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. :-)
