Thanks for the input everyone. My thought is that ur right in that I rotate my hips but it is what I have been taught that works when one angulates during the turns. In free ride , the angulating of the hips to the inside of the turn keeps the body balanced over the inside edge, and hence pressuring evenly over the edge length. Guess i have to re-think how it works as I am now thoroughly confused and need some professional help. I took a lesson at Brighton but the guy was'nt much better than me and it was a waste looking back. Whats with the Bear Creek gig? Didn't know anything about it
