I'm sure 30 years from now we'll be making fun of ourselves too though.. just the way it is.

To bad "runners arm" is actually kind of something to shoot for to use your lats more than your tris, right? I don't know what the optimal angle is, but as I understand it when you are used to the old school straight-arm technique it's hard to bend your elbow too much while learning. Andy, do you guys talk about and optimal angle, or does it just fall into place when you do other things right? The last one is hilarious. All I can imagine is someone using poles as props because they are trying to stay on top of their skis. ha ha Dang.
