Baller SkiJay Posted August 23, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2012 Nice skiing @markchilcutt. The short answer is "yes," but not as long as many of the skiers I know who are stuck at -28 and -32. Not surprisingly, you were pulling the longest at -32. That's where all the slack in that pass was coming from. The shorter the rope, the more human nature tells us to pull longer, but unfortunately, the shorter the rope, the more critical an early edge change becomes. Just one more of the many cruel jokes that make slalom skiing so fascinating. BTW, your crew is clearly a keeper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller T_C Posted August 23, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2012 When you turn in for the gates from a narrow point you have to pull long to get to the bouy line. Try getting higher on the boat and turn in from a wider point and an earlier edge change will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted August 24, 2012 Administrators Share Posted August 24, 2012 @markchilcutt get a real video camera I would not worry about how long you pull for now. Your need to work on your stack. In short stand up - straighten your legs behind the boat.

Baller markchilcutt Posted August 24, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thanks guys!!!@Horton i know the camera is a little weak but is working good on the trakker for now after all i am broke lol!! Great advice @Horton on standing tall i really am dragging the hips bad!!! Seems the shorter the rope gets i ski into that hips trailing position even more. Maybe it feels safer with the hips trailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted August 24, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm with @horton . Fix the stack. Going from odd to even buoys your shoulders are WAY in front of your hips. Hips need to come up. Shoulders need to go back. Lean against both arms. Rinse. Repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member Than_Bogan Posted August 24, 2012 Gold Member Share Posted August 24, 2012 Did you let youtube "fix" the jittering? That algorithm will horribly corrupt a video with a lot of fast movement. I suggest reposting and turning that option down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller markchilcutt Posted August 25, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted August 25, 2012 @than_bogan no its just my set up it sucks pretty bad on the trakker and is really bad when the slack hits start!! As you can see i ski a lot of slack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
