We can see the difference in speed on the exit and the hip movement upstream in the good and bad examples.
With good edge, head positioning, and paddle position, our hips move up and we maintain speed away from the gate.
When we dont have these things, especially if we have a poor reverse, its acts as a brake rather than a turn, and pushes the hips backwards.
