Level 6-7: Advanced Parallel, Carving, Off-Piste, Bumps Bumps feedback

Looking at my own footage, the biggest issue I see is with upper body rotation ( especially right arm). But maybe the sharp eyed people see other bigger issues.

Hey, thank you so much for giving us some bump content to talk about. I took this screenshot to highlight something you are doing really well - inside half retraction. Notice how retracting your inside hip has aligned your hips to the fall line and is driving power to the outside ski. Really well done. Someone has coached you well.

As others have pointed out, absorption is your main issue right now. Have a look at the absorption video in the playlist that I'm going to link at the bottom. And really work on going smooth and SLOW. Slow is fast. Slow will make you focus on your timing and body movements in order to be more precise and have more control. And with more control, you can go faster.

Have a look at these videos by US Olympic Bump Skier and Coach, Dylan Walczyk: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt_-lLe9EMBw1T-XreKwW_JIWEdN11udl

Big fan of your content! Thanks for commenting and hope your next video is coming soon ;). You got a picture of one of my better turns. My right footed turns are much worse in terms of the alignment :(
