snowrider 寫:So no more debating on the "Z turn" vs "C turn"? I would say that both Carver and Norman are correct. It really depends on how you see this question.
Why? Carver's point is that Norman's turns are not in round shape "C turn" - which is correct. Norman's point is that his turns is not in Z shape - which is also correct.
Not really, as I said, Z-turns are caused by excessive skidding and park-and-ride hesitations, and there are no real Z-turns in any of the clips shown. Norman was wrong by suggesting that the first demo clip was doing Z-turns, as the skier, though skidded a bit, but the turns were rounded Not Z, and the skiing was flowing smoothly. And carver's point was just a pathetic bashing used to rattle norman, (just saying something opposite to what Norman said,) which has no real creditable facts in his arguments.
It's like you bring an apple to ask people whether it is an orange. They will tell you "no, it's not an orange". Even if it is not an orange, it is still not a banana though - if you want to eat banana.
So, the answers were wrong.
Therefore, how about to open a new thread to discuss another topic?!
You probably won't like it, skiing at Lake Tahoe/Sierra Nevada mountains is at its prime mid-winter conditions—cold and fast powdery snow, warm bright spring sun/light and cool spring breezes—excellent spring skiing conditions, and another month to go.
Have fun, :)
