Friend of mine tells of the rather attractive australian instructor (with bunches) who told him to "push your hips forward like you want to fcuk me" Surprised Funnily enough he always remembered after that!

I guess different methods work for different people!
Agree with this for sure. I was taught by an Italian who didn't speak any english. Hence no theory, didn't even bother with side slipping, just held both my hands and led me down the nursery slope again and again till I'd got it.

To add to this post, it's virtually, if not completely impossible to carve very short radius linked turns (less than the radius of the boards side-cut minus a little for the board flexing).


Unless we're confusing terms that's not correct.

The "radius" of the sidecut doesn't work the way you're implying there.

I'll try to video some when I'm next in a snow dome (yes, you can also do them at slow speed).
