Coach's Eye Help

[dchristman]

How do I fix this? undo, redo, clear ... or maybe someone has a video I can compare :p

 

[Andre]

Not an expert here...but i try to keep both feet in when i ski.

Good luck! :)

[Andre]

Would like to see couples of frames later too!

 

[dchristman]

I believe I can fly!

 

No question - I didn't get the 1/4.

 

 

[Andre]

You're OK?

 

[ToddF]

I think the first frame says it all. Notice how your chest is way out in front of your hips and your left leg is already straight.

 

Three things to fix:

 

Stay leading with the hips not the chest

Have your COM over the ball of your foot

Flex the knee, not straight for maximum pop

 

I really believe you could have made it to the shore.

 

But keep trying I really think you can get there!!

Oh, one more thing I really love the knee drive that is exceptional, kinda natural talent I have to think.

 

 

 

[dchristman]

@andre yes. It was a bit of a neck snapper, but I skied another 4 or 5 passes after that with greater success.

[dchristman]

@ToddF I think your on to something. I'm RFF. If that's my left leg that's straight I was skiing with the wrong foot front!

[ToddF]

@dchristman

dang, I should have looked at the other picture it is much more obvious. :)

actually it is impressive that you didn't make it to shore.

[dchristman]

A couple more shots - my ride wasn't over

 

Headline: Denali c85 makes a big splash

 

I did get me and the ski to the 1/4 area

 

@ToddF I don't think I had a good shot at the shore. Due to the yaw characteristics of the Denali my trajectory more downcourse than it appeared.

 

[dchristman]

I'm actually shocked at how far downcourse I went! I could have been well up the bank with the momentum I had.
