Liam -- I'm trying to picture in my mind what your "flapper" move might be, but all that comes to mind are images of waterfowl taking off from a pond    which I am certain you do not resemble when you ski.     Could you describe it for me? You mention pulling up the tails -- presumably this means flexing the hamstrings, but it seems counterintuitive and it would seem that this would pull the hips even further back.  Sort me out on this one, if you don't mind.  Appreciate it - thanks.
