Not if the lead skier is a racer with over 100 less seedpoints than you it ain't Yeah, true. Years ago I'd try following the kid's coaches - among them Olympians - WC metal winner, and an accomplished speed course skier. It's tough. In fact I'd say it's impossible if they don't cooperate. Hell, I can't really even follow the kid any more if he doesn't want me there, after all those years of his high level racing. But for everyday experts I'll stick by my claim - do it on the steep junk for pure pleasure. |

Do the math for a specific turn and show what the difference in torque is. Let's say for a skier traveling at 20 mph making a turn with a radius of 20 feet. Do you own math if you cannot think/draw conclusion without the numbers. And you haven't demonstrated that you even know what a "torque" is, why "the torque on the inside shoulder speeds it up...." what's the "torque on the inside shoulder," and how it "speeds" it/"what" up? Yes, there's always "spinning/rotation motion," when referencing to the center of the turn/curved path. That's as may be. But one can have a torque without a "spinning/rotation motion". Fancy, what, and how? Don't think you can. I don't doubt that you don't think. Of course, you only think you know. There's air resistance, but won't affect the balance if you have the footing solidly planted on sliding. And thus a torque, since the centre of pressure is located roughly half your height above the point about which your body rotates with respect to the snow: your ankles. That's your "torque," when you rotate your body/ankles, i.e. your way of skiing. Flatboarding/slipping-turn does not have to rotate the ankles to make turns. Are you taking physics lessons from Jeff Davis? |
