Used to kick turn, but you need two good knees for that,so now I rely on almighty jump turns.

in that final link in photo form as well, but really those photo's are awful. You rarely see people use it and it's not something I've ever really practised.

Okay, I get it now, thanks. It does look a little like, well leg crochet perhaps. Perhaps I should try a couple of turns next winter. Or you can try, and I'll hold a camcorder :D
