lol each to there own theres still edging involved in the advanced sliding turns . and its earlier edging at both parts of the turn to make things bit faster smooth more controlled etc.
anyhow think we've hijacked this thread long enough think its obvious that casi and basi riders have very different views on how things should be done lol. |

| Cross over turns would be better, where an earlier and gripping edge change will slow speed down and keep you in control. Fore and aft movement needs to be quick to perfect it, not an easy technique. |

thats why there short radius turns you control your speed with them 
lots of reason to do them but the most important reason is its much fun
the edging earlier helps maintain the speed and to turn earlier etc etc . lol |

why would you use sliding turns on steeps when youd be safer using as grippy turns as you could to control speed plus if your using slidey turns with your weight all on the front foot you have less control at the end of the turn 
i can only really see the use in the turns youre talking about on really icy steeps |

no matts right fore and aft aswell.
advanced sliding turns are turns where you edge earlier and pressure earlier you dont have as much aft pressure in them because your not mean to be sliding long enough to need it .
if that made any sense.
but there is both for and aft. |

Also known as 'finishing your turn' hey Matt. 
So with CASI's advanced sliding turns, does that mean no aft movement to finish the turn? If you have your weight on your front foot you can't apply as much pressure through the rear foot, hence why it slides rather than carves. |

Yeh I was sure I had heard that,
just couldn't totally place it,
a sort of "rocking" motion!
Thanks for this m@tt |

Come on chaps if you're doing it properly you'll be moving your weight fore and aft during the turns. On a normal slope you'll want your weight slightly forward while initiating a turn and slightly back on the exit (read anywhere between centred and back)
Of course the rules are never simple and it depends on the rider's ability, the conditions, how you can be arsed to ride that day, what you want to get out of the turn. If I'm being lazy and cruising then I won't have much forward and back movement but if you want to power out of the turns then moving your weight back on the exit of the turn can increase your speed. Weeeeeee 
So the answer is go and get some advanced lessons and stop listening to us because we'll tell you 50 different ways of doing it  |
