Agree with Marco and Horton, however, I find it best not to LOOK at anything while sliding the turn, just keep the head level and concentrate on the FEEL of the MOVE itself. Keep shoulders level and let the head move WITH the shoulders concentrating not to rotate and do not let the back counter-rotated arm move faster than the ski. Ideally, the rear hand, handle, and outside hip all meet together at the same time. Then its time to drop and leverage against the boat with these three locked together. Key is not to look cross course or at the next buoy because this will result in dropping the inside shoulder, creating rotation, and you will grab more angle than you can sustain. GOODE LUCK, ED

I use to cant my front 1/8th and the rear 1/4 on Fogmans. I originally set up my Powershell 5's that came with my 9900WR the same way. Over time they kept working their way larger than that on their own.  I'm guessing 1/2 front and 3/4 rear. After resetting them twice I FINALLY ACCEPTED THE FACT that that is where they want to be and I'm skiing better than ever.......ED

Gifted seems to have more actual skiing and would give it priority. Personally, I am a Slalom DVD junkie and probably have every one produced. EVOLVE by PJ is the best for watching ski technique with the section on Smooth Ones and 39 off sections. Buy them all when you can since each one has its own attributes....ED
