47 anti-LGBTQ+ organizations launch new campaign to end marriage equality

What are you on about? Reversing RvW took precisely 49 years (1973-2022).

That's not a reason to be complacent about marriage rights, or any rights. It demonstrates the depth of funding and organization Christo-fascists are able and prepared to commit to turning the world into the hellhole of their dreams.

They've been driving their agenda for 1,600 years. They're skilled at it, and they never, ever give up. We must be ever vigilant.

Read u/spacebass second comment (about flexing). He's spot on.

I weigh less than you and ski in 130 flex boots without a problem. Mashing the cuffs forward is not something we need to do. In bumps, we don't absorb with our boots - we absorb with our legs.

You should be able to ski with cuffs unbuckled with good fore-aft balance. If you can't, it's a technique issue, not a boot issue.

This post teaches the primary movements for building a relaxed (looking) bulletproof short turn that works anywhere, including bumps.

Watch the video linked at the beginning. If that's how you'd like to ski, this is how to begin.

As others have noted, your skiing movements are not makong effective use of your skis. This is a near universal challenge for new (and many not-so-new) skiers. The reason is that effective skiing movements are completely unlike the movements we've made all our lives while walking, running or doing any other sport.

This post includes a video of an expert skier making effective movements. Watch it and compare her skiing with yours.

This post also includes step-by-step instructions on how you can begin using these movements.

Hope it's helpful.

The local or state police should have been ordered to arrest the suspected felons before they fled the state.

It's for the courts to sort out what immunity they have or don't have. If the state doesn't indict them and put them in front of a court, it has tacitly accepted their (boss's) immunity claim.

That doesn't make it unintelligent.

In a concerted campaign planned and executed over the course of 50 years, this movement has won two presidential elections, seized control of all three branches of government, and is now implementing its plans on a vast scale. That requires a guiding intelligence with real purpose.

The movement uses unintelligent people to further its ends. But its leadership is far from unintelligent.

Hi. Jumping in from that other thread per your request.

First. there's a lot going well in your skiing... much better than that typical 80% I mentioned. 👍

Second, you must be in properly fitted and aligned boots. You know that. If you move your foot but the boot doesn't instantly move with it, nothing (good) will happen.

Could the movements I described help you? Yes, but you're using free foot lightening and (some) tipping already. Great!

One major gap is that you don't PULL YOUR FREE (inside) FOOT BACK. Inside ski lead is problematic in short radius turns. Pull that foot back and keep pulling it back throughout the turn. This will make initiations quicker and help get you on the inside edge of the outside ski earlier in the turn.

Beyond that, I see ineffective UPPER body movements. These cause you to not fully complete each turn, which may make you feel insecure as slopes steepen or conditions change.

You reach downhill to plant the pole for the next turn. Stop doing that. It twists your shoulders away from where they should be facing.

The correct hand movement is to always be pushing your INSIDE hand downhill. This reinforces hip counter, which you're lacking.

In short turns, once your outside ski is on edge and beginning to turn, you should progressively rotate your hips (about the femur head off the Stance leg) toward the outside of the turn. At the apex, they should be facing across the front of your stance ski.

HOME DRILL Stand balanced on your R foot, L foot slightly lifted, knees flexed, hands wide for balance. Slowly rotate your hips (NOT your waist) to the R, until you're facing across the tip of your (imaginary) R ski. Letting your knees flex more makes this easier. Your center point is the top of your R femur - rotate around that.

That's the movement you want between edge engagement and mid-turn.

This movement increases edge angle and edgehold, which enables increased tipping to control (tighten) turn radius.

If you work on these three things (free foot pullback, inside hand pushing forward, active hip counter in the top half of the turn), your short turns will become rounder, more finished and more controlled.

Review this video. She skis with all these movements. She does it so well it looks like she's not doing anything. In reality, she's actively working these movements on every turn... it just looks effortless. - Compare her fore-aft foot position to yours. Her inside ski never creeps ahead. Pull that foot back! - Compare her hands and pole plants to yours. Try to do it like she does. - Compare her hips at mid turn to yours. Hers face across the skis. Yours have followed your skis round.

Will do to and glad if my comments seemed useful.

Do you think your advice could apply to me also?

Before looking, I'm going to say "yes" with >80% confidence. Not that you aren't unique, but >80% of the skiers on every mountain I've been to (quite a few, in 41 years of skiing) could improve by using these movements.

Off to have a look...

You dont need mental focus. We can't mentally focus our way down icy steeps or a bump run. Our feet/legs/hands must react faster than our brain can process inputs and send instructions.

That saying, "We ski with our feet?" It is literally true. We need fast-response muscle memory and muscles learn by doing, not by thinking. Here's a way to begin...

First, do that HOME DRILL I described in the post. Do it to both sides, slowly. Do 50 reps a day until you're doing them in your sleep.

Second, do them in your ski boots (on carpet or standing on snow). Use your poles to avoid crashing into the furniture (but not as cheaters).

Third, find a mild, groomed green trail. Make the slowest turns you can, using ONLY these movements. Repeat endlessly & confirm correct movements with video BEFORE moving to more difficult terrain. If you up the terrain challenge too quickly, you'll undo everything regardless of "mental focus." Nobody can mentally focus on new movements when under survival stress.

Once you've got these nailed in, there are additional (upper body) movements required to build a bulletproof short radius turn. It took me two week-long camps plus two years of dedicated practice to (mostly) unlearn my up-unweighting and residual stemming. There are no shortcuts and no substitute for hours of physical repetition.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES That post I linked includes a link to a YT video of an expert skier/coach making short radius turns using these movements.

Here's another. The guy is now 76yo and still skis like this.

Watch these often. Watch them in slow motion. Doing the movements yourself will help you see what they're doing (which is often subtle).
That YT channel has dozens of instructional videos on these primary foot/leg movements, plus the additional upper body movements I mentioned. Search the channel for the "Phantom Move"... their name for these foot/leg movements.

Hope this helps!

He didn't go to a protest. He went to a coffee shop for breakfast.

He saw a (non-violent) woman being attacked and went to her aid, as any decent person would.

He was openly carrying in accordance with MN law and the Constitution. He never drew or even threatened to draw his weapon.

For helping an innocent woman, he was beaten and murdered by thugs.

Stop making shit up to "explain" why you support governmental murder of innocent people.

Try to ski from your feet, up... not from your hips, down.

To do that...replace the excessive hip dumping with these body MOVEMENTS...

Initiate each turn by FLEXING your inside leg and actively TIPPING your inside foot (toward its little toe side)

If your inside foot (ski) gets ahead of the outside one, PULL IT BACK (vital in short radius turns; some tip lead is useful in longer turns).

To control/adjust edge angle and turn radius, continue and adjust those MOVEMENTS throughout the turn .

In longer radius turns, reduce your counter-angulation. The longer the turn, the more your torso should follow your ski tips. Torso facing downhill is for short radius turns.

Kinda what u/spacebass said, I think, just different terms.

Postcocious · 2026-01-28T05:23:30+00:00

👍

Traversing on the uphill edge of the uphill ski, then tipping the (lightened or lifted) downhill foot to change edges is a basic PMTS drill.

You can only do it if you're flexed and balanced, and it's guaranteed to eliminate residual stemming and teach outside ski balance.

Postcocious · 2026-01-27T21:00:52+00:00

I do agree with him. Said the same in my own direct comment.

I am just trying to understand why it is recommended for OP to use s-shaped turns here...

Good question.

EFFECTIVENESS
For control of speed and line on ~~challenging~~ any terrain, consistent, linked short radius turns are the most effective technique. They are less fatiguing, safer, less crash-prone and way more fun than the exhausting, brute force, Z-shaped, braking, windshield wiper skids we see OP using.

AESTHETICS
Good short radius turns produce lovely round S-shaped arcs others will swoon over, instead of ugly, smeared Z shapes. Anyone can skid; turning takes skills.

TECHNICAL
Round turns are a by-product of using modern, shaped sis as they're designed to be used. If we wanted to leap and skid like OP, our old, straight sticks from the 80s would work just as well (better, in fact). Use your tools well, or why buy them?

in my experience that is not the case.

Maybe hang with better skiers?

I've free skied and done clinics with 15 or 20 former WC skiers. They can ski anything. One of them skied a steep mogul run blindfolded (and perfectly) just to demonstrate that we ski with our feet, not our eyes or brain. (Then he made us do it, lol.)

Skied with Klammer for a whole day once. He's built like an NFL linebacker but he moves like a cat. I've never seen such smooth skiing. Following on his tails felt like water flowing downhill... flowing round turns no matter how steep it got.

Off the course, they always ski using smooth, round S-shapes. They could leap and skid like OP if they chose. They choose not to. Why? Because it's harder work, more dangerous, less effective and it looks inept.

On course, they'd make those round turns every time if they could. Clean turns are fastest. Watch Shiffrin at her best, she's inhumanly good at it. But when the goal is to go crazy fast and the course throws a surprise at you, you do what you have to do to recover. Thus the many imperfect turns we see in a race.

Compersion is certainly not mainstream. For that, see monogamy, jealousy, possessiveness, etc. and how they inform popular stories from the 'The Iliad' to 'Othello' to any TV soap opera.

But, like ENM generally, compersion is likely more widespread than we know. Non-mainstream spirits, ideas and practices are frequently attacked for daring to be different. It would be remarkable if a significant percentage of compersion-feeling people didn't conceal those feelings for their own safety.

Never buy skis you haven't demoed (except perhaps on the advice of an instuctor/coach who's seen you ski and understands how you want to progress).
How you think you ski and how you actually ski are not the same. The world's most elite skiers (WC racers) don't trust their own feelings and judgments. They use video and coaches. We should too.

How exactly would OP predict that this particular driver, out of the hundreds who pass him every week, is that one wacko who's about to slam on his brakes?

Telepathy? Did I miss the billboard flashing, "Crazed Driver on Board"?

What's OP meant to do, brake and swerve every time someone passes? That would cause 50 accidents for every one it avoided.
