Disregarding the above post as I believe that Admin locking it was justified and maybe we should adhere by the rules of the board or at least what has been decided upon.

As well as many development programmes encourage independent thinking the CSIA (as well as others, I would imagine) encourage it with a "if it works for you, do it" attitude. It is not a set progressive teaching model, if someone comes and they can make parallel turns for example then we don't make them work through the progression from the beginning, we are taught to work with what we are given. In terms of technical progression the view is also that as long as someone does eventually visit Point B from Point A it is not so important how they get there, be it via point C or by the crow flight.

I don't see why you theoretically couldn't carve, does this not place a lot of strain on your knees? Way to go for getting out there!!

Mine might not be the biggest but it is Gucci. Agreed.

I resent that you have no addressed me with a response after still 2 replies to others. It would have been both kind yet expected of you to dignify me with a response no matter how 'stupid' the question.

Oh well.

To me it remains a bit vague trencher, otherwise I would have not asked, all I looked for was a bit of explanation in what you were saying to guide some of the (less knowledgeable folks like myself) in providing an answer. If you are suggesting what I think you are then this perhaps belongs in the Pole Plant thread or a lead on of similar topics as a lot of the counter you suggest is created by certain hand movements or positions to get in to (which you suggested al through that thread). THe pole plant can be made in such a way that it prevents the over rotation.

I guess this also doesn't outline the answer to your question but if I don't understand the question I can't give you a suitable response whilst the above does still hold true.

Edit no. 26: If it does remotely lead to excessive inner tip lead I suggest you check out the 28 page monster on snowHeads and that admin locks this thread :wink:
