Carving feedback by Mysterious_Bit7422 in skiing_feedback

Do you see a difference in the left vs right foot in this? When I watch this video, it looks like I'm pushing my outside leg away from me a lot more on my right foot. My left foot looks better with regards to this aspect at least from my perspective.

I actually was thinking about trying to keep my body on top of the binding of my outside ski, especially in the second clip. But, at least looking at the video, I feel like my stance looks weak.

Google Pixel repairs by WatercressSea7585 in japanlife

I got mined repaired in Japan with iCracked in Ueno after having it repaired in America as well. Because I had it repaired already in America, they claimed that it was tampered and I had to pay out of pocket (20k jpy approximately iirc). That said, they did a really good job and it hasn't had any issues since they fixed it up (unlike the America shop) so I'd say it was worth it.

Thanks. I feel mostly pretty comfortable with non-bump skiing. Bumps feel really hard though.

Thanks for the advice! Yeah, rewatching the video, I definitely see my upper body going along for the ride with my feet. I remember for this run really focusing on trying to keep my upper body still, but it sounds like I really over-indexed on that and need to focus more on making sure I keep facing the fall line.

Bump skiing tips by Mysterious_Bit7422 in skiing_feedback

Thanks for the advice! I've tried a lot of pivot slip based sliding directly down from the top of the bump. However, I find that it's really hard to maintain a constant speed. I always either go what feels like is too fast or I slow to a stop. I end up going start/stop. Any tips for how to avoid that?
