Two different types of short radius turn

[CIMA]

You must be centered in your balance to ski these smaller, softer boots well in steep conditions, and even more so in leathers, but the added ankle flex really gives you a better feel for the snow and turns.

That's it.
Nice feeling is the one that XCD skiers value most.

Please excuse me guys, but I can't help sharing Ron's answer to this, comparing his world famous 7-second sped-up 'carving' video and his flawless telemark technique to a CANSI instructor. It's just too great to be ignored...

(Don't worry, that was his final post here. What an epitaph!)

See? My "turns" are also minimal here too!!..Stay in the fucking fall-line!!

It's pretty clear that ron could use some lessons from a CANSI instructor. I don't care if he is not an expert-level skier but DO care when he talks down to everyone and preaches about his skiing genius. I really don't know or care what his point is as long as he's not here trying to make it. Au revoir ravingtele!

[Teleman]

Telemark has always been about freedom...Leather allows more of it than plastic....Better feel leads to quick adjustments...Plastic will not allow you to have the balls of your feet on the ski...er...lifters...er....gigantic bindings...Also while talking about freedom your cheap shots at Ron where he can't respond is demeaning for all who do it...CIMA has it right...it's about feel....TM

Also while talking about freedom your cheap shots at Ron where he can't respond is demeaning for all who do it...

Had a feeling this would come up

So I'll assume you haven't been to his forum? Or I'll assume that statement above would have been different.

Teleman, you're a unique and interesting character, and you love and defend your friends, but we all know the story, so let's cut the shit and stop pretending Ron was wronged in some way. Everything he got was just a reflection of what he put out. It's simply the best example of Karma I can think of.

[Teleman]

Heh, you can engage him over there Mike....Major difference....The rest is wimpy justification from the herd...TM

[connyro]

Plastic will not allow you to have the balls of your feet on the ski

TM, I respect your opinions about tele skiing, but you are dead wrong when you say that. I would be most interested to hear what you say about light plastic boots or bigger modern skis once you actually ski on them.

Also while talking about freedom your cheap shots at Ron where he can't respond is demeaning for all who do it...CIMA has it right...it's about feel....TM

This is ridiculous. Cheap shots? That's rich. The guy spends his whole online existence dreaming up ways to administer cheap shots and misdirected rage and hate. Nobody here wants to deal with his lunatic crap.

[MikeK]

No the difference is that is what he wants... he wants us to engage him so he can keep playing his little game.

Notice his idea of a sock puppet in my name? Novel. Do you think I actually use it? Not a fucking chance. I'm not that insecure or stupid.

Also Teleman, you might want to be specific who your comment is for, because I believe it was for Johnny. If you pm him I'm more than sure he'll give you his thoughts on Ron and his treatment of pictures of his wife and child, among other things. Don't give me that herd bullshit.

[MikeK]

Also CIMA, sorry to derail your thread with this bullshit but how many times has Ron stole videos or images of CIMA and ridiculed or attacked them, in hopes he could engage with him... it's obvious baiting. And beyond that it's a just a jealous, petty man grasping for straws. Karma is a bitch... or so I hear.

[Rodbelan]

Yes LJ, I was amazed that Ron posted such a vid, since he was debating about form. Strictly speaking, his turns are static, in the backseat, etc... But I don't care. He can ski on his head if he likes it...
