My friend Joshua. You Rock!! I really like those turn at the start of the video. Great

Joshua, I just watch your previous video and Your turn look different on this one. I always like it your turn but I do prefer the one you did on this video. I find you have a smoother transition with more patient with your early hip angulation, on this you are getting your early edges angle by using more a global inclination with less hip angulation and that look to help you to maintain a more aligned bone structure (Rotational aspect from the upper body and lower body). It looks like you glide better from arc to arc and smoother in my opinion. You have always been strong to move lateral, but this is a plus. Great Job! In my opinion, if we angulated to early from the hip joint in the first half of the turn your body will create too much separation in the early turn and that will result in less acceleration toward the fall line. What is your opinion?

[@JoshuaDuncanSmith]

Hey Dom, thanks for your comments! Yes a smooth glide from turn to turn with early edge is one of my main goals. I like the idea of moving with the skis through the top of the turn with separation but not trying to be over separated or angulated to soon.

I want to maintain those 4 points of flex, both knees and both hips in the initiation of my turns. I find This is enough to keep me laterally balanced.

[@godin8262]

Yes, I think we see thing the same way, and I like your concept of the 4 points and it looks to work great in your skiing. I will focus on your 4 points this winter and see what it will give me on my skiing.
