Observation Summary

At the top of the bowl my partner and I noted that it was loaded and was primed to make a slope cut. The plan was for me to straight-line and then move left while exerting compression above the convex. As I was riding toward the convex the pocket collapsed, I maintained my line and was able to cut a small amount more from above the convex. A small D1 resulted.
