Thank you for the clarification of weight transfer and base of support for the different techniques. I am definitely overstepping on the uphill, with my ski tails touching every step, and in the one skate, I bring my foot back under me, but then I move it out again and set it down, rather than keeping it under me. These videos are great for those of us that didn't grow up in a race program, or lessons, and have been piecing it together for years! Thanks.
I really like the differentiations here because, by not keeping them separate, they are also the key ways that I / many people do a combination where it's neither fully V1 or V2
I have naturally occurring "collapsing arches" on my mostly flat feet. Do you think this limitation transfers to the push off motion? I have trouble in general building momentum, but it still serves for a brutal workout. Thanks!
Not enough compression on the offset video, and what compression he does is wasted when he comes up to soon, before he skates off the weak side ski. Remember that more force can be generated on the weak side ski as the arms and body are raised at the same time.

Awesome explanation about offset, I can think of few things that I need to keep in mind when practicing the next time(s)!
Love those door analogies!
