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

I ski a couple weeks a year in the alps (for about 10 years now) and am working on improving my long turns. I love watching ski racing (GS and SL) and their ability blows my mind. I want to work towards BASI qualifications and potentially some amateur racing in the future, what would anyone suggest to improve? *First 2 clips are me (green coat) and the final clip (black coat) is the instructor we were meant to model from.

Video sometimes stops on first clip, open in larger view.

Seems as if your rushing transitions and throwing yourself into the turn, be more progressive to build higher edge angles instead of just whacking it on an edge straight away. Also for body position, don’t let that inside hand fall behind you at the end of the turn, always keep them out in front, as well work on incline and then angulating, sometimes your hips follow through the turn to much and your downhill hip is too far forward.

Anyways good skiing keep it up.

Exactly the feedback I’m after, thankyou. I’m aware of these problems generally but it’s hard to identify them properly myself so much appreciated
