Almost worth the Covid crisis to get this series of technical videos! I went from a ski boot with a relatively high ramp angle to one with a fairly low one, and found the opposite of what you might expect - i.e. that it would push my balance rearward - it actually made me sit back less. As you say the mind adjusts for the feeling you get, and in my case got me into a more neutral position from a sitting back one.
Good to hear you've found your happy medium, No two skiers are the same. Glad you're enjoying our videos. It would be greatly appreciated if you could hit the 'subscribe' button, it helps us push out more free content like this.
much appreciated. you're all good, they are not specifically linked apart from the 2 bumps videos. Be sure to watch 'The passion' Playlist if you want to see some out and out awesome skiing
I've just watched the first three videos and love the stuff you are covering and where you're going. I getting me excited about next season already :-)
So what would be the optimal stance alignment starting from the feet going up? Also do you want to be in your athletic position when checking the stance?
Do binding ramp next! I bought some Plum Guides and then learned how much delta they have. Haven't mounted them yet. Can't decide whether to get toe shims.
I've really managed to improve my dorsiflexion and general ankle mobility since we did that mobility gym session a few years ago. I'm pretty sure I had some bone restriction in the forefoot. Seems to be fine now though and I roll my calves regularly as they do tend to get tight.

SIA Austria - Thanks, and subscribed as soon as I came across your videos. Altho’ it was episode six, so somewhat out of sequence!

Thats great to hear!
@SIAAustria Are there any specific boots or brands that cater to those needing boots with lower ramp angle?
