- Sound like your doing all you can given your ability. Another poster
- suggested falling over. In any skiing situation (except perhaps sheet ice)
- falling can be used as a last ditch method of loosing speed.

- Your other best best is to try and control the earlier turns so that you never
- gain the speed in the first place. You may need to improve a bit before you
- are able to achieve this in the bumps.
