In this episode, I sit down with my good friend and former Australian demo team member, Demelza Clay, to dive into the often-overlooked topic of inside leg mechanics during carve turns at high edge angles. Demelza shares her recovery journey from an ACL injury, explaining how it forced her to relearn movement patterns and ultimately ski better than ever.We explore how her skiing mechanics shifted post-rehab, particularly the "whipping" sensation she felt in high-edge turns. Video analysis revealed a stance wider than her hips, sparking adjustments in her balance and stability. This led to valuable insights into how the relationship between the inside knee and hip can impact performance.We challenge conventional skiing norms and discuss how experimenting with technique can lead to breakthroughs. The episode wraps with practical drills like crab walks and "in-rigger" exercises to help listeners refine their inside leg movements and improve their overall skiing performance.🎦 Videos mentioned in the podcast on the Big Picture Skiing App/WebsitePodcast listeners can claim a 25% off coupon on any membership to Big Picture Skiing:- The Pistol Squat in Your Ski Turns https://bigpictureskiing.com/programs/the-pistol-squat-ski- Rolling The Inside Knee https://bigpictureskiing.com/programs/rolltheknees- Activation Of The Inside Foot https://bigpictureskiing.com/programs/insidefootactivationJoin a Big Picture Skiing Camp with Demelza and Tom https://bigpictureskiing.com/pages/skicampsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
