It's been a wet week, it's rained a lot and quite warm. The snow was slower than usual, sometimes even sticky.

Monday night, just riding with Marco since no one show up.

Saturday, the focus is on short radius turns on Heck (double black)
- tactic is to do the un-weight on front-foot, lift up back-foot turn, with a side-slip in between
- the tactic helps putting body in the middle of the board on steep terrain

Sunday, down un-weight turn
- it's used for speed control on steeper terrain
- a level 3 technique (wow!!)
- instead of extend to un-weight before pivoting, a rider compress to un-weight
- during the turn, a rider extend to increase pressure on the edge to control speed
- when this is done in a dynamic fashion, it is similar to a push and extend into the turn and use the re-bounce to compress and pivot into the next turn.
