    4:39 fun fact, approach b is actually how good skiers ski down the hill. We’re taught to keep our bodies perpendicular to the hill, approach c would cause you to lose control because your centre of gravity would shift back, which would almost certainly cause you to fall

      Perhaps this could happen when you activate a boost or something. :)

      I had to look this up to confirm but you're totally right. Today I learned something new about my own poor skiing form lol. I'll be adding some of this upper body rotation to the character's ski form (as well as my own)

      @@solomon-gumball if approach b looks to "aggressive" you could do a soft parenting thing, where the upper body inherits like, half of the rotation of the lower body, having control over that would let you do a lot, you could also make the fraction proportional to speed, so if they go faster they lean more into it, (but clamped between some values like 0.5 and 1)

      Just pace yourself my friend. If there's something I learned since learning video production in a class last semester, it's that making a game is difficult, and even just basic editing of gameplay footage can get a bit exhausting.
      Nonetheless, I hope this gets a lot of attention, I'm excited to see where this goes!
