Been wondering about this for a while....
I have noticed 2 different techniques when jumping/flying
1: The pilot keeps their ski's parallel - more for when doing small jumps
2: The pilot crosses their ski's X - when in the air for longer glides.
Is there a reason for #2 as it is also very common in Kite Snow Skiing also when the riders are doing big jumps ?
