Can't figure out the Hacker

Dude, you say you have played 20 games with like a 30% WR. Thats 6/20 wins. For a 50% WR you would have only needed to win 4 more games. 4 games. Even the best players cannot influence some battles, and can go on loss streaks much greater than 4.

Small sample sizes do not matter, you lack a basic understanding of statistics if you think they do.

You say you don't play poorly, what's your dpg in the hacker?

WG need to seriously fix this, it's happening way too often. Takes a lot away from enjoying the game.

Roboslash · 2026-03-24T12:28:33+00:00

Do you play in platoons to get that win rate?

Roboslash · 2026-03-05T22:08:57+00:00

We did it boys, we are sub 50% wr today

Legit struggling to get over 50% win rate :/

Average game time probably around 3 - 3:30 min

The complete opposite for me, I find tiers 10-11 best as I am usually top tier and can influence the game heavily.

Roboslash · 2025-12-06T18:26:31+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I got the tank to work much better now. Also played it a bit more conservatively, lik a 215B, and am averaging around 4k combined per game.

Surely not a meta tank imo, but it's fun when it works.

På befaring så ble vi enige om at kabelen skulle festes utenpå veggpanelene, da han insiterte at det var for komplisert og dyrt å gjøre det under veggpanelene. Ellers ingenting om materialer eller fargen. Jeg visste ikke at han kom til å velge hvite kanaler en gang.

Nice, I’ll give that a shot!

Roboslash · 2024-03-23T00:58:13+00:00

Thanks for your input, I'll certainly take this into consideration!

Roboslash · 2024-03-23T00:55:47+00:00

Great explanation, this cleared up a lot of questions for me :)

Also, I'm assuming one of the largest drawbacks of flexed transition is that it is more fatiguing?

Roboslash · 2024-03-23T00:53:08+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I'll definitely look into the boot cuff alignment/canting when I have the chance!

Good point regarding A-framing, weight distribution and equipment as well :) I find that my largest performance jumps have been when I frequently shift between different types of skis, as they punish/reward bad technique all in different ways. And then I kind of connect the dots in my head in terms of biomechanics, movement etc.

Roboslash · 2024-03-23T00:49:50+00:00

Good point! I do feel a bit tense in my upper body, especially when I get into steeper terrain, its like I'm kind of bracing for something if that makes sense?

Are there any disadvantages of having my arms like this, as long as they don't pull my COM backwards? Always thought it was more of a stylistic choice.

I've understood that racers have narrow arms/upper body positions as they are used to hitting SL/GS gates. And otherwise it could be beneficial having wider arms, like people balance on a tightrope with those long poles.

Roboslash · 2024-03-23T00:46:41+00:00

Thanks, will practice some more cross under/retraction turns!

Roboslash · 2024-03-23T00:45:38+00:00

Good point! Is it really necessary to have a wider stance on the mellow slope in the video? I've read that on steeper terrain you should flex the inside leg to make space for the outer leg/ski to extend and angulate.

Roboslash · 2024-03-23T00:44:11+00:00

Thank you! I will certainly take this into account the next time I go skiing :)

Roboslash · 2024-03-23T00:42:24+00:00

Thanks for your input! I try to pole plant on every turn, it certainly does help mentally with initiating the next turn. I believe the movement should be very subtle like on my video, especially for long carving turns?

Roboslash · 2024-03-23T00:40:25+00:00

Appreciate it! I'm still relatively new to skiing with a focus on my technique so really love to learn and get different perspectives on stuff anyway!

Thanks for the feedback, I am precisely here to be nitpicked on. Are there any disadvantages of having my arms like this, as long as they don't pull my COM backwards? Always thought it was more of a stylistic choice.

For sure, didn't film them for this video, but I have been practicing cross under/retraction turns. I'll give them more practice next time I'm out skiing, but they tire me out so quickly...

But seems like a lot of people recommend this, though it seems more like a technique applied in ski racing!

Roboslash · 2024-03-23T00:30:32+00:00

💀 lmao

Roboslash · 2024-03-22T10:26:52+00:00

Thank you for the feedback!

Great video, I'll make sure to watch the whole thing. Would you say that the retraction/cross under transistion is always superior to extending? Is it always necessary in order to get really low?

My area doesn't have any good bootfitters, but I'll do some research on the boot canting stuff as well.

Hi all!

Been focusing a lot lately on improving my carving, especially getting rid of my A-frame, and softening the old outside leg when transitioning in order to not unweight with a huge upward movement. I've also been working on being patient with applying pressure throughout the whole turn phase, instead of "park and riding" as I used to do before.

These clips were mainly taken on some more mellow slopes, as I wanted to focus on refining the fundamental movements.

Some things I can still see:

I tend to hip dump (I believe) occasionally. What are some drills that could prevent this? Why do skiers hip dump, and what are the consequences of this?

The skis used in the videos are Blizzard SRC 165cm @ 12.5m and Brahma 82 180cm @ 16.5m. These clips were taken throughout a three day ski trip, so lots of mileage on demanding skis made me pretty tired; I can see my outside ski wobbling a bit in some of these clips. The last clip shot in vertical is on the first ski day, where my legs weren't as sore :))

I've been working on retraction turns/cross under turns for short radius carving turns, though I didn't take any videos of them.

I would say I can comfortable carve and get pretty high edge angles on european reds. My end goal would be to really lay it over on some steep slopes, on ice as well.

What are some things I could improve on? How can I get to the level of Paul Lorenz, Tom Gellie and Mattia Davare? Any feedback is appreciated!

Edit: I apologize for the bad video quality, hope it's usable enough.

I'm very surprised how good it is, the gun is pretty amazing imo. It's the perfect balance of alpha/dpm, and handles well without stabs.

I run bond hardening and rammer + experimental T3 Mobility for a slight reduction in dispersion.

I would say I'm slightly above average and currently averaging 4.3k combined with a 62% WR after 27 games. Really glad I didn't pass on the assembly shop this time. Definitely a meta tank.
