sodbuster88 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 At the risk of getting a ton of “quit eating cheeseburgers” comments...I’ll throw this out. Like so many bad habits in my skiing, I can’t seem to fix my breathing. Seems I find myself completely winded after a couple back to back sets. I find that when I do concentrate on my breathing rhythm , I ski tons better. Anyone else with same issue? What are you guys doing about it.

Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted August 3, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted August 3, 2018 Chew gum!! Regina does! Oh no! I just devulged her secret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski6jones Posted August 4, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2018 I had to learn to breath during tournaments. Never had that problem in practice. Anything i want to do in the course i try to focus on during setup/gate pull out/turn in. Breathing should work well with that approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster88 Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 @Jody_Seal bubble gum might be just the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller h2onhk Posted August 4, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2018 Bubble gum or chewing gum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Drago Posted August 4, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2018 It's breathe. Exhale after the edge change. Or don't worry about it, it's only 17 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted August 4, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2018 I know I am breathing because half the time I am cursing at myself :) ...or maybe at the driver....either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted August 4, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2018 It's not intentional but I know I inhale at preturn and exhale as I turn and I finish the exhale at hook up. This is not to say I still don't get winded after a certain number of passes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller lcarnes Posted August 4, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2018 Don't chew gum! Huge choking hazard. Practice breathing while doing handle drills on land. Eventually it will transfer the water... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller sunvalleylaw Posted August 4, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2018 Not saying I do it well, but ideally I would exhale on hooking up and wake crossing (second half of turn) and inhale on pre-turn, first half of turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Gar Posted August 4, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 4, 2018 Swim as cross training it will help you not get winded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
