Yes, this! Look at those tracks! And no deflection in his path. OtherworldlyWhat is truly impressive is that these are carved turns. These are not brushed, skidded, pivoted, twisted, etc. Richi can bang out some of the fastest short carved turns ever put on video.
He’a a big proponent of leg rotation, from the hip and below the knee, rotating the upper body into the turn, (with limits), and at times extending the uphill leg to cross over.What is truly impressive is that these are carved turns.

Cross over/extension, rotation of the shoulders or hips.Any of what?
I prefer his rounder line bump skiing to the more direct line bump skiing:I like his bump skiing here.
rotation of the shoulders or hips.
Watch that video^, hips def rotate.
Cool? I still don't get why you highlighted those specific movement patterns in reference to the OP video, which did not show them.Watch that video^, hips def rotate.
He also compares rotation of the foot to using the wrist in tennis to give acceleration.
