I'm interpreting it as the middle, since he says just in front of the heel. basically it's right in the middle of your center of mass, so that when you hit the bump you are perpendicular to the impact point of the bump and not pushed backwards or forwards, thus remaining balanced. Hopefully if I'm wrong, Steve can chime in 😃
It can move around during a turn, from the balls to the heel, this video is specifically talking about being in a spot which allows the legs and feet to move and absorb freely. So for me that feeling is just in-front of the heel. Thank you for your comment.
Yeah being in a spot which allows for freedom of movement in the joints in the legs so I can absorb. For me it's around the front of the heel, you're right with being somewhat neutral or middle to allow this to happen. Thank you for your comment. 😁
letting the feet get ahead and any pressure on heel anywhere in the turn, in bumps or anywhere on the mountain, is very poor skiing technique. you should be ashamed for putting out this misinformation as there are people who might not know any better
@bensmith6308 the feet will not get ahead if the pressure is on the front of the heel (back of the arch) with some shin pressure and ankle flex. It will allow for effective balance and the ability to articulate the joints in the legs to be able to absorb. This is not mis information. It’s been tried and tested with hundreds of students and athletes with very good results and stronger bump skiing. The way it is described might make you think I’m just saying send it back and live on your heels. But that’s not what is happening. I’m specifically talking about when you need to absorb and where the foot needs to be to allow to do this freely. There are times when the ball of the foot is used. But I try to keep the videos simple and one main focus at a time. I don’t claim that this is the only way to ski. If you find something else that works then go for that. But this is not mis information. It works! It just takes some practice to get it right. 😀 Thank you for your comment.
@@skicoachingonline I'm no pro but I can ski a zipper and I understand both your points and how this can be interpreted as bad information I think more explaining is needed ... because and intermediate can definitely wind up in a back seated bad situation on a steep bump run with this suggestion
This is a great video. Subscribing.
Thank you I’m glad you got something from it. 😀
Thank you for your comment.
I need to make this video, just waiting for the perfect moguls 😂
Loads of snow falling here this weekend! Come over there will be bumps everywhere 😁
So that means balance and weight is slightly back? Not on the ball of the foot or middle but towards the heel?

It looks like driving an automatic with one foot on the gas pedal and one foot on the break at the same time.Try to show some turns.
Ok, I’ll get someone else to hold the camera next time so I can film more shots of just skiing the bumps.
Thank you for your comment.
Skis should NOT be flat when sideslipping and so this is poor instruction.
wow, this is so wrong
How is it wrong?
