saying is it isn't as simple when the frame of reference is riding along with the skier. Then the definitions change. Sorry for the confusion. Carry On, Regardless.
