it's all about leaning on that outside edge, suprisingly fun with centermounted skis

to turn to the side with the ski that is on you have to lean way over.

maybe you should learn to ski a bit better then instead of being a fucking park rat.

When you are skiing most of your weight should be on the outside ski of a turn -- so on the inside edge.

1 foots are dumb. fastslides, however, are not.

keep your hands out in front, pivot your foot for short turns.
roll your ankle to acheive good angulation for carving.
DON"T INCLINE MUTHA FUCKA.

I got really good at landing 3's with one ski (I had salomon bindings) but taking off is quite a challenge.

One of my bindings fucked on top of the mountain a couple days ago, I had to ski all the way down on one ski and carrying the other.
