I've always thought CASI did things a little differently than the others, you could always see a difference between the NZ guys and us, never seen someone from the AASI system though as Canada is CASI dominated (obviously). Our ski school doesn't have rules of how you teach so to speak, they have guidelines of where the client should be at but how you get them to there is up to you.
I get the impression that we maybe have more movement going on than other countries, however after going through it all myself I'm confident when teaching it that the techniques do work. Also the riding in those videos is exaggerated alot, I only tend to ride completely textbook CASI when I'm demoing to a class, as they will obviously not make their movements as big as they see you do them, so by really exaggerating it might get them close to the right place.
Those descriptions of the different levels on the video weren't too great either, doesn't really give a good example of the level you need to be at, but thats not really important.
I would love to do qualifications in other countries, just to get a really sound idea of what is going on in other places.
Oh and thanks to all your replies, it does build a better picture of what you guys are up to, I really want to try out your pedal approach when I get to ride again, shame I have to wait till November
