Talk:Carved turn

Park and Ride
Carving a constant radius C shape is also known as "Park and Ride" skiing. It is intermediate-level skiing performance. Skiing at a more skilful level can involve progressively increasing or progressively decreasing the edge-angle that the ski presents to the slope-surface. This generates a progressively tightening or slackening turn radius.

Looking at this progressive turn, you can think of the turn being an integration of all the radii from longest to shortest. The conceptual difficulty here is that there is now no longer any centre-point for this turn, because it isn't a single-radius turn. It may be beneficial to think of a directrix line and a focus point (See parabola).

The constant-radius turn describes an arc of a circle, around which the rate-of-change of direction is constant. In the progressively-edged turn, the rate of change is itself changing. The arc is no longer circular. It tightens and slackens.

Inconsistent terminology
The first sentence in the lead uses "carve turn" the rest of the discussion uses "carved turn," (which better corresponds to English construction). Which is correct? It would be appropriate to be consistent in this article. User:HopsonRoad 00:19, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
