jRoe Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 With a 97.67 score and not getting better as the summer moves on, I have tried slowing speed down several clicks (34.0) but still not making it thru the pass -38. so the other day I go -32,-33 .5,-35,-36, skied 3@38. The smaller jumps in line lengths makes it easier to step to the next level. I'm thinking it would be nice to be able to ski these lengths in a tournament. I take a old switch rope for the mid loop. My -36 was close to a -35... maybe i keep skiing the mid-loop and my -38 will get there. any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbrenchley Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Progression is based on improving technique required to run the pass. I don't think that skiing "mid-loops" is the answer to doing that, but if it makes you feel more comfortable and gives you more confidence then I can't imagine it hurts, but I would spend more time working on technique at 35 off and do fewer attempts at 38 off for a few weeks if it were me.

BruceEmery Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I've been a strong proponent of mid-loops for long time. It's a physical and psychological aid to take baby steps. I was driving for a friend yesterday who was struggling at -32. I said " I'm putting you back on -30 ". He ran the pass and went home feeling good about his skiing.
