flex or a tubulation, since the order of a flex is defined as being equal to the value of the hinge difference across any pat involved in the flexing operation.
flex, for it uses hinges which are in a 1 position, and further, that the hinge difference across the single leaf 1, 2 is +1.
flex from 3 to 5 and don't rotate, we find that the hinge difference associated with the flex is +1 and that this hinge difference is arrived at by adding the hinge differences in the leaves which comprise the left pat.

 Adobe - Developer Center : Flex 2: Enabling the Next Generation of Rich Internet Applications
The Flex framework provides a rich set of extensible user interface components, a flexible model for controlling layout and user interaction, and a robust infrastructure for accessing data from remote services and binding it to the data objects and user interface controls.
To facilitate working with data, Flex provides a rich data-binding infrastructure that automatically updates the user interface when data is returned, allowing applications to remain responsive even when waiting for results from the server.
Flex Data Services also exposes a robust messaging infrastructure for moving data between the client and server, and allows developers to easily create applications that efficiently leverage real-time data, occasionally available services, and very large data sets.

 HIGH ANKLE FLEX BOOT/BINDING SYSTEM
High forward- and lateral ankle flex characterized this design which often resulted in ankle injuries because of absence of boot support and binding release function.
When the knee joint is flexed, the condyles of the femur rotate slightly over the tibia head allowing lateral displacement of the knee joint and markedly increased ability to edge the skis.
The soft forward flex allows easy ankle flexion which is conducive to keeping the weight over the center of the ski.

 detail on Leg motion in ski Skating -- Roberts
The hip joint is flexed when the torso is "hinged" forward and/or knee joint is out in front of the hip.
So the concept of the "high hips forward" position is in contradiction to effective use of this big powerful muscle mass in the leg.
Controlling the Ratio: The ratio of forward to upward force delivered from the knee joint depends on: (a) how far up or back the butt is in the forward-back-vertical plane; and (b) the orientation of the leg in the side-vertical plane, underneath versus out.

Camber — Camber is the amount of bend, or arch, built into a ski and affects the flex and strength of a ski.
Flex — Because of the specific nature of the skating technique (and the fact that skating is usually performed on hard-packed snow), skating skis tend to be stiff-flexed.
To skate efficiently, your poles need to be long enough for you to use the major muscle groups in your abdomen and upper body to propel yourself forward.

(Flexing is the act of firming up a muscle) For example, when trying to touch your toes with your legs straight, rather than focusing on stretching the muscles behind your knee, focus on flexing the muscles in your back, lower back, ass, stomach and upper back thigh.
Flex your stomach and back to hold yourself solidly in a back bending position.

The Ener-G is rigid torsionally, giving superb lateral control, with a sweet, progressive forward flex that builds energy through the turn.
The buckles, attached with T-nuts, can be moved 18mm forward or back to accommodate a huge variety of lower leg diameters.
The base stiffness determines the overall boot flex; the flex zone is 20% softer for a sweet, progressive forward flex, and the "Chassis" is 20% stiffer for torsional rigidity.

 TPS Archives
A softer forward flex was the norm for the carving boot lines, brought about by a reduced need to pressure the shovel of shaped skis at turn initiation.
The softer flexing boots made all-mountain ripping a snap--the increased ankle flexion allowed for a wide range of movements and aided smooth lower body flexion and extension, which made it easy to vary turn sizes and shapes.
While the "hang-ten" stance resulting from the softened rear flex was impossible to ski from, I'll hand it to Dalbello for providing enough flex and ramp angle adjustment to enable me to salvage a functional stance.
