It's so typically Japanese.
It reminds me of Japanese woodcraft, bonsai, cuisine, or even drifting. Take something obscure and master it with the utmost technical perfection.
This is the way.

I think I get the unique basic physics of his skiing. His emphasis on pins or NNN is to push into the bindings and tip the skis as opposed to the school that has the emphasis on a dominant downward pressure with a twist.. In any inactive binding, you will get better ski tip leverage by pushing the bindings more from behind than trying to put full force downwards into the bindings and then twisting. Hence it is critical in his style to keep that trailing boot heel low. Just seems obvious that you will be able to direct your turning power more effectively by not fighting your own forces. Lower cuffed boots without even the simplest cabled binding are an advantage for his XCD style in that the skier does not have to resist the tendency for cables to lift the heels.

Hiro's skiing is like the Judo of the sport of xcD.

It's a shame Grampa Groomer is still reliving WWII, he might have learned something from the Japanese.

That part of Japan looks very similar to the Eastern US.

20 ski forums all suffering from the same common problem...

It gives you the option of commenting in a setting where your perspectives can be vetted by fellow skiers on a more advanced level maybe.

Ahh, here is a Thiro student and but she's sking locked, and notice her basic body movements are very close to the kind of walking style he uses in his Telemark skiing. Swings her arms around unlike Thiro though.
