Duane, I do remember watching that vid last time you gave us a link and thinking about what kind of edging you were doing (which leg you were dropping, etc - for a given turn initiation). For straight-in runs with mild turning action it shouldn't be too difficult to do and not worry about tripping up. Not sure how far I'd take it though, myself. I don't think Wayne H teaches it that way. Not sure what the BCU's stance is on this - but they are a bunch of fairies as we all know. You are not, obviously. :-) DL > Doug and John, > > Wow, I seem to be alone on this one. > > I hate to make you watch my own video, again, but if you watch the one > linked below, you'll see lots of edging on the outside of the turn.
