From skipowd.tv :

Jens Nyström and the Stomp It crew refine fundamental balance by debunking the myth of excessive knee bending on the slopes. Through proper ankle range of motion and the hip fold teapot drill, skiers prevent an inefficient backseat toilette position while navigating technical terrain. Executing a clean pop between turns and maintaining outside leg pressure creates a fluid style for carving or hitting natural features. Synchronized spring compression through both legs ensures stability when transitioning between different snow conditions or preparing for freestyle maneuvers.
