Shane, how did the ventral improve the turn?
I took my ventral off a little over two weeks ago and liked the way it skied a lot, but I couldn't run my hardest pass. I put it back on one week ago and went back to running my hardest pass. It does slow the ski down but I've never had a problem with width, probably because I pull too long.
Once I improve my form, I will lose it again and see how it goes.
